I'll wager you can clean a shotgun barrel with a sandblaster and never notice the difference shooting trap or game. IMO many people simply make up a lot of gun myth and legend to give themselves something to do in the evenings. Try to ignore them and use common sense.est Answer: WD-40 is fine for cleaning your guns. The reasons that I have heard for NOT using WD-40 are: (1) WD-40 will seep into your cartridges and render your primers inert.

Austria-Hungary was a multinational realm and one of the world's great powers at the time. Austria-Hungary was geographically the second-largest country in Europe after the Russian Empire, at 621,538 km 2 (239,977 sq mi), and the third-most populous (after Russia and the German Empire).
Empires were destroyed, millions were killed and the world was upended in a war meant to end all others. On July 28, 1914, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, a move that came a month after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo. In a matter of days, Europe's great powers went to war.
