Not being a tech, please keep these video going I could definitely learn a few things please and thank you
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR LIPOS FULLY CHARGED. If you have a LiPo charge, there is a storage charge function on most chargers. You want to make sure your lipo battery sits at around 3.8v per cell if you arent using it often.
Mines doesnt
I come from quad fpv flying where we use lipos as well and everyone there is very strict on how to manipulate lipos. It is fascinating for me how clueless people in airsoft are when it comes to lipos. Im not even talking here about little Timmy who just bought his first AEG. Its these youtube guys that are making a living off airsoft.
Kids, DO NOT store your batteries fully charged. They will go bad way faster than they should. Also if your battery is a little puffy, get rid of it. Buy a new one. Lipos can burst into flames pretty easy if mistreated.
@@georgemocanu1597 What do you mean by store? Store can either mean leave it for 1 day or a month+
@@ExoGhost in my personal view if you dont use the battery for more than 1-2 weeks, you should put it on storage
If you want to burn your house down and die a painful death, then keep your Lipos full when stored.
If you clean a barrel with silicone, you'll get it on the bucking and that'll make it extremely slippery.. making hopup less effective for many hundreds of shots, it can also give double feed problems as well.. wiping it clean won't get rid of it.. try a spray of silicone on a bit of plastic, now try to rub it off ! .. it'll still be slippery.. silicone is a harmless to rubber lubricant.. so why would you get it anywhere near a hopup which works on friction?
Just one thing about lipos, I do a lot of stuff with quadcopters, so use lipos a lot, and if storing for long periods it's not recommended you store them full. Storage charge is considered to be about 58% charge level, and most dedicated lipo chargers will have a "storage" mode. Just noticed some others made the same comment before.
Just got back into airsoft so my lipo sat for a few months dead so it's most likely screwed 😩 I have spares thankfully one less now
Yep lipos need to be at storage voltage. Not fully charged. Though I'm sure these aren't going to notice voltage sag like we do
Is it bad that I haven’t cleaned my aeg for 4 years
Eh, should be fine
I haven't cleaned mine since i got it bc i dont wanna mess it up lol. But im wanting to. Its been 4 months by now
CRUSTY
Same lmaoo I got an sr25k and still works perfectly well. I clean the barrel that's about it 😭😂 but other than that its fine except the selector switch doesn't work 😐 its on full auto all the time.
Lol same my first Airsoft gun still works just fine no cleaning ever!
So glad I've subscribed, I love this dude, hes hilarious very entertaining videos guys!
This is SUPER helpful as a beginner. Thanks a bunch guys!
Bought my Arisaka a few years ago and I’ve never really taken the time to properly take it apart and clean/oil it and I suppose it’s time I do that due to the regular abuse it goes through, regardless of the fact that it’s never failed me
If you don't want to use old tshirt material or homemade paper towel swabs to clean your barrel, i found that 22 caliber rifle cleaning swabs that you can buy for real stead cleaning fit perfectly.
Kevin playing outside!!! Mind BLOWN!!!🤯🤯🤯
Legitimately helpful never seen this advice anywhere which seems completely absurd.
P.S. You can get a li-po alarm and put it on all battery's that your not using so when it drops to a "Charge now or soon it will get dangerous" level it will beep like crazy. Also a set of like 5 of them are 10-15 euro/dollars.
Swiffer duster pads for exterior cleaning.
My thoughts exactly
TY For the video long long time paintballer, going to get into some indoors stuff here soon as a new field is opening :) Thanks for the tips and tricks
Bro this is rlly helpful please keep it up
Play an airsoft for 2 years now haven't cleaned my AEG yet thank you for this video
I love how the intro was both my near exact scenario and same internal voice
Love the energy!
Li-Pos should be stored at 50% not fully charged. Alot of decent chargers have a "storage charge" function. That brings it to the proper storage voltage.
Li-Pos degrade over time, they degrade the most at fully charged and fully deleted. And the least at aprox 50%
I think he is talking about NI-MH batteries.
