Would I ever do that to my own weapon? No. Not unless it was called for. I work in a group of about 30 guys, give or take a few. We are required to go to the range every so often for work but we go more then we have to because we get out of work to go shoot and have some fun. The way it works in the army is that its super hard to turn in unused ammunition, so much to the point that the guys who give it to use tell us don't give it back unless its shells. They gave us 10,000 rounds one day for 30 guys to shoot. So the last 8 guys who were still at the range were left to dispose of it before the sun went down. When were home we play around, getting our weapons fixed is as easy as filling out some paper work and taking it to the armorer.
