with the equipment maintenance. I hate to clean the bore every 5 shots :x , and get my hand and gun all oily :x , and everything :x . so I've been just shooting over 50 rounds w/o cleaning the bore recently. and now, I don't even wanna do that. Can't imagine if I get an AR. I can just tell how much I will hate the cleaning process every time after I take it to the range. 
Icon,
I would agree with not having to clean after several rounds, at least 20. However if you change ammo type or brand, I recommend you clean the barrel due to different fouling, copper consistensies and obvious natural differences in ballistics. I you truly wish to see how your firearm digests different ammo types you should clean right before you switch, otherwise you won't need to.
I also recommend you run a clean dry patch after you clean, in order to prevent mixing the cleaning solvents chemicals with your ammunition's fouling which could affect your ballistics.
