That's very true. A clean, well oiled weapons is far more reliable in war. During the Vietnam War soldiers would carry thier weapons with them through the swamps of Vietnam inadvertantly getting dirt and mud in the barrell of the weapon; When they went to fire, the gun would often backfire on them causing severe injury. It was quickly found that by putting a condom over the tip of the barrell would prevent the barrell from becoming clogged, and you could Fire the weapon through the condom. Just like after sex, the condom is a one-use item.

I'm not suggesting that we use condom's on guns in Fonline.

Repair does need an overhaul, my character has a Repair skill of 80% and using tools and super toolkits I've never successfully repaired any item. I like the idea of cleaning your weapon, but I also that Repair success or failure should not only depend on the Repair skill but also on weapon skill. Maybe a formula like
(REPAIR SKILL+WEAPON SKILL-SKILL REQUIRED TO MAKE THE WEAPON)/2 - Individual weapon repair skill
So if Repair skill was 100% Small Guns was 100% and you were trying to repair a broken 10mm(req 45 Small guns), You'd have 77.5% chance to fix the weapon
