    The smell of Ballistol is to the smell of black powder smoke as the smell of Hoppe's No. 9 is to that of smokeless. It means your gun is clean, put away, and now you can catch up on your philosophical loafing.

    I met somebody once who didn't like the smell of Kroil. This after I'd just used it to unfreeze her stuck padlock. I told her she was unAmerican.

    If it didn't smell like dirty feet, I'd like it even better...

    I have always used Ballistol straight to clean bores after firing corrosive primed ammunition.I've also used water.I never saw any reason to mix them.

    I don't mind the smell of skunk, but Ballistol makes me want to puke.
