We basically just used each gun that had been using those particular lubes the whole deployment, so as far as I know there was no cross contamination among the lubes.
The Froglube gun wasn't able to come back out to the second day of shooting, shooter had other tasks at hand. I believe the FireClean and EWL guns both ended with around 34 mags a piece, I don't know what sort, if any stoppages occured with the FireClean gun but mine with the EWL was starting to get sluggish around mag 32 and suffered one stuck casing with a blown primer, MK262, at mag 31. Simply ran out of time before getting it to completely choke. Also had one round that jammed the gun up, M855, failed to fire, Mag 33, and once I got it free I saw that the case had some pretty good dents just after the shoulder, I didn't load the magazine so I don't know if the round was like that to begin with.
Once I get some info from the FireClean shooter I'll further update this. We did take some before pictures, and will take some after pictures to compare.

I also learned that its important to put loctite on my thorntail flashlight mount, twice over the course of fire it worked itself loose so that the flashlight was sliding around in the ring.

Rero, just so I'm clear....you guys lubed the guns at the beginning of your test but didn't reapply any additional lube once you began shooting?
Also, thanks much for your service! Stay safe out there.

That is correct, one individual lubed each gun as close to the same amount as possible and no more lube was added once the shooting started.
Unknown in regards to the CLP, just whatever the Army issued stuff.

Looks like they are using the older formula of Rand, regardless, this looks rather impartial to me.
