I'd send a response but you'd probably just frame it above your desk.
You clearly are the noob here and have no idea who Misanthropist is or what he has done. I'd be willing to bet he's forgotten more about shooting and shooting products than you're currently aware of.

Bloggers gonna blogg.
I usually like the stuff that Vuurwapen dude writes about. But content for the sake of content is getting a little lame. Good job, he found out it's made from a plant based oil. Give me a break.
I think he bit off more than he could chew with this one.

Several years and zero problems with any of their products. I love that I can quickly get all the copper out of the bore without any smell whatsoever. The bore gel gets the hard baked on crap off the crown when muzzle devices are removed and their LPX oil works great even in the cold.

I use good old Hoppes products to clean and straight SAE 30 to lube working parts (JR Carbine, Fabarm STF12 and M&P 40). For the barrels I use synthetic 2-stroke oil. I have lots of it and I don't ride a 2-stroke anymore, so I'm going to use it. The big bonus is that it is made to burn clean and doesn't leave a big residue. That's my money-saving noob theory and I'm sticking to it. 
Oh no, a patent! Like somehow a patent regarding the mixing of vegetable oils (but not what ones, nor the actual formula) somehow proves that Fireclean = Crisco. What a poor attempt at bridging information. aka Fireclean is composed of vegetable oils, thus it is Crisco.
Mass spectrograph and x-ray spectrograph are needed to determine composition.
A burn test and infrared are pretty useless in determining chemical composition.

It does have some interesting info in the patent though....
The PDF is here and the best part of the patents are the following items.
PDF version https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/pdfs/US20150017346.pdf
The table 1 in it is very informative as well with a chart listing effectiveness of removing carbon fouling.
I find it funny that they mention Slip2000 Carbon Killer is poor lubricant...of course it is! It is used to remove carbon, it is a cleaner...not a lubricant.
Thanks man but he's joking...although I had to look at his username before I realized it wasn't someone being a #### because for a second I was pretty WTF. But in reality I know dfritter well and he probably can make a pretty educated guess about my skillset. He's just screwing with me.
Agreed about the burn test however in my own experience infra red and near IR would be useful for determining composition, as well as mass spec as you noted. as would HPLC (probably the best method).
xray is usally used to determine metals so i'm not sure how that would apply here.
As as side note, while looking for some oils to handle higher oil bath temperatures and being faced with some really high priced silicone oil replacements I realized that the food industry had already had some options. I cant find the charts, but google vegetable oil smoke points etc. As I recall avocado oil and walnut oil were quite high. On the other hand you could put glycerin on the outside of the barrel for that smoky look once it heats up lol.
His HK416 article did it for me. That was deliberate and liabilous as well. I use to like his early YouTube vids, but really I think he is a bit of a narcissist now and comes from a wealthy family to fund his ego and #### on the gun world. He did serve in Iraq as a medic though.
But I guess he is entertaining.
Well, he's a good friend of mine and he fooled me, so that was apparently an easy mistake to make.
Vuurwapen is now pointing out that the Vickers video showed them using different rounds when comparing how much smoke comes out for different lubes: http://www.vuurwapenblog.c om/general-opinion/lies-errors-and-omissions/where-theres-smoke-theres-liar/
Not that the amount of smoke coming out should count for ####, but that's the claim. He's either right or he's going to get sued into oblivion.
