I know how many 7.62x39 blank we fired on We Were Soldiers. We fired 250,000 rounds of just 7.62x39. I would say about 200,000 rounds of .223 and 60,000 rounds of 7.62 NATO. Not sure of the 9mm or 7.62x54R fired on the show. It is well over 500,000 rounds used up on one show.
How many pull thru patchs, litres of "break free" and swear words did you go through cleaning all that?

It was a lot of cleaning which everyone pitched in when I showed them what to do. It worked out to about 3 hours after wrap to prep guns and reload mags for the next day. That was everyday for 3.5 months and swear words I lost count on how many.

It was amazing seeing the empty crates and cases stacked the outside the trailer that just continued to grow.
