No, you never want to use petroleum based lubricants on your Airsoft gun. They will eat up the seals and ruin the gun. Always use 100% silicone lubricants.

I hope my answer helped you.

Definitely NO....WD40 is not a lubricant. It is a water repellent that leaves a rough coating behind when it dries. I know it stops hinges squeaking but those are rough engineering compared to even an airsoft gun.
It messes up mechanisms and has no place near a gun of any sort.
Use a good quality thin silicon oil. Use it with care.
Plastering guns with any kind of oil is very bad. Oil collects dust and jams guns more, so just use a tiny bit.
Same with bikes....no WD40.
It messes bikes up really bad, especially chains and gears and does cables no good either. Use proper good quality oil.

I wouldnt use WD40. Try using some silicone spray. WD40 can damage some parts of the gun.

No, use 100% silicon oil.
Other oils can and pebbly will damage your gun.
If BBs are jamming your gun, get different BBs. It sounds like you're using .12 BBs. Use .20g seamless and up.

Not a good idea, because many airguns use internal seals that dissolve or melt if you use certain kinds of oil. There's a reason why airgun stores sell Teflon-based synthetic oils.
