Good lubricant?

[Warrior]

Would this be a good lubricant for my GBB? I'm not sure if it's 100 % silicone.
On the front it says, "Water proofs, rustproofs, prevents sticking, stops squeaks, clean, non-staining"
On the back it says "This product penetrates deeply and eliminates annoying squeaks and sticking problems. Repels water and ice and retards rust and corrosion. May be applied to wood, metal, rubber, leather, and some fabrics."

There's no listing of ingredients or contents anywhere? What you're looking for is petroleum distillates or anything similar.

In either case, I've never liked spray lubricant, as you lose a lot of control in how much you can apply and too much lube can be just as bad as not enough. I've always used R/C car shock oil. You can buy it at your local hobby store for a few bucks for a 2 ounce bottle, and it comes in a wide variety of weights (you want something between 10 and 25 for almost any purpose other than gears on an AEG and sears/trigger/hammer mechanisms on GBBs and probably spring rifles). I've been playing airsoft for about 10 years now and have gone through a grand total of two and a half of those little bottles.

I'm in Ann Arbor and buy mine from Ryder's Hobby Shop. You probably have a similar shop near you that would carry it.

It doesn't show a list of ingredients, but could I use this without any harm to the gun?

That's the thing, without a known list of ingredients/contents, we can't tell you if it's safe to use or not.

In my experience most of the commercially available spray silicone like that has petroleum distillates in it. What that means that eventually that petroleum will eat away at any of the rubber bits in your gun (o-rings, hop-up bucking, etc). What you want is either to go with the shock oil like Knief said, or purchase your spray lubricant from an airsoft retailer.

The only way I know for sure a silicone lubricant that isn't sold by a hobby shop/airsoft store is safe is if it's listed as being food grade, as in safe to use in applications where it might be consumed by humans.

I applied the Google and your lube is a no go.

It includes a quote from the manufacturer's material safety data sheet that says: "Contains petroleum distillate."
