If you're machine gunning then probably you're going to be in trouble:p In most cases a steady rate of fire is required:lol:

While I would like to agree, the fact is that a newer gun is less likely to suffer mechanical failures, thus can be reloaded and fired accurately more often. Older guns require more care, and are more likely to jam.

Whatever else you do, keep your guns clean and well oiled. You never know when you might need them.

I also believe that shortening your gun (by cutting off a small top part of it) makes it even more fun, it's easier to maintain clean and gives enormous amounts of pleasure when there is the big boom!

Yes I've read somewhere that the Israeli Army is following such precedures. I haven't try it myself so I cannot really comment, but I'm pretty happy with my gun so nothing is comming off;)

That's part of the fun, especially in the untrained hands of a new recruit;) :D

Oh, don't be so cautious, there is no any threat in shortening! It looks then much better, is lighter, so easier to move when needed, and fits better when docked, as it doesn't scratch the ceiling then. But don't go too far when cutting - there's a saying: "When the gun is bigger than the bag [supposedly the ammo container], the hunt is over". ;)

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Nothing like training that new hand in the manipulation of the cannon for maximum report of shells and reload time:D Like Sailor Steve said, keep it well lubed and oiled it helps stop barrel burn and warpage:smug:

Blowing the tube regularly also helps to keep it clean from rust and other unwanted material. :know:

Well, see, blowing is just an expression. It is more of a sucking of the cannon tube that helps free up anything that is caught within:up:

After reading the thread I realized that I haven't seen the barrel cleaning brush anywhere around for a long time (in fact I can't remember seeing it ever on my sub). Do you guys use one? Looks similat as those for cleaning bottles inside... :o

That's correct. A true master cleaner rotates the barrel as well to have maximum efficiency and handles both ammunition magazines:up:
