What should be used to clean a firearm?

  1. Water

  2. Gun oil and a cleaning rod

  3. Soap and water

  4. A rough brush

The correct answer is: Gun oil and a cleaning rod

Gun oil and a cleaning rod provides the right balance of lubrication and pressure for safely and effectively cleaning a firearm. Water (A) can cause rust and damage to the metal components. Soap and water (C) can also cause rust and may not be effective in removing built-up residue. A rough brush (D) can scratch the surface of the firearm and potentially damage it.
