Wolf-
There is no such animal as a gun that never malfunctions. Glocks do have feed problems, Sigs suffer from weak decocker springs, and 1911s have a history of eI also took very good care of it.
The US issue 9mm bullet is the 115gr FMJ.

I think you hit the nail on the head about MOST dislikes about weapons in the field, if you don't care for your baby (read weapon), she won't take care of you. And Harley hit the other, most of the weapons once they pass the introduction tests have standards lowered to allow for cheaper manufacture and thus require the average grunt (and yes I've had to earn the title so I can use it) to play mister QC and find the faults (at least in their eyes) and then sweet talk the armorer into fixing / upgrading it.
And that is why I have taken the Amry coraspondance corse "small arms repair".... well that and I am a GUM NUT (jokin, I'm not a nut I'm just cooko for cooco puffs!) Thus I enjoy reading about weapons even dull monolog army TM's, hince my intrest in Airsoft.
Now I can say for a fact that many guys I know take "pookie bait" with them to the field to help make MRE's taste better, or supplement MRE's. And other (like me) bring gear to make life easier, ie my lovely wal-mart cot and chairs (the ones that just pop up!), my tac sling for AR's /M-16's, And my quick detachable scope.
Now if I was heading over to Affganistan I'd be sure to leave the wally world cot and chairs.... maybe, But the tac sling and scope will most deff go with me, plus my personal gun cleaning kit, which includes everything needed for cleaning quickly and thrroghly, plus small mods (ie trigger work, and minor repairs). But maybe that is because I'm a "Guard" soldier that has had the Hoooah level dropped some and want every advantage to make it home.
