Tom: I use them in a Pedersoli Sharps rifle 1859 that has been modified.

Tyler J. Bishop: I've only used one of these so far on a carbine length gas system on an ar15 build that is seriously overgassed and it came out really clean. Not sure how often you're supposed to clean your gas tube but it has to be around 5000+ rounds. The rifle build I'm talking about is so overgassed I have an a5h2 buffer, sprinco green spring, and a BCM a5 buffer tube on it and it still ejects at 2 o clock. I'm going to need an a5h4 buffer on it to try and get it to a normal 3-4 o clock ejection pattern. So on a properly gassed build you could probably go without cleaning your gas tube at all. I also ran it into the gas key on the BCG and it seems super clean too. I believe cleaning your chamber is much more important.

Amazon Customer: A little thinner and less fuzzy than the pipe cleaners your kids use for arts and crafts. I haven't used on to clean a gas tub yet but I've used them for cleaning the ejector rod housing for a couple single-action revolvers and found them to be quite suitable.

ATP1: Not having touched an M-16 since my 70's Marine days, I obviously didn't buy these for cleaning gas tubes. Rather, I use them for cleaning extractor and firing pin channels or anything else on my pistols too small for a Q-tip. For those of us who completely disassemble our 1911's and other pistols to thoroughly clean them, these are a must. Though I use solvent and spray cleaner nozzle brushes to softly scrub out the channels, residue is left behind. These cleaners pick that up. In the firing pin channel they are actually so soft and the cleaner wire so thin that you can run them right out into the chamber getting rid of anything that might build up in the striker hole. 16" too long for a pistol? Once one four or five inch piece is too dirty to use, I just snip it off and go to the next five inches. In the frame of a 1911 and its various parts, there are at least five places where a Q-tip can't go. These pipe cleaners get into all of them. What little lint which rarely, very rarely, might be left behind is quickly removed with a puff of your breath. I highly recommend pistol owners add these to your cleaning product supplies.
