Nice and simple - This product is one of the most useful things any Airsoft GBB owner can have!
When your GBB starts getting a little sluggish, a spray fixes it. When your magazine makes that faint hissing sound, spray away. A quick squirt can even make your Hi-Cap magazines feed like a dream!
Silicone lubricants have long been the standard of Airsoft lubrication as it is a safe product on the many rubber and plastic parts used in these guns. Petrochemicals attack rubber and some plastics slowly and lead to breakages and corroded valve seals - not good. Silicone based lubricants do not attack these materials, leading to a long and happy life for your Airsoft collection.
The oil comes in a small aerosol spray can, and has the consistancy of water.
All you have to do to use this oil is spray it directly where you want it to go. It comes out pretty quick so you rarely need more than a quick tap on the nozzle. A small tube is attached to the nozzle which helps you squirt the oil in just the right place.
The oil itself is ideal for use on...
- Inside the rubber pad on top of GBB magazines,
- Inside the gas containing part of GBB magazines,
- GBB slide rails,
- GBB blowback cylinders,
- GBB piston heads,
- GBB loading nozzles, barrels and breeches,
- Other fast-moving parts.
The oil is NOT suitable for...
- Gears (does not provide the protection of a gear-grease).
It protects, lubricates, prevents drying, prevents wear, and stays put where the thin "dropper" and "spray" oils would run off. It is also great for keeping your magazines leak-free with regular use. Plus it is cheap and there's plenty of it (£4.50 for a 150ml can (UK retail price).
It doesn't last that long each time it is applied though, as it is a very thin oil. This works in its favor sometimes though, as its low-viscosity means that it doesn't slow down fast-moving parts.
Provided this oil is used in the right places, it gets a solid 10 out of 10.
