6.2 Firing the Airsoft Gun

- When the magazine is empty, the slide will lock back. Insert a new loaded magazine and press the slide release to continue firing.
Important: Keep hands and fingers clear of the slide's path during operation, as it cycles rapidly.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your airsoft gun.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the inner barrel using a cleaning rod and silicone oil.
- Lubrication: Apply silicone oil to moving parts, especially the slide rails and O-rings, to maintain smooth operation and prevent wear.
- Storage: Store the airsoft gun in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Always remove the CO2 cartridge and magazine before storage.
- CO2 Cartridge Removal: Never leave a pierced CO2 cartridge in the airsoft gun for extended periods, as it can damage the seals.
