No, it is an oil based (fish oil may well be one component as the exact formula is still unpublished) mixture heavily diluted by a solvent for application. As such, it can initially act as a solvent when applied but when the solvent evaporates, the oil base is left behind.Isn't WD40 a solvent???
I wouldn't use it on firearms.
It can be useful on guns as a penetrating oil for certain specific uses, but not as a general purpose lubricant.
I knew one guy who regularly sprayed his duty weapon with WD-40 everyday when he got off shift...without unloading He quit doing that after a trip to the range where all six rounds failed to fire because WD-40 had penetrated around the unsealed primers.
