You can use that, Dow 33 (Shocker Lube), or any of the 10 billion synthetic greases marketed under various paintball company names. Personally, my favorite grease is Super Lube. It's completely synthetic, clear, odorless, thick, with PTFE (Teflon). Works awesome. Might not be available in the UK though.

I though shocker lube was Dow 33 and timmy lube Dow 55?

Dow 33 is very good (points in Dskizes direction) or hater sause is supposed to be very good for dm/pm even lets you drop your lpr an extra wee bit.

cool thanks a lot for that and whats the wrong type to use ??? :p because i don't want that to happen
Nothing petroleum based or petroleum thickened would be preferable. That means no Vaseline, 3-in-1, duck oil, motor oil, white lithium grease, et al. Depending on the o-ring material, those can cause o-rings to crack, dry out, swell, and other nasty things that o-rings shouldn't be doing when they're working properly. Synthetic grease will be more consistent and contain fewer impurities anyway, so it's the best bet.
