Of course. Combat use is going to be very hard use (and abuse) of a weapon. 
It wouldn't be fair for me to take the lifetime of a carefully-used & 
maintained tool as a direct measure of a weapon's lifetime. 

But even after I took all the possible mischances of combat into account, I 
still concluded that "breaks on a roll of 18" is utterly bogus for anything 
other than a "disposable" weapon.
