No no no!
Never tried it before, but it seems to be popular. I used to use spray carburetor cleaner on my all my guns till I went to the Glock armorers school and said they don’t do that.
I don’t know if the reasons not to were Glock specific or not. Maybe because of some reaction between the polymer and the chemicals in the cleaner. I don’t know. When it was mentioned, the reaction from the instructor was like “this dumb*** did WHAT”. And I dropped the subject.

Heard of it, never done it. There are a ton of products available specifically made for guns, and since I don't normally clean more than 2-3 guns a week (and usually not that much) they are not that expensive. Just not worth the risk IMO.
Nope, I've only ever used CLP.
It will harm some finishes/coatings. Use at your own risk.
Nope. It'll clean the oil just fine, but IME it's just leaves carbon and powder residue dry and harder to get off than it already is. And then there's what Oklahomabassin said, so I see ZERO value in using it.
Well, it’s also flammable and the chlorinated stuff is worse than the non chlorinated in terms of cancer causing chemicals. I’ve also read it will damage rubber and plastic parts so there is that to consider. I say it’s a no-no, at least for me.

I know folks who claim that it's great and causes no harm, but it just doesn't sound like a good idea for so many reasons.
