gun lubricant
I think they're talking 'bout guns here......
"Tactical Gun Lubricant
Today's shooters have myriad cleaning products available to them, and new ones seem to appear daily. Some, such as Slip 2000, have been adapted from other industrial uses that share common cleaning and lubrication needs with firearms.
Slip 2000 is a nontoxic, nonhazardous, biodegradable (that also means there are no restrictions on how it can be shipped) lubricant that is made without petroleum, silicon or PTFE ingredients. Slip 2000 lubricates, cleans, displaces moisture and prevents salt-water corrosion by forming a barrier on steel that helps keep lead, copper, carbon and plastic wad fouling from sticking. The lubricant works from -130 degrees F to 1,250 degrees F. Unlike petroleum lubricants, Slip 2000 doesn't become tacky or harden and doesn't attract dust or dirt."

firearms lubricant
It appears that there may be two types in English.
Grease is definitely solid while lubricant may be liquid, or it may be the umbrella term for both.
Without knowing, I would go with
firearms lubricant

And in the military, the saying goes:
\"This is your weapon, and THIS is your gun,
this is for shooting, and THIS is for fun....\"
