Sergeantmajor is correct, there are different methods of preparing the weapon, for different environments. Little to no oil in dust, plenty of oil in wet tropics etc..

Dust is a pain in the ass, so you can keep a couple of different sized paintbrushes to keep everything clean, it doesn't take long to unload, pop out your bolt, give your weapon a quick going over with the brush and be good to go. (done in fireteams of course, not while being shot at preffered)


I'd also like to note, because of the tone in your reply, that I'm not a hard core airsofter, thats not my thing, and thats ok.. I know some people are into it pretty hardcore, thats totally cool, some guys just like to go out and play in mixed dress, also fine. Some guys like Clearsoft, some guys like paintball, some guys like watching oprah, to each his own.

Giving someone a hard time because the like the particluar weapon (for whatever reason) and chose to model their AEG on their preference is childish.


PS...if taliban got a minimi, I'd be very surprised if he couldn't figure it out. Those guys have lived war since birth, it is their life. Never underestimate the enemy right?

But anyway, I'm not sure about spending all my money on kit and equipment so that I can accurately represent whatever.... Getting into this sport, I'd like to think that HAVING FUN, meeting like minded people and trying new things...

"*IS* the heart of airsoft and the whole motivation for the sport being invented in the first place."

But what do I know? Im just a "Noob"
