Recent samples of all-weather semifluid lubricant for aircraft ordnance, obtained both from manufacturers and from Navy stocks, have failed to meet cold-sweat-cold gun firing test required by Military Specification MIL-L-19701 (NOrd); these failures were due to ice adhesion attendant on poor water resistance of lubricants; probable cause of loss in water resistance was presence of surface active impurities, such as sodium soaps and soaps of myristic and oleic acids, in lithium stearate thickener; lubricant of altered formulation has been developed, and used successfully for Mk 12 machine gun equipped with Mk 7 pneumatic feeder.
