Is white lithium grease good for guns? It's cheap, universally available, and resists high temperatures.
>>
Only the stuff that resists oxidation and has good reversibility, otherwise it gunks up like a motherfucker. Personally, I would use aluminum based grease over lithium.

Use it all the time, works great. Don't put too much or you gunk the shit up, and throwing your gun into a pile of sand will cause it to get all up in the grease, so don't do that.

Use lithium grease with moly and EP additives.

The Swiss army does the same exact thing, standard issue automatenfett is lithium grease with moly and other additives to improve performance under high pressure and temperature.

Considering it is intended for use inside *sealed* bearings

No, literally not helpful

I only use Automatenfett on my guns, but it the high pressure part is relative
for the 35mm guns we use high pressure grease (which sticks to anything like hell)

The range master at Ingold's covered my gun with artillery fat (had a faulty mag, and he thought the gun was too dry - an AK, too dry...). It was a pain in the ass to remove. Solved the mag problem with a file and a hammer.

Not complaining. Just that grease was difficult to get rid off, especially on the recoil spring.

Yeah, 35mm cannons are a specialized application. You want NLGI no. 2 max, anything thicker is going to be obnoxious to use.
