How Do You Open An M-16 Airsoft Rifle?
Airsoft guns are hobby guns that replicate guns used by the U.S. military. Airsoft guns use forced air to shoot plastic BBs, whereas BB guns use metal BBs and shoot like real guns. Sometimes a BB can get stuck in the Airsoft M-16 rifle chamber, making it necessary for you to open the gun for repair. Check the weapon to make sure it is not loaded and that the chamber is clear of ammunition. Release the magazine by pushing the button on the left side of the gun just above the hand grip. Remove the retaining pin located on the right side of the gun above the grip. Once the pin is removed, take out the cap on the left side of the gun holding the pin in place and remove the pin. Snap the gun apart by nudging the barrel forward while pulling the handle upward until the gun barrel flips forward. This will expose the inner chamber and the springs. Remove the inner barrel from the outer barrel casing. This 6 millimeter inner tube is what controls the precision of the BBs when shot, so be carefu
