Worst gun advice you’ve ever heard

[Alan]

I’ve heard some pretty questionable gun advice over the years, and a few lines still make me shake my head. What’s the worst piece of advice you’ve ever heard someone give about firearms?

When the military introduced the M-16 they published in the instructional manual that it was "self cleaning" and provided no cleaning kit. That advice cost many U.S. Marines & Army Soldiers their lives on the battlefield.

That's pretty sad...that bad advice jammed rifles and cost brave Marines and Soldiers lives out there.

I keep hearing revolvers never fail. Come on, they're machines, they can jam if you push them hard enough..

Some dude told me pistols don't need ear protection, now I've got this ringing that won't quit
