I have said this for years, but Mr Vickers has more street cred.

I don't think you can "overlube" a weapon in most situations. However, I have seen many people have to cease fire with an M4 or M16 due to oil from a heavily lubed weapon blowing back into their face. It takes a lot of lube for that to happen though.
I went with a dry-lube for my time in the sandbox. Saw too much grit trapped in lube for me to go that way. Worked for me, won't speak for others.
I get the purpose of their video but do still feel it's situational dependent.

I was arguing with someone today who swore that lubricating 1911's was a bad, bad thing.

Since you recommended it a while ago, I've been using Mobil 1 and haven't looked back.

Looks about the right amount for a 1911.

We had a dude on contract get a face full of lube when we initially BZO'd our M4's, and we just laughed at him.
never doubted you a second.

When you're as big as the Washington monument, over lubing is a myth.

AR direct impingement need more lube if shooting a lot at one time but lube attracks dirt, piston does not need as much lube IMHO. What do you think!

Interesting read. LWRC used to have an ar on display with 5000 spent casings saying that it hadn't been cleaned.

Keep them lubed, fed with decent ammo & good mags and it's a very reliable platform.

A D.I. AR15 can go tens of thousands of rounds with little maintenance. Just use good mags, quality ammo, and keep her lubed.
Even in conditions like the desert it's best to use lube. Lube allows contaminants to be displaced, a dry gun does not. Even the U.S. Military has observed this through testing.

That's been my experience as well. In fact, my issued M4 was more reliable than a Type II AK that we had.
