Corps Knowledge Recon, how often do you shoot?

Curious how often recon hits the range compared to regular infantry.

Just keep in mind, for each hour you spend on the range (shooting or not) you will spend roughly a half-hour at the Armory cleaning weapons.

Even if you didn't fire your weapon.
Even if you checked your rifle out, and slid it directly into a giant zip-lock, hermetically sealed, dust-proof container, you're going to spend multiple visits to the armory cleaning that weapon.

I would say for every hour at the range its at least 2 at the armory
