There are other T&E guns for EAG student use, with what lot of folks would erroneously think of as a blasphemous amounts of rounds sent downrange without a single cleaning. Bear in mind, Filthy 14 just happens to be the one with the most.
There were 14 soldiers at the class I just attended. I about dropped a deuce in my shorts laughing at the exclaimations of shock and horror when Pat pulled the BCG out of #70 to show them.
Looked like it had wind-drifted dunes of wet, black sand on it....
I had a similar experience with one of his T&E guns 2 years ago. When I went to add some Slip EWL to the BCG, that's exactly what I saw. It was both cool and vindicating (Since I'd regularly take my ARs up to 5K with just lube, while shooting Wolf!) to see these weapons go beyond 15K rounds fired without cleaning.
