    I use Hoppe's # 9, Mobil 1 and Pennzoil wheel bearing grease for 99% of my firearm maintenance. If I pick up an old rifle with a filthy barrel, I soak it in Kroil for a few days.

    Yet when we try to reduce the noise pollution on them, they heavily discourage doing so. WTF?

    As for whether the burning of lube produces carcinogens, well, I use FrogLube so it doesn't do any worse than cooking oil.

    Burning anything produces carcinogens.
    FC has a very high burn point.
    The only places that I have heated to the point of burn-off is muzzle devices inside suppressors.
    Using a thin coat, permitted time to dry out, with follow-on thin coats, leaves nothing to really burn, and is trapped inside the suppressor anyway.

    I use a thin coat on the internals, as it doesn't need to be dripping wet like a lot of other products, which leaves less to aerosolize/spray/vaporize/drip/run.

    The burnt powder and primer crap is still a factor.

    In the end, I'm not coating my hands in toxic substances to lubricate or clean, and I'm gaining performance. That's worth it to me.

    I have no financial connection to FC, it's just what I prefer to use and after using most of what's on the market, it's what has worked the best for my stuff.

    As you should. I am not out to bash FC, I've never even used it. I was just pointing out a fact.

    I'll stick with my breakfree and SAE30 motor oil. I'm much more concerned with what I am breathing in during my 2 hour commute everyday and what is expelled from the HVAC at work than I am with what may or may not be expelled from my firearm that I am lucky to shoot once a week.

    YMMV

    I agree. I would guess that I inhale more petroleum product while pumping gas into my car than by shooting my AR lubed with motor oil. If I wanted to worry about health effects related to the discharge of a firearm I would be more concerned about the burnt gunpowder and residue left behind by lead projectiles.