I can confirm that he is 100% correct on this
definitely would have helped to know this when I got my first AEG a few years ago, guess I'm doing a full teardown and seeing what else may need replaced or repaired other than ordering a replacement charging handle spring
Great video thanks
I laughed my arse off and got educated, doesn't get much better than that. Excellent vid, thank you. 🤣👍😂
I haven`t cleaned my Cybergun MP 40 for 13 years, but still works pretty well...
Ayo wtf
same, ive had my M4 fer two and a half almost three years, never cleaned it once. Ive actually never even got into the enternals... I should prob clean it
Where is part 2? Just bought a m4 just want to know how to disassemble it to clean it properly..love to videos gents keep up the amazing work 👊🏻👊🏻
Finally. Thanks
I am such a noob. I really needed this.
I haven't cleaned my aeg in 2 years and some two dozen games, all outdoor. Probably should get that sorted out lmao
this helped sssssssooooo much
The AEG I just bought off a neighbor has been collecting dust for about 18 years. So I think it may be time for a clean.
I enjoyed learning with you guys. Very funny 👏😂
"But the majority of you will run M4s"
Me: Doesn't run an M4
"Oh no..."
Please make a maintenance video about the Arcturus ak
DING DONG GUESS WHO'S IN WITH THE PROGRAM BABY!!!
i like watching this guy for sum reason lol
subscribed for the beat downs.
Awesome vid! Could you explain how to shim gears in a video?
TheAirsoftTech has a great video on that.
I dont do airsoft but its just satisfying
0:32 Small voice crack😂
Probably!🤣 I don’t really pay attention to that lol
Yes
Good vid
Yikes. Ok, so this is pretty good, but there's some issues here.
1) LiPOs want to sit at roughly 50% charge if they're being stored. Full can cause issues as can empty.
2) For the love of GOD do not use silicone oil to clean your barrel. You don't need that to clean it out and even if you're ultra careful, you can get silicone oil bleeding into the bucking and it'll swell. This will lead to jamming and the bucking possibly ripping. Just use clean cotton and, if absolutely necessary, a little bit of Isopropyl. But be careful and only use it if the dry cloth doesn't work.
Alcohol will eventually eat through the bucking. It's the same amount of risk if you use oil. Just be careful when cleaning the barrel
For most people, they will not have an expensive charger that can read exact % levels. Keeping the batteries fully charged will maximize the life of the battery. Storing it at that % will be great if you plan on storing for an extended period of time. However, we are assuming the average player will go out once a month 😉
Also we recommend using silicone oil because it will help lift the dirt off of the inner barrel. @bersek972 is correct. Alcohol is actually more damaging to the bucking than silicone oil. If you follow our steps, it will remove all of the excess oil and allow the bucking just enough oil to stay hydrated. Cleaning the inner barrel dry can work, but you do have a higher risk of scratching the inner barrel with the debris that is trapped inside. Also if the debris is caked on, cleaning it dry wont help.
@@airsoftgi That's fair on the battery, but I expect people aren't fully draining their batteries so they'll probably be closer to 50% than 0.
As for the barrels, if they're actually full on dirty, yeah, you're gonna want to use a solvent of some sort. But at the same time, those solvents aren't just going to make the dirt disappear, so it'd scratch regardless. At that point, you should pull the barrel and run a solvent through it to flush the dirt with no friction or abrasion. For dust and whatever else gets on a barrel normally, a clean cloth should be more than enough.
And on the topic of alcohol vs silicone, no. Silicone oil and isopropyl will both soak into a bucking, but the difference is that silicone doesn't come out nearly as easily and will actually begin to break down the silicone polymer versus isopropyl which will not cause the polymer structure to break down and will evaporate out much quicker.
But ideally, you would not have to use either. Just some clean cloth and a little patience.
@@airsoftgi Even for only a month, or even a few days, a lipo shouldn't be stored fully charged. Anyone using lipo batteries should have a balance charger and a lipo checker to read the voltages.
