1. Put your airsoft magazine in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to lower its internal temperature before refill, which can create negative pressure inside to absorb more gas
2. Hold the green gas canister upside down, align the nozzle with the magazine’s refill valve, press and hold for 3 to 5 seconds for one full refill
3. Do not overfill the magazine: stop refilling when excess gas leaks out from the valve automatically
4. Leave the filled magazine at room temperature for 15 minutes before firing, to make sure internal pressure stabilizes for consistent FPS output
