How To Prevent Your Airsoft Gun From Breaking
Welcome! We are going to discuss ways to prevent airsoft products from breaking and the most common ways they break. Our goal is to help our buyers understand the care and maintance needed with your airsoft purchase! Most airsoft guns stop working properly or at all due to owner mistreatment or under treatment.
What Not To Do:
- AEG's are not built for long continues shooting just like a real gun it will overheat and cause damage (usually resulting in a grinding noise). Keep intervals to 4-6 second burst to prevent any complication.
- Never us a gun for the first time with out fully charging battery first
- Never charge an airsoft battery over RECOMMENDED TIME! (see below for recommended time)
- Never continue to charge a battery that has gotten warm or hot.
- Never leave batteries in an airsoft gun when finished using.
- Never use a battery in a airsoft product that has been over heated or is not in perfect condition!
- If the gun gets jammed do not try to fire again! You must unjam the gun first or it will break!
- Never use anything but seemless high grade perfectly round ammo. The barrels are made tight and exact any other ammo will jam or break your gun.
- Never fire an airsoft gun that has a broken paintball in it! You must clean the barrel and chamber first or it will break.
- Never load your magazine over 80% capacity or the spring will eventually loosen and not work properly and/or could pop out.
- Never take apart your gun unless you absolutely know what your doing! Take it to your local shop for any maintenance.
- Never force a trigger. If it's not pulling easily, check for jams or take it to you local shop.
- Never drop your gun.
- Never get any part of your gun wet.

- Use a electrical outlet timer (just like ones used with chrismas lights on a house) to charge your batteries. See below for charging times.
- Airsoft Gears, Motors, Ect. are made to run at certain speed so only use your gun with charged batteries. If you can tell gun is wearing down take battery out and charge do not keep shooting
- Turn Hop Up all the way off before firing for the first time, than adjust slowly as needed. Most people make mistake turning all the way up which can result in none firing or frequent jams.
- Use slick seemless high grade 6mm round ammo only!
- For upgrades or any internal work have it done by a professional only!
- Do not use upgrades on guns that do not have metal gear boxes.
- Check to make sure no screws or other fasteners have come loose.
- Make sure to lubricate and oil your gun regularly and properly to keep it working in top condition.
- If you are using a spring airsoft gun make sure its fully cocked back every time.
- If your AEG gun is not working and there is no problems with battery try replacing the fuse.
- Always clean your airsoft gun after each use.
