This video debunks the common internet suggestion of urinating on a malfunctioning firearm, particularly when clogged with mud. While urine can be used to melt ice on a frozen weapon in extreme circumstances, it is ineffective and potentially detrimental for mud-induced malfunctions. The presenters advocate for allowing firearms to dry and then brushing off debris, noting that water can often worsen mud-related issues by migrating the dirt deeper into the action. For severe contamination, taking the firearm apart and showering it with water is suggested as a more effective, albeit extreme, cleaning method.
