When I went to unit armory school, they told us that although we wouldn't get away with it, that most guns (rifles, pistols and machine guns) in the army were worn out from over cleaning rather than by shooting or being used. The rifles used for training purposes (basic, advanced, etc) are stored in large arms rooms and issued and must be super clean when turned in, they are so worn out it is amazing!

Many people clean like they were taught, like their dad taught them, because of corrosive ammo, they cleaned it extra good.
