Gun just came in the mail

[Shaft]

I bought my first airsoft used from eBay and it arrived today. After a load of research I decided on the KWC Desert Eagle. Wow this thing is beautiful. I need to purchase some Gas BB's and a magazine (not included with the used gun). Since I only spent $40 including shipping for the gun (no mag gas or ammo), I think I made out pretty well. Can't wait to fire it up! Anything special I need to do? I need to find a guide for how to disassemble this bad boy (no manual). And I need to know where to apply lube and how often to lube it up. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

It comes appart really easy.
You will see that there is a button near the trigger, all you need to do is push that, and move the little small piece which is above the trigger on an angle. You can then slide the barrel off, and the slide will also slide off.

*If you havent noticed, the barrel has a plastic piece that slides away so you can adjust the hopup.

I know this may not be a whole lot of help since it isnt a graphical explination, but I hope it helps.

Well I got it apart, thanks for the info... now how do I put it back together I think I understand everything, except when I slid the barrell off 2 springs attached to a metal guide of some sort fell out. Not sure how this fits in.

Nevermind, I found some pics of stripping through google and figured it all out

Heh! I bet that was a heart stopping moment. Kinda goes to show (And this is something to remember for when you get an AEG):

Don't mess around with your gun unless you need to

haha jacko that was a hilarious moment 4 me. that happened 2 me the first time i took apart my gun (walmart airstrike 240-POS) i was really freaked, cause that was my first gun.

It's the sick relationship between people going 'Oo! My new gun!' and 'I wonder if I can take it apart!' without realizing it's A) Brand new territory for them and B) The manual is probably in Japanese. ;D ;D

Yeah I know. I did need to know how to do this eventually (cleaning and lubing) though.

5 a month......

"I have all the parts except maybe a few little springs that flew out......."

DUDE, THAT Airstrike was it made by daisy? ccause that was my first airsoft gun too. i bought mine from my work though KMART, and it was better than most TMs or other springers then it took a shit. but it always chronod higher than other springers and i ghetto rigged it to shoot about as high as a stock aeg springs found in metal shop and springs i made out of scratch. only 17.99 with goggles, bb trap, bbs. and like a few targets. about a week later i got my aeg, ak47
