with the Auto Suggest Feature when adding or editing a firearm or ammunition inventory.
Created a Database Cleanup Option that will allow you to remove all the preloaded data
in the database. Also added in Safety cleanup rules that will only clear out data that is
not in use by the collection. So if you wanted to clean up the Manufacturers and Models in
the database, but keep the firearms that are listed in your database. You can still run

used from the main inventory so you won't have to do it manually.

the Ammunition section and Total rounds fired and Average Rounds fired in the Maintenance
Section.
