I suggest using WD40 for just about anything you choose, except gun maintenance. I know two guys who almost died as a result of doing so.
Reader's Digest version..
Armed robbery, officers on scene. Bad guys pull shotgun on officers. Officers draw and..."click". 2nd round, "click".
Officer #2..."click". 2nd round "BANG!"
End of incident.
Both officers used WD40 to clean weapons (S&W revolvers).
As a penetrating lubricant, WD40 leached into the cartridges through the flash hole. Fouled powder. No bueno
Moral..avoid WD40 in your firearms.
