Hello,
I am in the process of reviewing the recent (2008) US Army publication FM 3-21-75 The Warrior Ethos and
Soldier Combat Skills.
The section on personal weapons care reads:
2-6. Never clean your weapon under running water, which can force moisture into tight places,
resulting in corrosion.
What are the thoughts of the collective wisdom here? I certainly have seen / done this over my career once or twice, especially when the weapon was especially dirty.
Hmmm....
