Safety and Maintenance of Airsoft Guns

Canadian legal airsoft guns have been quite popular of late. With this rise of popularity, the question of safety has come up. There are few things you need to know in order to maintain proper safety measures when using airsoft guns. It's important to clarify that they are not the same as toys. They use BBs and can have a velocity of up to and exceeding 400 FPS. They should only be used in a private environment that is controlled and you should always treat yours like a real firearm. They are also great training tools for Military and Law Enforcement and can be used to teach respect and proper handling of real firearms.

Ensure you are safe when using airsoft guns

Airsoft rifles are not lethal however they can cause damage to the eye and break skin that’s bare. It's critical to have your eye protection on when you are shooting your airsoft guns.

Maintaining Your Airsoft Guns

With Canadian airsoft gun sales on the rise, it's important that those who purchase them know how to maintain them for maximum performance. In Canada, you can find airsoft guns for sale in brick and mortar stores like ours or online at www.HeroOutdoors.com.

In order to ensure that your gun functions properly, here are some things that you can do:

  • Make sure your batteries are full charged before and event or training
  • Inexpensive airsoft guns in Canada are well manufactured and very reliable, but proper care not to drop or bang them off buildings, doorways or other obstacles in your airsoft environment is key. Even high end full metal models need to be properly cared for.
  • Buy BBs of good quality to use with your gun. If you go for low quality BBs they will likely cause damage to the guns barrel and hop-up, or even the gear box. It is important to never reuse your BBs. After firing they may have damage or dirt embedded from impacting the target (or person) that can seriously damage your airsoft rifles internals
  • If you have been firing in full auto for a while, be sure to fire your next few rounds with your gun set on semi-auto so that your piston head can sit forward. This will ensure that your spring is stored in the extended position to reduce wear and tear on your gearbox.
  • Don’t fire on continuous automatic for more than 15 seconds. 3 to 5 round bursts cut down on your guns wear and tear. Of course, full auto can be dangerous in close quarters battle. Be mindful of your fellow players and use full auto only when necessary.
