How do I know how to Properly Take care of an airsoft gun?

a) I was just going to throw it in the back seat of my car
b) I know that it must be cleaned after every time you use it
c) Clean? I don’t clean my room, why would I clean my gun?

The correct answer is “B”. The gun must be cleaned after every engagement you use it. This will make sure it stays in working order for a long time to come. If you neglect your gun, it may actually cause you injury, such as if the CO2 becomes jammed, it might explode. Plus, these are not exactly cheap toys, they do cost a little money, but can be tons of fun if used right, and are taken care of.

I have never used an airsoft gun, I think I will start with:

a) I was going to start with the basic pistol
b) Machine gun baby!
c) I want a sniper rifle. BOOM HEAD SHOT!

The correct answer would be “A”. It is always better to start out at the bottom before you move on to more advanced weaponry. Once you get the handle of it, you can move on to the automatic machine gun, or the single shot, spring loaded sniper rifle. But I must worn you, it is not a good idea to aim for the head of a target, aim for center mass, this will give you a better chance to hit, and it will not pose a risk to your friend.
