Do guns wear out? Do they end up in landfill? You always hear about guns being sold, but never about what happens to them at the end of their useful life.

    As others have said for the most part with the advent of interchangeable parts guns don’t get beyond a state of repair often. Some probably do go to landfills but they’re metal and metals tend to be one of the few materials worth recycling. Other might be parted out if their damage is isolated to a few parts.
