I was just reading the E-mag manual, and it says not to use oils designed for firearms... I have been using Hoppes #9 oil for the life of my paintball career (except for my impulse) and have noticed no problems... is Hoppes alright for mags?

Thanks...

some oils for firearms will really chew up things like o-rings... different oils for different physics

Well, hoppes makes a few kinds of gun lubricants and some of them might be to harsh to use in a marker, but the clear hoppes 9 thats typically sold in pb stores should be ok. But if you're real paranoid about affecting the performance of your gun, autolube(basically Gold Cup) only costs $3 at the AGD store.
I personally would go with autolube or K-C oil, but that's just my $.02.
