To be fair this is about safety protocol and not about stock level. You need to ensure nothing is left in the weapon and rounds aren’t nicked. It’s still done this way.
One of Cycliste's Swiss colleagues allegedly mislaid a tank while doing compulsory military service. They drove it into a forest, and camouflaged it as part of an exercise. They then left it in the forest, probably to go to lunch - lunch is treated as srs bsns in Switzerland - and when they went to find it again it turned out they'd camouflaged it just a little too well. I'm assuming someone found it eventually. And not a Ukrainian farmer with a tractor.
