You always hear about gun sales in the US, but you never hear about what happens to the guns at the end of their lifecycle. I assume guns wear out eventually, and I assume you can’t just chuck them in the garbage when they do. What happens to them?

      Right, but then what? Like cars do the same thing, but they end up in scrapyards. What’s the gun equivalent?

        Same. Some are broken down and functioning parts are sold off. Guns bought in buyback programs get melted down.
