Questions about the use of green gas are what drives a lot of people nuts about playing with gas-powered airsoft guns. The folks from Abbey have a bunch of answers grounded in science waiting for you in a short video below. For those who prefer text, we’ve got you covered. Skip the video and read on!
1. Hold your gas bottle upside down
The reason for this is simple physics: gas is store in liquid state and we want it to draw into the magazine.
2. Press it down into the mag and hold it for about 10 seconds
You won’t be able to load a gas mag all in one shot. The gas needs to settle inside the gas chamber. Press the nozzle firmly in a straight position and hold it for about 10 seconds.
3. Repeat until full
Wait a few seconds for gas to settle inside the mag, then repeat the process until your magazine is full, at which point it will start spewing a little gas around.
That’s it! We hope this helped dispel any inaccuracies acquired from various sources, online and offline.
