I would have thought this was obvious, but apparently you have to actually engage the thinking process to see the obvious. Yet another person has put a gun in the oven. This time it was a French policeman and a now-melted SIG. Turns out 400 degrees for 20 minutes is bad for a thermoplastic pistol.
In related news, I have never had to even consider drying any of my arms after cleaning them, because I have never WET them during cleaning. Solvents and oils are all you need to clean most guns, unless you left one in the mud, in which case you could use the dishwasher. Then use an oven to dry it, just don't get distracted and leave it in the oven.
or just keep the temperature down below the melting point of your weapon.

I saw a Mythbusters episode where they put ammunition in the oven and tried to get it to penetrate the sides of the oven. The only round that would penetrate was a .50BMG...
... but when it's in side a weapon, almost any major caliber will penetrate and be potentially lethal. Conclusion?
Don't put guns in the oven. ::shakes head::
