Ballistol Lubricant Learns Foreign Languages

 

The German product Ballistol is popular with shooters the world over as an effective cleaning, lubricating, and protecting agent. Now, its aerosol cans are available in many different languages. I saw the display at IWA and had to take a few photos.

Because I am male, I rarely read directions, so it does not matter to me if the text on a can of gun oil is something I can read. However, I think this is a neat idea, and I will probably buy a few cans in my favorite languages. This way, I might not be able to tell a Romanian girl that she is pretty, but I will be able to tell her what to do if she sprays Ballistol in her eye.

    Hoppes #9 is pretty good. I think CLP is probably just as good but my father said he switched to Ballistol because he read CLP has carcinogenic properties. Coming from my dad I take it kinda seriously because he’s the type of person who says everything causes cancer these days haha. I don’t think I can get over the smell of ballistol though. I finally got tolerant of CLP and he switches! Go figure… haha

    I’ve never smelt a bad gun cleaning product & sure this stuff smells distinctively intoxicating.
