That type of mentality is detrimental to performance and costs units (and civilian shooters) more money in the long run.
For those who like their weapons clean because that is what they learned at Parris Island, that's cool. I'm sure your Drill Instructor would be proud, but I don't stand with my feet at a 45* angle anymore and I actually use both hands to eat dinner.
I guess my point is to provide proper advice for removing carbon from the bolt tail, if people have had success with good, non-harmful techniques, when that is what people are asking. It is a shame that the default reply often is "OMG! You clean your gun?! What a noob!"
If you get my drift....
It's not about surviving, it's about winning!
