A man shopping at the firearms counter got quite the surprise when he came across a product designed to lubricate a gun - only to discover that it is in fact used for something very different.

The hilarious blunder was captured on camera by the stunned shopper who later posted the footage to his Facebook page with the caption: 'I couldn't quite believe this'.

In the clip, Jamie Lee Bracey, who claimed to be shopping in one of the two Florence, Alabama-based Walmart stores, captured his stunned reaction to coming across the product while browsing.

The front of the bottle appeared to show that the product was a firearm accessory but the description on the back proved otherwise

The video shows rows of rifles at the firearms counter of the retail store and hunting accessories when the man brings attention to the gun oil.

He reads the description on the back of the product and is confused to see it is water-based, noting that this could lead to a weapon rusting.

He carries on reading: 'Long-lasting lubrication with easy cleanup. Glycerin and Paraben free. Wetter, lighter feel than silicone,' and says that it sounds as if it would help his gun to work well.

He then says: 'Then I see the 'Ginseng and Guarana to promote blood flow,' and I'm like, 'What?'

Further down the bottle he discovers that the Gun Oil H20 is for 'topical use' and that the user is required to 'apply a desired amount to genital areas.'

Humorously the man says 'boom' before adding: 'They don't even know what they're selling'.

According to TheBlaze, members of staff at both of the Alabama-based stores denied that the product was on sale at their gun counters.

One of the stores added that the product is often mistakenly brought to the sporting goods section of the shop but is returned to the pharmacy area before being displayed.

Since being posted to Facebook the video has received just shy of two million views and users have taken to the social media site to add their comments.

One wrote: 'I think that's the first time I've laughed all day.'

While another said: 'I work in sporting goods at Cloverdale. Other associates leave it at my counter having no idea what it really is. I always have to take it back to pharmacy. It's so deceiving.'
