Taking Care of Your Airsoft Gun

You just bought a new airsoft gun. I’m sure it wasn’t cheap because a good gun isn’t. So you wanna do everything you can to take care of it.
You need to clean the barrel after every day of use. This is very important if you live in dusty or sandy environments. Spray some silicone spray down the barrel and into the hop-up chamber. Use your cleaning tool to clean the inside of the barrel thoroughly.
The magazine needs care as well. For electric and spring airsoft guns, leave the magazine without any bb’s in it. This will keep the spring strong and reliable. For gas airsoft guns, leave the magazine pressurized with gas. This will keep the seals intact. Remember that only green gas has silicone oil in it already. If you are using propane, then you need to add a couple drops of oil to it. Never use the release valve to free any gas as it may freeze the o-ring and damage it.
Battery choice is very important in your electric airsoft rifle. If you use a battery with a higher voltage than recommended, you run the risk of damaging the gear box. If you get a battery that is smaller than recommended, it may not even power the gun. The mAh rating of the battery controls how long the battery will last in one session. The higher the mAh means that the battery will last longer. The lower the mAh means that battery will last a shorter amount of time.
Over time your airsoft rifle or pistol is going to get a little beat up looking. There’s no way around it. It’s gonna get paint chips, cracks and scuffs. I do not recommend touching up every little scratch. This might make your gun look even worse than it did before. The paint might not match perfect. You might not do a great job with the touch up. A lot could go wrong. I can only recommend letting it take it’s course and get scratched up and do a full repainting of the gun when the time comes.
With all this you should be able to keep your airsoft gun working good and looking nice for a very long time.
