Absurd things and methods still get used to clean C7s, among every other sort of weapon, and we're killing them the same way...

I found one of my troops hacking away his the muzzle crown on a C7 a while back with a screw driver... doesn't matter what the weapon system is if we don't teach people how to use it.

We over lean things. FNC1 a case in point. Sand, scouring powder, oven cleaner among other abrasive and corrosive materials were used to clean the FN. We wore it out not by shooting it but by over  cleaning it.

Are you saying 19Th century RSM's and 20Th century weapons tech does not mix?

ahhhh shiny crowns, never mind that they come new with a black ground, you will scrape and damage the most important part of the rifling !

I recall the literature of the AA12 combat shotgun bragging the weapon never needed cleaning and the action was lubricated by the carbon from firing.

While the claim seems somewhat dubious, if it were true you can imagine irate CQ's ranting at troops for wiping the carbon off the action....

Dagny, this is not a battle over material goods. It's a moral crisis, the greatest the world has ever faced and the last. Our age is the climax of centuries of evil. We must put an end to it, once and for all, or perish - we, the men of the mind. It was our own guilt. We produced the wealth of the world - but we let our enemies write its moral code.

Nope, gotta scrape them till they shine, usual practice is to scrape them out with the female end of a cleaning rod, but if you're real keen, get a hardened steel screwdriver, and really hack the dirt out. You can tell you've got all the carbon out when you start to come up with metal splinters...

Pro-tip, the lower receiver is an alloy, fairly easy to cut, a few minutes with a drill and some high speed steel drill bits, and you can make plenty of lightening cuts, no problem to drill out up to half a pound.  You don't really need the *entire* mag well....

I find the AK47 crude looking. How about something more modern. (And yes, it's real.)
