When you are a gun owner you know that you need to clean your guns after every use, right? Well AirSoft guns are no different. When using AirSoft guns, whether using for target practice, gaming, or fun play, you need to make sure that you tend to it as if it were a real gun. Here are some tips to get this done:
1) Why keep your AirSoft gun clean?
Enhanced performance
Maintain/increase accuracy
Reduced jamming
Faster shooting
2) First thing to do before doing any maintenance on your gun is to remove the power source. You will do one of the following:
Dry shoot to confirm it’s not cocked-spring action guns
Remove battery pack-electric guns, or
Disconnect CO2 tank-pressurized gas guns
There is no excuse to not take a few extra minutes to handle your airsoft gun in a safe manner. Take your time and be safe!
Clean the exterior of the airsoft gun:
Wipe clean with a clean non-abrasive cloth
Use cotton swabs for crevices and hard to reach areas.
Clean the magazine of the airsoft gun:
Remove magazine
Clean the magazine the same as the exterior
All moving parts should have a drop of oil added
Replace magazine
Clean the barrel of the airsoft gun:
Turn of hop up system on gun
Spray a .22 cleaning patch with silicone
With patch on rod, insert in into barrel to clean
Use an in and out motion
Swab barrel 3-4 times

When patches come out clean after dry swabbing, you are finished!
Hint- There are gun-cleaning kits available.
After cleaning your gun, be sure to have a few trial shots before going out on the field to play. After cleaning, your gun may perform better and you don’t want to wait to find out in the field after a few bad shots that you need to adjust your shooting!
