🛠 Tips and maintenance of airsoft and air guns – Gas/CO₂
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your gas or CO₂ powered airsoft and air guns, regular maintenance is essential. Here is a simple checklist to keep your weapon in top condition:
✅ Maintenance tips
- Empty the gas tank before storage.
Avoid leaving gas or CO₂ in the magazine when the weapon is not in use. This can prevent seals from drying out or cracking. - Always use new BBs or pellets
Reusing bullets can lead to deformations that can damage the weapon's internal mechanisms. - Lubricate moving parts regularly
After approximately 500 shots, apply 100% silicone oil to moving parts and contact surfaces, including the magazine. This will reduce wear and prevent leaks. - Use the right gas with built-in lubrication
For gas guns, gas containing silicone oil is recommended, which lubricates the gun during use. For CO₂ guns, use cleaning cartridges at regular intervals to lubricate and maintain seals from the inside.
❌ Avoid these mistakes
- Use of incorrect lubricants
Avoid lubricants that are not 100% silicone-based, such as WD-40, as these can damage gaskets and O-rings. - Reuse of bullets
Reused bullets may have microscopic damage that can lead to blockages or damage to the weapon.
🧰 Recommended maintenance equipment
- Silicone oil: For lubrication of moving parts.
- Cleaning cartridges: For CO₂ guns, use cleaning cartridges after approximately 9 regular cartridges.
- Cleaning swabs and cloths: For cleaning the barrel.
