makes silicone chamber oil for their spring guns. Crosman reccomends it for the chamber on the spring guns and to put some on a rag and to rub down the rifle with it. I know that paintballers use silicone oil, the shop by my house has 4 different brands of silicone oil. I was told they put some different additives in them to make them better for metal on metal contact but still safe to use with HPA. I use both oil and grease on both my HPA rifles. I use the oil on the trigger assemblies and I did use it on some o-rings but I have switched back to using grease on the o-rings because it stays in place where's the oil tends to seep out. I do put some oil on a rag and wipe down my polished barrel with it to every once in a while. I'm a bicycle mechanic and we use a lot of silicone oil at the shop on the shifters, cables, derrailleurs and sometimes on the chains in the winter or in wet or rainy conditions. I know some of the grease we use to pack bearings is silicone but Its has additives in it too, what the additives are I don't know cause they like to keeps those things a secret but some of the spray lube we use has teflon in it. I don't use any of the silicone products we sell at the bike shop on my rifles though, I only use the stuff that the paintball shop sells on them.
