Use WD40.

The reason people try to do without lubricants in a high
vacuum is protect the vacuum. It is not that the
lubricants evaporate intolerably fast so that you don't
have any lubricant, it is that lubricants evaporate
intolerably fast so that you don't have a high vacuum.

That is indeed a problem. You have to line up your gun
not only with the enemy, but with your own center of
