Maintenance

Regular cleaning helps maintain the performance and longevity of your airsoft pistol. After each use, especially if used in dusty or dirty environments, wipe down the exterior with a clean, dry cloth. For internal cleaning, refer to specialized airsoft cleaning guides or consult a professional. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
