    Quick Start Guide [VIDEO - How to Load a Green Gas Magazine]

    • Load your magazine: Pull the follower on the front of the magazine down to the bottom and hold it in place. Next, load BBs through the wider section of the follower track on the front of the mag. You can use a speed loader or load by hand.
    • Fill your magazine with gas: Invert your magazine so the fill valve on the bottom faces up. With the mag held inverted, push the nozzle of your Green Gas can into the valve and hold it in position for 5-10 seconds.
    • Put on your Eye Protection: Safety when using Airsoft guns should be your number 1 priority. Always wear eye protection before loading your platform and ensure any spectators are also protected.
    • Insert your magazine: With the barrel pointed in a safe direction and your finger off the trigger, insert your magazine by pushing it up into the magazine well until you hear the “click” of the magazine release engaging.
    • You're now ready to shoot! - Never shoot at animals, or humans who aren't in an Airsoft skirmish

    FAQ

    Q: What Ammo/BBs do I need?

    A: You'll need 6mm plastic Airsoft BBs between 0.20g and 0.28g in weight. We recommend 0.25g BBs for the WE EU Series for both indoor and outdoor gameplay. Never attempt to shoot any form of metal ammo or "paint" ammo, as these are not designed for Airsoft guns and will cause internal damage.

    Q: What Gas do I need?

    A: Standard pressure Airsoft Green Gas (NUPROL 2.0/2.Zero, VORSK V6, ASG Ultrair, Abbey Predator, SMART Green Gas) is ideal for this pistol in most weather conditions. If the temperature is below 10°C and your pistol cycles sluggishly, we recommend using Red Gas (NUPROL 3.0, VORSK V8, etc).

    Q: How do I maintain my GBB pistol?

    A: We recommend cleaning the slide engagement rails and applying silicone lubricant after every extended firing session (100 BBs+). See our Video: How to Lubricate an EU series GBB Pistol for more information. Regular maintenance ensures you get the best feel and performance from your GBB pistol, keeping the slide cycling efficiently with minimal friction and preventing jams. Never use WD40 or Petroleum-based lubricants on an Airsoft gun, as these will damage the rubber seals.

    Q: How old do I need to be to buy and use an Airsoft gun?

    A: Airsoft guns can be legally purchased by anyone over 18, but can be used by anyone of any age. We recommend adult supervision for users under 14 years old, at the parents' discretion. Most skirmish sites have a minimum age of 14 or over for attendees, some of which require under-18s to attend with an adult.

    Q: Can I buy this for someone else?

    A: Yes, provided you are over 18 and either have a Specific Defence under the VCRA, or choose a "Two-tone" colour variant. This variant is already finished in Pre Two-Tone Blue, so you can order without UKARA and use our fastest shipping service!

    Q: Do I need a UKARA or a License?

    A: Not for this variant, as it is already finished in Pre Two-Tone Blue, ready for immediate dispatch. You’ll need a UKARA membership or other valid defence under the VCRA to buy this item in realistic colours (Black, Tan, etc.). There’s no license required to own or buy Airsoft guns.

    Q: Does it hurt to get shot with this?

    A: It can sting, similar to a rubber band snap on bare skin, but less than a paintball. The sensation depends on distance, clothing, and protective gear. Airsoft guns produce muzzle energy around 1/14th of the average Paintball Marker, so hits hurt far less than hits from paintballs.

    Q: Is an Airsoft gun dangerous?

    A: Only if misused. Airsoft guns must never be brandished in public or in an area visible from public land. When transporting an Airsoft gun, ensure it is unloaded and concealed in a gun bag or case. When shooting, both the shooter and any spectators must use eye protection. It is also important that you don't shoot at targets beyond your property boundary. For more information on Airsoft Safety, check out our Airsoft Safety Guide.
