Not exactly sure how you would determine hour of use for guns, but in general I am guessing you are correct in how you worded it.

If you calculated every hour by carry, either in vehicle or on person, etc...I think it would be quite a bit closer than say if you just counted it as time spent at the range or time of flight for a bullet.
