YES!!!!

It's almost certain to ruin the temper of the metal (I'm no metalsmith, but that much I'm certain of).

You're also likely to get water entering into places it just shouldn't be, such as the gas system on the M60.

As a rule of thumb, moisture of any type is a firearms worst enemy. Even the high humity typically found in tropical regions is enough to cause issues.