Alcohol is not good for your bucking. I know that for personal experience. It will dry the rubber and won't seal having a major leakage and awful performance.
If you clean with alcohol, lube the bucking immediately after.
I haven't maintained my elitefore cqb since 2016-2017 ish and it still shoots
honestly you don't really need to do most of what he says. You really only need to clean like this about 1 or 2 times a year, unless you have a 1000$ gun there's no need for it. Its just a time and money waster.
Oh Mai Gad! I “was” going to use WD-40 on My Airsoft guns. Thank You Very, VERY Much.🙏🏼 you saved mai airsoft guns.
I wouldn’t clean my inner barrel with silicone spray. Just use a airsoft degreasing spray or some isopropyl alcohol
Will we get a GBB maintenance video? Just wondering, because I want to get into GBBRs and would like a list of the dos and dont's.
Tip that no one tells you about batteries LiPo's are stored half way charges and NIMH are stored dead. And buy a Multi Charger. (Hint: they have multiple charging settings) Trust me
I use them 24/7 they're so good. Now I have no idea if anyone knows this or not but here ya go!
Doesn't getting silicone oil on the hop up rubber/patch make the performance inconsistent?
yup.. that intro sure woke me up..
This will be the first time doing everything you shared in this video. I have a R-hop set up. You mention that there’s a risk of ripping out the patch. What do I need to do to make sure that doesn’t happen?
Nowdays I spend more time gunsmithing than shooting. The last pistol I bought I changed a half dozen parts before I realised I hadn't even test fired it yet. 😁
i broke my guns in order to clean them almost...i wish they were not that expensive, so i dont have to worry about waisting money in order to clean them...
YES DRILL INSTRUCTOR CISCO
1:32 how did you get my gun
Cisco: magic
with the fabric for the barrel... why not just use barrel swabs from a gun cleaning kit found in the gun section of any major store?
Can you guys revisit the echo 1 red star ak 74 and take it apart and clean it.
I keep forgetting to clean my inner barrel. I gotta remember to do that lmao
Lmao this dudes funny 🤘🏼
How to clean your Aeg. *Just Cleans Barrel* 😂 hey well okay ive been doing great than just haven't fully taken it apart yet
Watching from the UK.
Have the L85A3 assault rifle I’ve stripped and cleaned, my question is regarding the piston. My gun is 3 weeks old and yet there is a terrible piston seal... any thoughts?
Cisco... I dont want to contradict you... But isnt true that is better to avoid lubricant on your barrel and hopup bucking since can mess with the friction applied on the bb by the hopup?
Gun hits a teable😁
Pulling the dirt back through the barrel leaves dirt in the barrel. Push the cleaning rod all the way through the barrel.
Lipos have a storage voltage. Do not keep them at full charge. It's not good for the battery
Uhh the thing about spring pressure, they only weaken from being compressed to being uncompressed constantly. It's the constant change in pressure that weakens them.
The constant pressure on the piston and gears can cause issues over time. Especially if the piston is a poly or plastic with no metal teeth.
You don't leave lipo batteries fully charged for more than a week, you need to put them in a storage mode, a storage mode means about 3.75V/cell, most Lipo chargers have a storage mode that will sort this out.
Lipo batteries left fully charged for some time lose their life and they will not last long.
Hi there mate,
ive repaired and upgraded my unit and i havent used it for like 2 years (since the last time i upgraded it), what should i do before i get back on pew pew ?
cheers mate 🍻
A spring being compressed does not effect the life, use of a spring causes wear. Lipos should be charged to a stlrage charge if you plan on prolonged storage, most decent chargers (for RC) have a storage setting.
Can you put silicon oil in your guns gearbox if it has a Perun mosfit or will that damage the mosfit.
What are the advantages of Silicon vs CLP/Rem oil in the barrel?
Also, cuz I'm a Lazy bastid, I'm tempted to use my 5.56 Bore Snake, but I'm afraid the copper bristles may damage the inner smooth bore. It'd be super fast cleaning though!
