Gas or CO2 for airsoft pistols – tips and maintenance

Use the correct gas: Make sure to use the right type of gas (f.eks. Green Gas or CO2) that is suitable for your pistol.
Lubricate the pistol regularly: Use silicone oil to lubricate moving parts to prevent wear and ensure smooth performance.
Avoid overfilling the magazine: Do not fill the magazine with too much gas, as this can damage the valve or seals. Keep gas magazines clean: Clean and lubricate the magazine valves regularly to prevent leaks.
Use gas with silicone: Some gases contain silicone, which helps lubricate the pistol while you use it.
Avoid using CO2 in cold weather: CO2 can be negatively affected by low temperatures and result in inconsistent performance.
Store magazines properly: Keep gas magazines half full when not in use to protect O-rings and seals.Test the shots before the game starts: Fire a few test shots to check that the gas is flowing properly before the game.
Avoid using the pistol in extreme heat: Gas can expand in extreme heat and damage internal parts.
Clean the barrel: Keep the pistol’s barrel clean for better accuracy and performance.
Avoid dry firing (shooting without BBs): Dry firing can damage valves and other internal parts.
Use the right BBs: Just like with AEGs, it’s important to use high-quality BBs to avoid damaging the pistol.
Check for leaks: If you suspect a leak in the magazine, check the valves and use silicone oil to fix minor leaks.
Keep the grip dry: Make sure to keep the pistol’s grip dry for better control.
Let the gun rest after shooting: Give the gun time to cool down after intense shooting, especially in warmer or colder weather.
Store it properly: Keep the gun in a dry and secure place when not in use.
Do not leave gas magazines in the sun: Direct sunlight can increase the pressure inside the magazine, which may damage it.
Avoid using the gun too heavily: Gas guns can be more sensitive to heavy use than AEGs, so handle them with care.
Fill the magazine with the gas bottle upside down: When filling the magazine with gas, hold the bottle upside down until you hear that it is no longer taking in more gas.
Keep the seals in good condition: Regularly lubricate the seals in the magazine with silicone oil, including the bottom, top, and valve.

For gas- and CO2-powered pistols, it’s important to use the right gas, lubricate regularly with silicone oil, and pay attention to temperatures to avoid leaks and damage.
