  Molybdenum disulfide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the Vietnam war, molybdenum disulfide, known as "dry slide", was used for lubricating troop's weapons; the military refused to supply it, as it was "not in the manual", so it was sent to soldiers by their parents and friends privately.
A composite coating of molybdenum disulfide and titanium nitride was created on the surface of parts by chemical vapor deposition.
Molybdenum sulfide is also used as a catalyst in petrochemistry, eg.

 Todini and Co s.p.a. | Molybdenum Disulfide
Molybdenum disulphide is naturally found in the form of molibdnite mineral and has an appearance very similar to graphite.
Molybdenum sulphide is not very soluble in water while it easily dissolves in acqua regia (mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid) and hot water in some inorganic acids like nitric, sulphuric and hydrochloric acid.
Pure molybdenum disulphide is used as a lubricant.

In alloy, steel molybdenum acts as a hardening agent and also improves the properties of the alloy at high temperatures; such alloys are used in making high-speed cutting tools, aircraft parts, and forged automobile parts.
Useful compounds of molybdenum include molybdenum disulfide, used as a lubricant; ammonium molybdate, used in chemical analysis for phosphates; and lead molybdate, used as a pigment in ceramic glazes.
Molybdenum was recognized as a distinct element in 1778 by K. Scheele; its ore had earlier been confused with lead ore, hence its name.

all of the molybdenum disulfide is scrubbed from the bullet and deposited on the bore surface.
Eventually the molybdenum disulfide on the bullet is exhausted and the bullet again has the potential for depositing more gilding metal on the bore's surface.
When a molybdenum disulfide coated bullet is fired in a coated bore, the molybdenum disulfide coating on the bullet and the molybdenum disulfide coating on the bore can be compared to ball bearings between the two surfaces.

 NECO Product Descriptions
Molybdenum disulfide is one of the best dry sliding-friction lubricants in the world, and the purpose of NECO-Coat™ is of course to reduce friction between bullet and barrel bore.
Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2), or "Moly," in paste form has been used for many years in industrial applications because of its high level of sliding friction reduction, chemical neutrality and general affinity for metals (which includes surface penetration of metals).
This new cartridge case neck dry lubrication kit is designed to use molybdenum disulfide ("moly," MoS2) and small shot to quickly and easily lubricate the inside and outside of cartridge case necks in one simple operation while eliminating the necessity to remove the lubricant inside the case neck.

 Production of improved molybdenum disulfide catalysts - Patent 4243553
The stability of the catalyst is enhanced by decomposing the thiomolybdate salt in admixture with an inert, preformed particulate diluent or by bulk doping said salt with tungsten or vanadium prior to decomposition of the salt.
High surface area molybdenum disulfide is produced by thermally decomposing a substituted ammonium thiomolybdate salt having the formula B.sub.2 [MoO.sub.x S.sub.4-x ], where B is a substituted aliphatic ammonium ion or a cyclic amine containing one or more basic N atoms, and x is 0, 1 or 2.
The objects of the invention are accomplished by a novel process for the preparation of molybdenum disulfide, MoS.sub.2, having desirable properties for use as a methanation catalyst in addition to the sulfur resistant characteristics commonly associated with molybdenum disulfide.

I except it as fact that molybdenum disulfide coating is beneficial to the long-term accuracy, due to lack of fouling, in any rifled firearm using jacketed bullets.
I feel that molybdenum disulfide would be beneficial if for no other reason that it makes bores easy to clean, when you get the molybdenum disulfide out and there is nothing left in the bore.
The load that I settled on is 8.7 grains of Vihtavouri N110, a CCI 500 primer and 45 grain Remington spitzer bullets purchased in bulk.

 Beacon EP 2 Moly
Molybdenum disulfide offers particular advantages under boundary lubrication conditions, especially where sliding or vibration action pushes the grease away from the contacting surfaces.
It provides a measure of protection against fretting and is therefore recommended where this phenomenon is a problem, as in splined shafts, pivot pins, fifth wheels, and other parts subjected to oscillating or sliding motion.
It also can be used in rolling contact bearings, but is not generally recommended for high-precision rolling contact bearings because of the possibility of molybdenum disulfide building up in the clearances.