It would wreck the inner barrel
I have a nice gun but it is really old. Are there any parts I should oil or replace?
acts like the hi-cap mag (tactical maraca) has a spring
Personally, I don’t believe in unloading mags. I mean it doesn’t hurt to unload, but honestly they’re fine staying loaded.
My real steel mags are loaded at all times stored away ready to use in a moments notice. MUCH heavier ammunition and much more tension and only slightly stronger springs.
A plastic bb isn’t going to dampen a spring over time
Did you put anything on your old t-shirt to help clean or just the shirt?
Im pretty new to airaoft and i was wondering is it bad to keep your attachments on your gun all the time or should i take them off
I have my gun for about 4 years.. I only ever cleaned the barrel, never lubed the internals, still works great, is it ok??
if you dont want to kill your battery all the way how do you channge in the field? when it gets weak?
When will you release PT 2 on maintenance
I have recently bought my first AEG, i have 2 springers. It is now firing just the odd bb, then nothing. I have tried cleaning it and nothing changes, so not sure. When firing i can hear a sound afterwards that could be the piston thing mentioned, but i am still learning. Is it possible to get a problem with the hicap magazine, that feels different. The gun is only 2 weeks old
What is a good silicone oil brand i should buy please and hank you
Do not charge your batteries to full after use. Place them in storage charge 3.82V DO NOT FULLY CHARGE until the day before use 4.2v. They will last longer.
Correct
Oh cool, its stuff I try to do already... I was worried I was gonna need to pop the gearbox open and relube the gears and bearings... :P
The gear grease should actually last a very long time. If you use your gun frequently, we do recommend going into the gearbox maybe once a year to check for any extreme ware. You can run a gun until it breaks and then get it repaired, but keeping your gun running is the goal! lol
Store lipo batteries between 40-60% , maintain NiMH's at full
Don’t use silicon oil for cleaning your barrel that’s just crazy best thing so far in my experience is using windex it’s streak free and doesn’t leave anything behind
Hahaha this guy cracked me u
Do you have to lock the hop before you put i back to the gun?
would this process be the same for something super nice like an umbrella armory upgraded gun? I have heard that since it's higher-end you would need to clean it more often/in different ways?
Same basic maintenance applies to those upgraded ones as well. Only differnce between those and and basic stock ones is the parts
Genuine question. Is isopropyl alcohol safe for use on aeg’s ?
I always clean the barrel, it's the gearbox I hate
Thanks for the info.
Does a HK 416 also disassemble in a similar way?
Same exact disassembly
Daddy Cisco, my lancer tactical aeg started smoking, I was outside target shooting in Arizona and then it stopped shooting and smoke started coming out of the fake bolt release so what is happening and what is broken
Hahahahaha.... awesome!!!!!
I think you need to trash that hi-cappa. Talk about MAYOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
😂😂
Don't use silicon oil if have an Rhop patch.
Did you disable the cylinder, why the lid doesnt open?
Can I use a real steel firearm cleaning kit in my airsoft gun?
Do I need to use the oil?? What happens if I don’t clean it with oil just a dry cloth
Damn...somebody get my man a Xanny! 🤣
😂😂
Spreading improper battery knowledge… charge to STORAGE CAPACITY. Charge them fully a couple days before or the night before the game.
I have F02 and i dont know whats really wrong with it but it feels like soemthing is wrong but i cant really describe what, i am for some reason scared of shooting it in full auto, it feels heavy and that click after shooting is loud, it also has mosfet and everything, am i just being paranoic?
About how often should you clean your guns and could you get away with cleaning them less often if you only use them at indoor fields?
once every 2 months works for me
Don’t worry boaz, I’ve destroyed at least two tvs and one monitor. But it wasn’t from airsoft, that trophy belongs to my bro.
Dang I just used to spray my bbs with wd 40 and shoot them out the barrel to clean the barrel
lol imma do that
