How to Unjam an Airsoft

Airsoft weapons are often used outdoors, where they accumulate dirt and debris. As a result, the firing mechanism can unexpectedly jam and render an airsoft gun unworkable. There are a number of steps that will aid in unjamming the firing mechanism to return the airsoft gun to full functionality. You will need a few household items and a cleaning rod designed for a real hand weapon. These steps should only be done inside in a clean environment.

Things You'll Need

  • Newspaper
  • .22 caliber cleaning rod
  • Lint-free cloth
