You will learn more about what the Glock airsoft gun is from this article.

Introduction to the rifle unit

Glock 17

Airsoft gun is used as a primary or secondary weapon in tactical war games. If we compare this model with other "pneumatics", then the "Glock" No. 17 is less traumatic. The fact is that he shoots plastic balls. Thanks to this, the scope of application is not limited exclusively to airsoft. You can also use the weapon for entertaining bottle shooting.

Description

For the manufacture of the case, impact-resistant plastic is used, for the bolt casing, barrel and main components - metal alloys. Judging by the reviews of the owners, if you drop the Glock airsoft gun on a hard surface, it does not deform. This is possible thanks to the competent combination of polymers and metal.

"Pneumat" has a single type of descent: to make a shot, the owner will have to cock it first. This model is equipped with automatic and non-automatic fuses. The front and rear sights are used as sighting devices. If the owner has a desire, he can equip the pistol with an additional underbarrel laser designator. Structurally, the barrel consists of an outer casing and a brass liner. The purpose of the casing is to imitate the dimensions of a combat counterpart. To ensure the most realistic action of the shutter, the return spring is mounted on a metal axle.

How does it work?

Pistol automatics actuated under pressurenatural gas Green gas, which is characterized by a high propane content. In order for the pressure to recover faster after the shot, the developers reduced the concentration of heavy components. In addition, less volatile butane is used in this gas. According to the owners of these airsoft guns, one charge will be enough to shoot three clips loaded with balls. With the help of the shutter, the projectile is sent into the barrel channel and the trigger is cocked. The bolt itself has to be manually cocked each time before firing. If you press the entire area on the trigger with your finger, the automatic fuse will turn off.

How to disassemble?

The “pneumat” is being dismantled in several stages. First, the magazine is removed and the bolt is cocked. Next, the latches must be pressed down and the shutter casing dismantled. To do this, he is moved forward. Then you need to remove the hop-up mechanism and the brass barrel. Experts advise not to disassemble the gun yourself. Especially if you have to deal with the most critical nodes in the design. For this, there are special service centers where they hand over their weapons when they need to replace broken or worn parts.
