Not good at all. Don't use it.
WD40 is traditionally used for displacing water ... hence the WD monica. I was told that the inventors were looking for a water displacer and this was the 40th formulation they tried; hence WD40. I do not claim this to be the true reason for the name. I believe it came to prominence for spraying on car distributor caps to displace water.
It is not a lubricant. One use I was told about by a plumber was in freeing stuck stop cocks. Spray around the tap stem and give a little turn until the tap will not turn any more, release the turn and spray a bit more.Repeat. Eventually the tap will free.
I do use it as a cleansing agent for various things, but not airgun related.

Good for removing old silicone from around the bath/sink/window - but keep well away from airguns!
I thought it was invented in 1940 hence the name...
I find it's excellent as a water repellent, but lubricant it's not. It's constituents are very volatile & soon flash off.
If you ever get caught in the rain a few hours away from a chance to get the stock off & dry it properly, it's a Godsend.
I make my own equivalent nowadays, 5 or 6 parts paraffin to 1 part whatever engine oil I have lying around, but I always keep a can of the real stuff handy.
I know you end up with a very rusty bike chain if u use this instead of a proper chain lubricant .
When I die don't let my wife sell my guns for what she thinks I gave for them!!!
Strictly external use only - and sparingly, via a rag. Removes crud...
Spray a little on a piece of kitchen roll and just rub your rifle down and see how much dirt comes off your lovely blued rifle!!! Mach 1.5
