Smokeless gunpowder is NOT highly corrosive like the blackpowder used in caplocks, flintlocks and old-time shotguns.
It's not true that modern rifles need to be cleaned every time you fire this. Frequent cleaning without a bore guide can actually damage the rifling of a modern centerfire.

Ol' Crazy Jim is wrong about other things here as well. He disassembles the barrel from the shotgun, which is unnecessary, and he uses aslotted cleaning jag. A tight-fitting bore mop or a Tico tool are much better choice for cleaning shotgun barrels.

And anyone who recommends pouring solvent into a bowl simply doesn't know what he's doing. What a waste!

Jim, I don't know what your area of expertise is, but this sure as heck ain't it.
