How to Fix a Jammed Airsoft Gun

A realistic-looking toy rifle, the airsoft gun employs a spring mechanism to fire its projectile, but it ceases to work if the projectile becomes jammed inside of the spring mechanism. You can fix the airsoft gun so that it will fire again using a common rifle-cleaning tool that you can get from a gun shop or hobby supply store. You will also need to partially disassemble the airsoft gun.
