http://www.defence.gov.au/swifteagle/images/gallery/210904/JAPU19SEP04JO313_lo.jpg

It looks like the plug is permanently fused into the barrel, so I take it instead of just screwing on a muzzle guard during training and blank-firing, they swap out the entire barrel. Is the barrel still threaded though? And wouldn't having the end of the barrel fused allow powder and such to build up inside the barrel? I would think that would be very hard to clean.
