I have broken at least two ACOGs, but never a weapon part.
I completely forgot about charging handle pins. Seen a couple of those break.
Maybe some springs, I've had disconnector springs go soft on me once in awhile.
Heck, even the term "battlefield" is going the way of the dodo.
For me, the worst case scenario is I lose a small part like a detent, spring, or pin. A sandwich bag of spares helps keep the issue to a minimum.
I authored a post about replacement schedules a while back. Check it out: https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=61505
I keep some spare extractors, spare bolts with extractors, firing pins. Bolt is going to take the most beating.

On this point I would add if something were to go down I fear we'd have a bunch of paranoid lone wolves running around shooting at everything that moves...just sayin' As to parts breakage..bolt, LPK, gas rings (the only thing I've ever had to replace) and maybe a spare firing pin
