Ausfag here. This is what we are given ( minus the white shit in the pouch) plus some cleaning cloths. The issued CLP does a pretty good job. Weapons are cleaned whenever there's spare time, but typically in the mornings.

>>30746031
Add some dental picks, solvent, and some extra patches and your pretty made

Most likely time of attacks are late night early morning. This is why you guys don't make major contributions to nato.

>What do soldiers typically carry with them to clean their weapon when they aren't on base?

A cleaning kit.

How was this a question you needed to crowdsource?

I think there's a different reason

>>30745463
I used to carry WD-40 and CLP in the field as an infantry machine gunning super stud badass blue caped action hero.

But really - WD-40 and CLP.

Stand to!

One of my buddies got into le' contact and his saw was jamming constantly. He yelled at his a-gunner to toss him the clp, then wigged when the a-gunner said he didn't have it. That fucker reached into his dump pouch and found a can of Rip It. He opened up the feed tray and dumped the can of Rip It into his saw. The 249 proceeded to RIP dune coons without jamming.
