Joke aside. I seriously wonder what would happen. I inquired before about eating the stuff and got a rather entertaining and educational reply. I figure that using it as a sex aid can't possibly be less.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

No part of the wiki article on cosmoline would entice me to try.
From the sound of it, I wouldn't even put it on door hinges.

Yeah, I have some Cosmoline around (I do have an actual use for it, I swear), and really its just not good for...well, anything besides keeping things preserved. Its REALLY good at that. And making a house smell like...well, cosmoline.

If the Egyptians used a compound similar to it to mummify people...its not the kind of thing you'll be wanting to use to lube your rifle.

Here is a question. I am sure y'all are familiar with roller delayed firearms. And since I am doing roller locked that's similar enough. My question is how large do the rollers need to be? Would 8mm in diameter and 7.5mm high (it's a cylinder) be enough? The rifle fires 7.5x55 Swiss.

Looking at a video of the Stgw.57 it seems to be about right. Is my estimate about right?

It depends on timing, bolt mass, materials, pressure, etc. It's basically a lot of math.

I've looked at the video some more and concluded that it's more like 8mm x Case diameter. So I am going with that. Bottom line is that it does not need to be just right, just look right.

When applied to the 7.92x57mm IS? Nothing of note.

When applied to the girlfriend? She'll start calling you a cosmoliner while and after you grease her down with it.

Corda said it beat, although you really won't be much worse than the 7,62x39mm.

Good thing i like sick shit. *nods*

But yea, i have came to the conclusion that having NATO when my timeline doesnt adhere to certain historical events, Like the forming of NATO, it wouldnt make since to abandon a round that works as intended for decades in favor of a new one.

It's common, it's sufficiently powerful for most purposes, if you're allowed to use expanding bullets, it's light and compact, gives you larger magazine capacities than larger calibers... Basically, it's thoroughly mediocre and the definition of "good enough for government work"

As a civilian, I'd carry a 9mm, with hollowpoints. If I was military, and had to deal with the Hauge Convention, I might want something slightly larger.
