Answer 1

Answer 2

ok.. I'll be the 5th to answer, the first who has any apparent knowlege on how to clean a airsoft gun.. go figure.

What you need to do (stated for AEG) is first make sure you gun is unloaded., remove the mag then dry fire it a few times. A bb left in the chamber that accidently fires will hurts as much or more then one you ment to (also applies for real firearms). After being sure your gun is empty use some gun cleaning patches (or thin pieces of cotton) and spray them down with sillicon (100% pure sillicon). put them through the loop (or eye) on your cleaning rod. After turning the hop- up all the way off just run the patch though (if you are using a makeshift cleaning rod then first measure it to where you're hop up is and subtract a small amount) to the mark on the cleaning rod.

repeat until patch is clean.

then you will have to re set you're hop up and fire it some before all the sillicon has spread evenly and you have consistant shots again.

With gas or spring guns adapt as needed.

I would like to also note: Although it isn't BAD for the gun to be thrown in the river.. its not good for it either. And also please practice common sense and fire in a actually airsoft field.

Answer 3

Try a can of Duster, available at office supply stores, or an air compressor and spray out the inside, otherwise you'll have to field strip it. And an airsoft gun is not an AK-47, no matter what it looks like its still an airsoft gun. Which I don't see any appeal in but hey, to each his own.
