Paintball gun lube question
I keep reading in the manual for my paintball gun not to use aerosol sprays for lubricating any parts because it will damage the rubber o-rings over time. You're suppose to use some kind of special paintball gun oil. I've never seen this oil for sale anywhere. It's very aggravating as a lot of places I thought would have it do not. I don't believe I can get it anywhere around here. Would normal gun oil work as long as you were careful and didn't get it on the o-rings?

I think the lube question has more to it . I think some lubes will make the paint ball expand and like a AIR RIFLE because the presure generated in the barrel there is a chance the petrolume base oil will diesel .I would check on air gun lube of use SYN. lube only. quote:"PRAISE THE HARDBALL GUN" 0 -
I don't know if your paintball-gun is a gas operated model, if it's with the special gas - then you can get paintball gas with silicone in it.
It's right, son't use standard aerosol lubrication.
What you have in those aerosols, usually don't go well with rubber.
In other words, the regular aerosol (spraycan) oil and regular oil for that matter - dissolves the rubber or makes it swell and crack up.
I think I read somewhere, that it's a silicone based lubrication that is the best.
It must be synthetic at least, if you're using anything else than the original paintball gunoil because of the gaskets.

any light weight oil works for paintball guns
as in Rain X. using that will kill the barrel..
