Pablo, all the silicone sprays I have tested do cause rust. I have tested them and seen the results first hand, there is no doubt about it. Do a quick corrosion test yourself to see. Nail some common nails into a board outside, buff the nails with steel wool and degrease them with lacquer thinner. Apply whatever chemicals you want to test to the nails with a q-tip and watch for next few days, if it isnt going to rain, spray the nails with water a few times a day. The silicone treated nail will probably have rust on it in less than a day, while your control nail stays clean. Besides, plastic and parts that don't really need lubrication should just stay clean and dry.
I might have to check the aviation version of corrosion x out but I am guessing that version of corrosion x could gum up or get tacky over time as most "heavy duty" rust inhibitors do. If the corrosion x for guns is the regular ol' original version, that should be good enough.
Speaking of that had you ever tried corrosion x on your guns, how did compare to weaponshield?
Almost any quality gun oil will "season" your gun and make cleaning up easier if it has been used consistently several times. Almost all weapon care companies claim their product does this and they are not lying.
