Firearms remain properly lubricated for a much longer period of time.
It seems to be an unfortunate but unavoidable fact of life that the proper care of weapons is sometimes ignored. In most cases, a weapon can simply be wiped clean with little effort. This saves a lot of time and frustration and makes cleaning almost fun. That s right - no liquid lubricant, but still completely lubricated. This unique self-lubricating effect was used to great advantage in Desert Storm.
