Which of the following is used as a cleaning or maintenance tool for muzzleloading firearms?

  1. Nipple wrench

  2. Priming powder

  3. Arm guards

  4. Whisk broom

The correct answer is: Nipple wrench

A Nipple wrench is a small tool used for loosening or tightening the nipple on a muzzleloading firearm. This is an important part of cleaning and maintaining the firearm as the nipple connects the powder chamber with the barrel and allows the gun to fire. The other options, priming powder, arm guards, and whisk broom, are not used for cleaning or maintenance of the firearm. Priming powder is used to ignite the gunpowder, arm guards protect the shooter's arms from the recoil, and a whisk broom is used for sweeping and dusting. None of these options are considered cleaning or maintenance tools for muzzleloading firearms.
