Lubricating your AEG

[jayrod]

I did do a search before posting this but I would like to know. First do I need to Lubricate, how often, where to apply, and what to use? The manual for these guns are of no help with this. From what I have found out I do need to and I should use silicone. Do I spray this in the hop up area and that's good enough? I want to make sure and use something that won't harm plastic.

In the magwell will do it for you, that's all. If you ever open your mechbox though, put some grease in there.

Use silicone, by the way.

Did you check the Upgrades, Doctor's Corner, and FAQ sections? Airsoft gun basic maintenance is already written down.
Where did you search?

Use pure silicone oil, nothing else. How much, where and how is in the guides.

clean out the inner barrel and apply a small amout of silicone lube in it. also lube any moving parts or friction parts. don't overdose the silicone as it will attract dirt and grime. there are many different airsoft guns and the lubing need is different for every gun. IE for a MP5 A5 you have to lube the sliding stock where as the A4 variant you don't. and only put grease in the gear box no oil.

Here are my two guns I need to keep maintianed.

wrong section
search skills need some work because I can find the answers with search in seconds

I prefer to use lithium grease for my gears, silicone spray for my piston. Everytime I open the gun up, or atleast every few months.

Silicone spray the hopup and dranch the barrel before and after every game. Lubing the inner barrel several times a day is nice also. (spray lube in till your sure there is way to much, then run about 30 rounds through it to get the excess lube out...inside is left coated and slightly improves performance.

spermicides are to thick to work properly, and most of the heavily scented or heat activated lubes can do more dammage then good. Anal lubes are often a bad choice also, except "Butt bandit" brand.
In turn, lithium grease, although fun in your fingers, shouldnt be used for sex lube. You would be better of using mayonaise since its "wash out of the cooch" factor is alot more reasonable then lithium greases...that and everyone loves a good tuna-fish sandwich. Silicon spray should also be avoided as a personal lubricant...unless you want your pickle to rot off.
I often recommend against jerkin your gerkin with airsoft guns. Sure, the M203 may look inviting, but sharp edges and propane residue could leave your as flacid as Regis Philbin. Humping your gun may be fun on the field, but when done naked, the cold metal and sharp RIS could shred your spunk blaster. Never use your airsoft gun internally. A G36 flash hider will tear your pooper faster then Michael Jackson. If your hard set to use a gun internally, I suggest softair. Go wild with the BBs though. Its not as entertaining as a ping-pong ball, but the 8mm can be fun. And Never use an AEG or GBB for mansex.

As always, slip and slide, have fun.
