Are you saying the 1980 test included
all the different forumulas used over the years, including those from the late 60's early 70's?
I can't say factually that WD-40 ever killed any primers, but I can say factually that about 1972 or 73 the NACP sent notice to all federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies that spraying the outside of loaded service revolvers with WD-40 could kill the primers. The actual situation involed the failure-to-fire of an officer's revolver in the Pacific NW, and the cause was traced to spraying WD-40 on the outside of the gun each day after the shift ended.
