let's see what people say about this rifle:

Airsoft Lubrication

One of the most commonly asked questions in reference to maintaining an airsoft electric gun (AEG) concerns airsoft lubrication. For the purpose of this discussion we will focus on three common areas of an airsoft gun that need lubrication. The three airsoft lubrication areas are: Barrel & Hop Up, Gearbox, and external parts.

Barrel and Hop Up:This is the part of the gun that needs frequent airsoft lubrication. BBs moving through the hop up and out the barrel produce wear, requiring periodic airsoft gun lubrication. The rule of thumb for lubrication of the hop up and barrel is once every 4000-5000 airsoft rounds. Additionally, if your airsoft gun has been in storage for 6 months or more, you’ll want to lubricate it as the airsoft hop up rubber dries out during long periods of non-use.

How to lubricate the barrel and hop up:The key here is lubricating sparingly; a little airsoft lubricant goes a long way. Using silicone airsoft ubricant (see airsoft lubricant discussion below), spray a quick, 1-second burst down the barrel and a quick burst into the BB feed point. Wipe up any excess. Allow it to penetrate for a few minutes and then fire a few BB to blow the excess out the barrel. It’s worth noting that the first 100 or so airsoft rounds you fire after silicone lubrication will be very inaccurate. This is due to the excess airsoft lubricant clinging to the BBs and causing variations to weight and airflow.

Gearbox:This it probably the most difficult airsoft lubrication task, because it involves opening up the complex gearbox. If you are not comfortable with airsoft gearbox maintenance take your gun to your local airsoft service center. As a rule of thumb you should lubricate your gearbox before using it for the first time. Airsoft manufacturers tend to use too much grease when building their gearboxes. It is a good practice to clean out that excess grease and lube it properly. Future airsoft lubrication of the gearbox should be once every 30,000-40,000 BBs. Don’t wait until your gearbox starts making noise or performance fails as that is a sign that gearbox damage may have happened already.

How to lubricate the Airsoft Gearbox:You’ll have to tear down your airsoft gun and disassemble the gear box to do this. Airsoft lubricants required are silicone Gel and white lithium grease. A good number of tutorials can be found by doing a goggle search for “airsoft gearbox lubrication”. You’ll find both videos and picture guided tutorials. Refer to those references for a how to guide. Just make sure you remove all the old grease and dirt before lubricating your airsoft gearbox. Also, make sure you do not use too much grease; it attracts dirt which causes excessive friction and heat (both damaging to moving parts).

External parts:Most Airsoft Electric Guns have a number of external moving parts that need cleaning and lubrication. A good list of external parts is: folding stock hinges, M4 dust cover hinges, site adjustment points, and any other moving parts. The best rule of thumb is to clean and lubricate these points after every skirmish. Dirt is your enemy here.

How to lubricate external airsoft parts:A small tooth brush, a rag, canned air and airsoft silicone lubricant are all you’ll need to do this. Clean the moving part lightly with a tooth brush to loosen dirt and debris. Use the canned air to blow away the debris and dirt. Use the rag to wipe up any excess debris or moisture. Using airsoft safe lubricant, spray a small amount on the moving part, hinge, spring, etc. Wipe up any excess.

Airsoft Silicone Lubricant

This is the single most important item for safe and effective airsoft lubrication. Only use pure silicone labeled for use on airsoft guns. Airsoft safe lubricants use non-petroleum based, inert propellants that will not harm the rubber and plastic parts on your airsoft gun. Most of the silicone lubricants you get from the hardware store contain petroleum products or Hexane as a propellant. These compounds will eat the rubber on your hop up and can stain or weaken the plastic parts on your airsoft gun. Never use WD-40 or similar products. Your gun will quickly become junk from the compounds in these products if you use them. Check with your airsoft dealer for the airsoft safe lubrication they carry or recommend.

Airsoft guns, like any mechanical device are prone to heat and friction which cause wear. While you cannot prevent eventual failure of mechanical devices over time, you can take steps to reduce wear and get the most life out of your airsoft gun as possible. A proper maintenance program that includes regular airsoft lubrication is the key to getting the most out of your airsoft gun.

The Art Of Being An Airsoft Sniper

As the sport of Airsoft continues its surge in worldwide popularity, the number of Airsoft teams and clubs continue to climb as well. These dedicated groups gather as weekend warriors at outdoor venues to participate in sophisticated war games. Dressed in military like fatigues, and armed with replica Airsoft guns, these teams engage in simulated military battles commonly referred to as the Mil-Sim (military simulation).

Of all the role players one can choose to be in these weekend battles, perhaps the most popular of all is the “Sniper”. The Airsoft Sniper is often referred to as the Lone Wolf or Rouge of Airsoft. This is the gamer that wants to place himself in the perfect hidden location in order to eliminate the opposing players in a deadly ambush. Although a popular identity among Airsoft warriors, few players have mastered the skill of becoming a feared and effective “Super Sniper”.

The first step in becoming a successful Super Sniper begins with having the right equipment! This begins by choosing the Sniper’s most important accessory-the sniper rifle like 4X32mm Range Estimating A.O. Full Size Master Sniper Scope. The goal of the Sniper is to be able to shoot the enemy from long distances, therefore his rifle does not need to be fully automatic or even semi-automatic. A well built spring–action rifle is usually the choice. The spring sniper rifle must be one of the more powerful models in order to shoot from long distances with great accuracy. It is also important to keep in mind that the most powerful weapon the Sniper has is his stealth or the ability to stay hidden. The spring action sniper rifles are much quieter than the electric automatic rifles.

One of the most recommended!!! spring sniper rifles is the WELL L96 AWP Spring Airsoft Sniper Rifle, which is widely recognized as one of the premier manufacturers of spring guns.

Perhaps the next most important piece of equipment for the secretive Super Sniper is his riflescope. The ability to see long distances with accuracy is critical to his success. Often the original equipment scope does not fulfill this requirement and an upgrade is needed. A minimum 4x32 power scope is the desired measure.

The successful Sniper has also mastered the art of military camouflage. Without proper clothing the Sniper is doomed to failure. It is essential for him to be undetected by the opposing teams. Investing in a “ghillie” or camouflage suit Ghillie Rifle Wrap is critical to maximum concealment from enemy patrols and other snipers. This suit is made from a central binding layer and loose strips of material designed to break up the shape of the human body. Super Snipers typically customize their suits by adding plant-matter or rolling in the dirt or mud in order to deaden color contrasts. With the potential for wearing this suit a long time during battles, comfort is a premium.

One of the great mistakes of the amateur sniper is running out of ammunition. As simple as this may seem, this is a common mishap due to the underestimated length of many Airsoft skirmishes. Many a sniper meets his demise as he emerges prematurely from his secret hideout at the most inopportune time in order to retrieve more pellets. You will always find the wise Super Sniper well stocked with plenty of ammo!

Understanding the role and choosing the right equipment will help the Airsoft warrior to be well on his way to becoming a Super Sniper.
