While I haven't really yet seen this, I have heard of this when it was overly applied with FC. I have not been able to confirm the issue when it was applied as directed as a light film.

Last week I took apart a Benelli BCG that was gummed up by Fireclean. The firing pin wouldn't drop and I had to pry out the cam pin. This was my fault - I didn't completely clean off the old lube before applying FC. After cleaning everything well, I relubed with Slip2k EWL. Inertia drive stays relatively clean, so FC isn't as advantageous here.
I still lube AR BCGs with FC, though Slip2k is my "general purpose" lube for everything else.
It was the same machine used for the Weaponshield test, I saw it sometime in the early to mid 90s, I don't know if it would be on youtube I will have to do a search sometime. I doubt it was faked. The common method between both tests was the application of pressure, I'm no engineer but I fail to see the application of pressure involved in an AR's function being of great concern. It seems to me the pressure of firing is contained within the chamber. I've come to follow some advice I learned long ago; if it slides grease it, if it rotates oil it
Dang fellas. I have to admit I've been "slip 2000 ewl curious", because that's one of the few, i haven't tried. I've re-read all your comments and, might have to spend some more money and see what all this hype is about. What's one or two more bottles, right?
Yes, and that video is completely irrelevant, almost as much as if I were to rub my fingers together with astroglide between them, and then proclaim that astroglide is the end-all, be-all. See, the kinds of forces in that machine is demonstrating, are not the kinds of forces firearms actually endure. This is evidenced by actual wear tests showing FP-10 as inferior to G96.
