"Fire Superiority" is just another way of saying "we can sling more lead in their direction than they can in ours.
The Pentagon is more concerned about reliability than about accuracy. Accuracy is for individuals. Reliability is for companies, battalions and brigades. But it's also nice if the soldier doesn't dump his whole ammo load in the first minute of a conflict - so they introduced a rate of fire limiter in the form of the three-round burst mechanism.
Like I said - Bore snakes and Otis dealies have their place. A quick field decrud. But they will NEVER substitute for a decent cleaning.
