Maintenance of Gas-Powered AIRSOFT Replica Weapons: How to Keep Your Weapon in Top Condition

Gas-powered replica weapons provide an authentic feel and impressive performance for AIRSOFT-enthusiasts. To ensure that your gas-powered weapon operates optimally and has a long lifespan, proper maintenance is absolutely essential. In this article, we will go through some important tips for maintaining gas-powered AIRSOFT-replica weapons, as well as recommend some products that will help you keep your weapon in top condition.

1. Keep the Weapon Clean

Gas-powered replica weapons can easily accumulate dust, dirt, and grease after use. This can affect performance and lead to unwanted wear over time. Regular cleaning is therefore important to prevent dirt and grime from accumulating in the mechanics.

A good start is to use Ultrair Degreaser Spray. This spray effectively removes oil, grease, and other impurities without damaging the parts.It's especially useful after intense use or when the weapon has been exposed to dusty environments.

2. Lubrication is the Key to Longevity

To maintain smooth operation and reduce wear on moving parts, proper lubrication is crucial. Gas-powered weapons have many internal moving parts that need proper maintenance.

Silicone spray with spray cap is perfect for this purpose. Silicone spray is especially well-suited for lubricating O-rings and other sensitive parts that require lubrication without damaging plastic or rubber. It's important to apply a thin layer of silicone spray after each use to keep seals and mechanical parts in good condition.

3. Maintenance of Exhaust Valves and Gas Mechanics

Gas-powered weapons rely on tight valves to maintain proper pressure.Dry or damaged valves can lead to leaks and reduced performance. To avoid this, you should use Point Grease Set, which is a set of grease specifically developed for AIRSOFTs. This set allows for precise application of grease on critical components, such as valves and seals, preventing leaks and ensuring reliable function.

4. Storage and Transport of the Weapon

When the weapon is not in use, it's important to store it safely to avoid damage and wear. A good storage solution protects the weapon against shocks and moisture, which can damage internal components and external finish.

For your maintenance equipment, we recommend Service Case Cordura Coyote.This storage bag is made of durable Cordura fabric and provides good protection, it's small and light and will also serve as a maintenance area in the field where you can perform cleaning and repairs while keeping track of all small parts and equipment.

5. Should the magazine be stored with pressure/gas in it?

This depends on whether you have a magazine that uses AIRSOFTgas or 12g Co2 cartridges.

- AIRSOFTgas: Yes, leave a little pressure in the magazine before storing it. These magazines need some pressure when they are stored.
- 12g Co2 cartridges: No, always remove the cartridge when you're done shooting. If the cartridge is left in, even just for a short time like overnight for example, this can be enough to damage seals and cause leaks.

Summary

Maintenance of gas-powered replica weapons is about small, regular routines that can save you a lot of frustration and money in the long run. By using the right lubricants, keeping the weapon clean, and storing it safely, you can significantly extend the lifespan and performance of your weapon.
