How to achieve the maximum possible service life of airsoft guns?
Wednesday, 06 September 2023
Airsoft guns have a completely different design and are made of different materials than real firearms. They do not have to be made of such high quality and durable materials, as their projectile energy is usually only a few Joules, whereas the projectile energy of regular firearms is from the tens to hundreds of Joules. How to make your airsoft gun last as long as possible?
ABOUT THE SERVICE LIFE IN GENERAL
Airsoft guns have a service life from hundreds to thousands of fired pellets (cal. 6 mm BB), depending on the class and quality of the airsoft gun. The most basic and cheapest versions of airsoft guns have a lifespan of a few hundred pellets, whereas e.g. proline versions have a lifespan of a few thousand pellets, but such versions range in price from several hundred Euros. Anyway, durability is not a synonym of a two-year warranty period. A young beginner who receives his first airsoft gun from the cheapest class as a gift is able to shoot several hundred pellets in a single weekend, and therefore one should not be surprised if something goes wrong with such an airsoft gun, because the expected durability of the internal parts has already been reached and the service life has been consumed. In the following paragraphs we will give you some advice on how to operate and maintain manual (ASG), gas (CO2) and electric (AEG) airsoft guns, or possibly where their owners most often make mistakes.
MANUAL AIRSOFT GUNS (ASG)
They represent the most basic type of weapons with the simplest design and principle of operation. They must always be reloaded before the first shot is fired. The movement or speed of loading should be neither too slow nor too fast (rough). The pellets are most often jammed inside the mechanism if the manual airsoft gun is loaded by a child who does not yet have enough strength, or if it is loaded by a person in the wrong way (very slowly or by the wrong part). Conversely, a very fast to rough loading can break internal parts and mechanisms. We recommend using silicone oil to lubricate the moving parts to eliminate unwanted friction and resistance.
GAS AIRSOFT GUNS (CO2)
They work by using compressed carbon dioxide contained in a cartridge. The most common problem faced by owners of such versions of airsoft guns is leaking construction due to damaged seals. Damage to the seals most often occurs due to owners leaving the cartridge in the gun for long period of time, thus exposing the seals to disproportionate stress. As a rule of thumb, insert the cartridge, shoot off the pressure, and put the gun away or store it without the cartridge. An oil-infused cartridge is used to treat the seals, which also lubricates the moving parts.
ELECTRIC AIRSOFT GUNS (AEG)
Electric airsoft guns are perhaps the most complicated in terms of internal design. Always use the batteries recommended by the gun manufacturer, most importantly do not exceed the recommended operating voltage which could damage the motor or other electrical components. Particularly in the summer heat, do not shoot in full-auto mode continuously, as the motor, battery and other components can overheat and become damaged. Special oils and petroleum greases are used for the internal parts of electric airsoft guns. If you don't dare to disassemble your gun, entrust such maintenance to experienced ones.
GENERAL ADVICE AT THE END
Always read the instruction manual with all safety instructions and warnings thoroughly; this is the basic principle to follow. Manufacturer and dealer manuals provide a number of useful information on how to prevent or solve problems. Unfortunately, many times owners of new airsoft guns only start to read the instructions after a problem has already occurred.
As already hinted in the introduction, airsoft guns are not made of as durable materials as proper firearms, so they need to be handled with this in mind. Every airsoft gun is fragile in its own way and should be handled appropriately, not thrown in the mud or on the ground, should not be used for smashing something with it like a real soldier somewhere on the front lines.
