it stands to reason (at least to me) that air tool oil should basically be the same thing as pellgun oil,
I was wondering if this is sound logic, or if I’d harm my air rifle by using this oil?
by pneumatic air guns, I’m reffering to pump air guns, I know it shouldn’t be used in spring powered rifles, I would think air tool oil should more than suffice for a pump gun

The oil is flammable. Used in the high pressure chamber of a spring powered rifle will cause detonation, or at the very least dieseling. This is unsafe. At the least it will damage you gun. It has the potential for serious injury or even death.

edit
as for a pump gun, maybe, but a little tube of crosman pellgun oil is like $3, I’d hate to find out later if it was damaging to seals in say my Benjamin 397… i’d play it safe

   Not if you want to protect your airgun.

   The right stuff is cheap — no point whatsoever in experimenting with stuff designed for a completely different function.
