Default Rounds down the tube

Barrels wear out - cheap and inferior ammo hasten this in some cases.

Our HK416s are guaranteed for 8 000 rounds from HK given the ammo we are obliged to use in them.

With other types of ammo I am sure You could quadruple that amount before barrel wear is significant. Other parts may go before though.

I like the idea in game terms and try to give weapons individual stats to reflect it. ADnD style - to hit if it spreads..roll another d10 for a certain percentage check to see if it jams or misfires every time the player rolls a 10 when firing.

alter stats - say shorten range to reflect greater inaccuracy etc.
