How many rounds can be fired from different styles of black powder weapons before the gun will be so fouled with black powder residue that the weapon will need to be cleaned before any more firing.

I am thinking of some different types

A single Shot Musket Muzzle loader
A Single Shot Rifle Muzzle Loader
A Single Shot Rifle cartridge rifle
A Lever Cartridge style rifle
A C&B Revolver
A Cartridge revolver
