1
00:00:01,129 --> 00:00:03,296
We were tasked to conduct a field test 

2
00:00:03,296 --> 00:00:05,296
and evaluation of the recently mill 

3
00:00:05,296 --> 00:00:07,296
sped qualified bio based C and life 

4
00:00:07,296 --> 00:00:09,462
aboard Cleaner for the dod sustainable 

5
00:00:09,462 --> 00:00:11,685
technology evaluation and demonstration 

6
00:00:11,685 --> 00:00:14,239
program or program . Marine Corps 

7
00:00:14,250 --> 00:00:16,028
Systems command authorized this 

8
00:00:16,028 --> 00:00:18,083
demonstration to provide operational 

9
00:00:18,083 --> 00:00:20,139
feedback on the performance of these 

10
00:00:20,139 --> 00:00:22,083
lubricants and cleaners as well as 

11
00:00:22,083 --> 00:00:24,194
additional benefits such as reduction 

12
00:00:24,194 --> 00:00:23,959
in time cleaning weapons after firing . 

13
00:00:24,329 --> 00:00:26,385
Although competition shooters can be 

14
00:00:26,385 --> 00:00:28,607
particular about equipment and products 

15
00:00:28,607 --> 00:00:30,773
used . We actually found the bio based 

16
00:00:30,773 --> 00:00:32,662
lubricants to perform better than 

17
00:00:32,662 --> 00:00:34,773
traditional ones . We also discovered 

18
00:00:34,773 --> 00:00:34,669
less lubricant was required for the 

19
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,736
weapons to properly function showing 

20
00:00:36,736 --> 00:00:39,069
improved cycling , reduced malfunctions . 

21
00:00:39,069 --> 00:00:41,069
A reduction in smoke induced during 

22
00:00:41,069 --> 00:00:43,236
firing and weapons maintenance was cut 

23
00:00:43,236 --> 00:00:42,229
in half .
