Chlorine bleach is no better for cleaning firearms than plain water.
There are many commercial and military surplus weapons' cleaning solutions available that will do a MUCH better job, at not much more cost.
Don't forget to lightly oil all the moving parts after cleaning, either.

Hoppe's #9 is the ONLY way to clean a gun.

thats a really bad idea, it will corrode the barrel quickly. If you want a cheaper gun cleaner, use Eds Red a home made bore cleaner very cheap.
1 Part Dexron Automatic Trnsmission fluid, GM spec D20265 or later
1 part kerosene deodorized, k1
1 part Aliphatic Mineral Spirits (varsol)
1 part Acetone

Bad Idea....It would make a poor bore cleaner and would result in damage to the finish of your gun, stock etc.

I wouldn't use it. Get bore cleaner.

Yes it will eat away the metal, do not use bleach on metal it's like an acid.
