Want to give yourself an reward while playing airsoft? Well why pay for expensive upgrades or a amend gun when you can take these elementary steps.

Difficulty: Moderately Piece of cake

Instructions

  1. The most important affair in airsoft is accuracy. Information technology doesn't matter if you're shooting long and hard if you don't hit what yous're aiming at. So beginning yous'll want to purchase some decent Bbs. You probably paid a lot for your airsoft gun so spend the extra $2 on high polished, seamless Bbs. Most automatics require high polished ones anyway otherwise they run a high take chances of jamming. If they're seamless they're perfectly round with no holes or seams or annihilation. Being Seamless and high polished volition make them not rub on your butt every bit much on the style out which causes them to fly kleptomaniacal and curve incorrectly. Only WAY more important is that the BBs are balanced evenly on the inside. Ones that are either filled or stamped together with a seam are off residuum and that can cut your accurate range in one-half! The high polished Bbs instead of regular seamless ones just have smoother edges that volition make it slide through your butt faster with less friction to wearisome them down. Also as long as your gun shoots at nigh 240 FPS or faster, use .20 gram BBs unless otherwise specified in the manual or on the box. .12s bend as well quickly in the air with very piffling wind
  2. Now that you're firing ammo that's actually good, you lot may demand to adjust the hop upwards. Usually it's adapted well from the manufactory but information technology's worth playing with. Basically merely observe some cardboard or styrofoam or whatever and draw a tiny black dot on it nigh ane/4 inch wide. And then stand about fifty feet from it with your gun. If it's a pistol maybe motion a niggling closer and some loftier powered rifles may need to fire from farther away. Put the gun in single shot fashion if it'south an automatic and aim directly at the dot y'all drew and fire a shot and so expect and fire again until you've shot like 3-5 shots. Make certain you lot re-aim it perfectly in betwixt shots, especially if the gun kicks dorsum.
  3. If all your shots missed the dot in 3 different directions then it's likely your airsoft gun merely isn't very accurate or y'all're still using depression quality, unbalanced Bbs. If y'all were abroad from the black dot but in the same management like all iii shots fabricated holes above the black dot, you were either aiming incorrectly or you lot'll need to suit the hop up one mode or another. The best fashion to tell which is the instance is to try to watch the BBs while they're flying on the way to the target. If they go straight, yous're good. If they curve every bit they fly, that's what's causing the inconsistency. If yous tin can't tell, brand sure your scope or other aiming device isn't kleptomaniacal though and that you're not making whatever aiming mistakes. If you know information technology's the gun'southward hop up causing the problem though, near have a slider for hop up adjustment so just pick a direction and redo the test and if information technology gets closer to the dot, go along moving information technology until you hit right effectually the dot without a lot of the BBs curving way off path.
  4. An alternate manner of adjusting your airsoft gun'due south hop up is to purchase some .xx gram, high shine, seamless, glow in the nighttime Bulletin board system. Don't get the .12's, they don't hold enough light for long plenty. First expect until it'southward dark outside so head to a wide open infinite like a field. If you have an open magazine that exposes the jump and the BBs, take out the magazine and shine a bright flashlight every bit close every bit possible upward and down the row of Bbs to glow them up and then quickly load the magazine back into the gun and fire them level with the ground as if you were aiming at a person. Watch the glowing Bulletin board system carefully to see about how far they go before they curve and fly in a completely different direction. Arrange the hop up lower and lower until the BB starts to drop down instead of curving off in a crazy direction. If yous can't get your gun to exercise that, as not all will be capable of it, only adjust it until it curves as far out as possible. One of my airsoft pistols directly from the factory only got virtually 30 feet before curving at a severe bending. I could almost fire effectually a corner with the thing it was then abrupt. But later adjusting information technology, it remained directly out to a niggling over 60 feet. Also, if you lot switch the weight of your ammo from .20g to .25g for instance, you'll definitely take to re-adjust your hop up.
  5. And then at present that your airsoft gun is properly adjusted and firing proficient Bbs for optimum accuracy and speed, you lot should probably have the one extra step and get some silicone airsoft gun lube. You lot just spray it down the barrel and it lubricates it with a thin layer of silicone and so that passing Bulletin board system accept way less friction. Technically you should practice this before adjusting your hop upward just it shouldn't affect information technology too much. Plastic sliding against not very well polished metal is a friction nightmare and then you lot can seriously add together around 30+ FPS to an airsoft gun by lubing the barrel. Do use airsoft gun lubricant, not just any hardware store silicone lubricant because it might have additives that volition damage many of the internal parts. They almost all contain propane distillates that will dissolve plastic and plow it white and you lot don't want that happening to your gun. Once yous've done this, the Bbs will come out straighter and much faster because they cruised past any microscopic bumps on the inside of the barrel. 1 coating should final hours but do reapply it if your guns have been sitting for weeks since the final time yous applied it.
  6. And finally, you can upgrade springs but this is risky and not always very effective. On all airsoft guns with springs, information technology can wear out the parts similar the air sleeping accommodation where the piston moves because it's non used to a college pressure. On manual bound guns, it tin can wear out other parts similar the slide because of the higher force required to pull information technology dorsum. On automatics information technology can cause a lower rate of burn and will definitely wear out the motor faster considering information technology has to work harder to pull back the bound. In some cases the whole matter won't exist able to function with the new, harder to pull back spring. Commonly companies put the highest powered spring they tin can in for the motor's power rating to get the highest FPS without overloading the motor and so whatsoever thicker, tougher springs may intermission the motor. Also merely taking apart some airsoft guns risks breaking sure parts of them. And so in general, I wouldn't recommend upgrading the springs unless you're a existent run a risk taker.
