TM GBB Lube Tube?

[Shirley]

Well I was looking in the manual and saw that there was 2 type of products to maintain the slide.

First was a bottle spray to spray into the Inner Barrel.

Second was some sort of tube looking. What is that one for and where to use? What kind of lube is it?

When I opened up my TM DE, there was some sort of white lube/grease..

You need to periodicallly lube anything that has moving parts touching. That's the point of lube. So generally the slide/slide rails and the piston and loading nozzle.

I wouldn't spray anything into the inner barrel, you want to keep shit out of there unless you're having problems/jams with the hopup rubber.

You can use grease-ish stuff but I've also just used silicone oil to lube parts and it seems to work fine.

Grease, hmm I have used the silicone oil from AI, but it runs out pretty quick, form the amount of air blowing out from the slide, the oil is spread out and looks almost dried out from 20 shots..
I should try grease.

Runs out where?

And lubing is regular/preventative maintenance, but I find I don't have to do it that often. If you're not having troubles with your gun, why are you so concerned?

I'm not sure, from the propane exiting out the chamber and slide, the oil just splashes out. Maybe I but too much.
I just want it to last long, and the internals of it was pretty dried with little grease.

I just use Super Lube on anything that moves or seals. I run a swab with sili oil down the barrel (being sure not to touch the hop rubber) and then run a dry patch through a few times to ensure the barrel is dry.
