Rust Prevention

The latest trend in Airsoft is full metal Airsoft guns. Airsoft enthusiasts and manufacturers are choosing full metal Airsoft guns over their plastic counterparts in an effort to improve reliability, durability, and power. This is especially true for Airsoft shotguns as well as Airsoft sniper rifles. There are many advantages to metal Airsoft guns. However, there is one major drawback: the risk of rust. Rust is a danger with all metal guns. Rust can not only be unsightly but it can also corrode your barrel and internal mechanisms, which could lead to a reduction in the performance of your Airsoft gun. Here are some ways to keep your Airsoft gun free from rust.

Rust Prevention Products

It is easy to protect your metal Airsoft guns by investing in high-quality rust prevention products. There are many rust prevention products available that offer different levels of protection. Most rust prevention products come in spray or liquid forms. Not all rust prevention products can be used as lubricants. Consider using a product that acts as a lubricant and rust prevention on moving parts.

Desiccants

Desiccants Bags are small packets of silica gel that can be found in clothing and other products. Desiccants are able to absorb water and prevent rust from occurring. Desiccants can be purchased at your local hardware store, or you can find them in new packaging. It is important to remember that desiccants can only remove humidity from their immediate vicinity. In order to use them properly, Airsoft guns should be kept in a gun safe, a case or other type of sealed storage container.

Temperature-Controlled Gun Safes

While certainly the most expensive option, temperature-controlled gun safes not only allow you to set your humidity and temperature levels, but they also provide the security of having a lockable storage location for your Airsoft arsenal. A standard gun safe can be purchased and installed by you to control your humidity.
