The main gun shoots bb with no distance and low speed

Post by leopardgreece »

Hallo to everybody. I clean the Leopard2A6 barrel out of the airsoft unit. I put in it some WD40 oil and after some minutes i tried to shoot . The bb bullets dont come out with speed , too low speed and distance. Does it cause the problem the WD40 oil ? Should i wait to get dry and try again ?

It could very well be the oil. There's a little Rubber seal that acts like a chamber for the Airsoft BB and the unit places the BB in that little Rubber seal before it releases the air burst.. If that seal is oily or too loose, you won't get much distance and it will act just the way you're saying that yours is.

A little alcohol on a q-tip, maybe? You'll have to pull the barrel out to get at the seal. The oil may have done permanent damage, though. I usually have a couple spares on hand, since they're only ten bucks. Whenever I need to add a couple bucks to get free shipping I pick up an airsoft unit or a smoker. They've come in handy on many occasions.
