Be careful about using paintball lubricants in airsoft guns. Some like Dye's Shocker Lube are meant for guns with metal and rubber parts, not plastic and can destroy plastic parts. I've seen some guys try it and anyhting plastic that came in contact with Shocker was ruined. You should really be using only pure silicone with no petroleum products in it whatsoever.

I've used the pure silicone R/C oil with no ill effects, but generally I use the ICS silicone spray for general lube and cleaning. You can get it in the U.S. from Airsplat or Aisoft Elite and 1 can will last me a year or more.
