I don't re-use toilet paper, either.
Bore snakes are just a bad answer to a question that never should have been asked.

Entirely different problem stemming from entirely different circumstances. Their guns and mags are getting dirty from the environment, not from shooting. I think any of us who use our guns under dirty, dusty, grimy, wet, muddy, freezing, snowy, or any other adverse environmental circumstances would clean them as well. When I hunt in the rain or snow, I clean them even if they have not been fired. Totally different than what we have been discussing.
