Is it safe to use a Non Petroleum distillate based silicone lube with Teflon to lubricate a Co2 guns mechanical and plastic part?

Maybe, but it's definitely safe to use Crosman Pellgun Oil or Marvel Mystery Oil (the red stuff for pneumatic tools).

You could use that, but I just use the Crosman oil on all the workings along with a couple drops on the c02 valve when changing cartridges.

I use Crosman Pellgun Oil for the old Co2 rifles, as it's made for them and the pumpers. Silicone lubes are for Break Barrels, as in on the breech seal to keep it from drying out. And I use one drop of Pellgun Oil on each Co2 cartridge when inserting fresh ones to keep the valve and seals lubed internally.

I've been using Crosman pellgun oil on the co2 cylinders and the working parts. My gun, a Beretta Storm PX4 uses 16 round dual wheel magazine for pellets or bb's. I was wonder to if I can lube them with pellgun oil or a silicone based, non distillate. They're about a year old and I sprayed them with CRC Spray silicone and it totally froze them up. I didnt read the label where it says DO NOT USE ON PLASTIC. My laziness,, the eyes are getting old and that really small print gets missed. I soaked them in 91% Isopropyl alcohol and that loosed them up but they re still miss firing but getting better. Umarex said to use silicone on them, safe for plastic. I appreciate your replies they really helped.

The silicone oil is best only on the top of the CO2 cylinder. Some will work into the valve. Shouldn't affect the mag if done this way.

that didn't work for me. Less sealing ability with silicone internally vs Pellgun oil.
