CHARACTERISTICS
There are occasions when a CO 2 pistol may be subjected to abnormal conditions
that can produce effects on the pistols performance. These conditions include
operation and/or storage of the pistol at temperatures that are considerably higher or
lower than normal outdoor temperatures (60 – 70 degrees F), as well as conditions
of rapid fire.
1. High temperatures can produce pressure in the CO
2 cylinder and gun that is
considerably higher than normal operating pressure. Such increased pressure
may prevent the pistol from firing and may result in permanent damage to the
gun. The maximum operating or storage temperatures can easily be reached if
the gun is left directly in the sun on a bright, sunny day. Therefore the shooter
should not expose the pistol to high temperature conditions or direct sunlight for
any extended period of time.
2. Rapid firing of the gun will cause temperature reduction in the pistol and CO 2 gas.
This will result in lower BB velocities and may even lower gas pressure enough so that
the pistol will not fire. This condition can be avoided by allowing more time between
shots. This permits the gas to increase in temperature and pressure, and produce
normal velocities.
3. During rapid fire, the muzzle velocity of each shot can be expected to decrease.
This can be detrimental to shooting accuracy.
4. Care should be exercised to ensure that the gun is not shot with a CO
2
cylinder
that is low in pressure because a BB may not be expelled from the barrel.
STORAGE
Store your pistol unloaded. Put “ON” safety, remove CO
2
cylinder and remove the
Quick Change BB Clip from the pistol. Keep pistol away from children and untrained
shooters. Store BBs, Quick Change Clip, and CO
2
cylinders separately from the
pistol to keep them from untrained shooters.
WARNING: A CO
2
cylinder contains gas under pressure, whether or not it has
been inserted into a gun. If exposed to high temperatures (such as inside of a
closed car in direct sunlight), it could explode. Be sure to store all cylinders in a cool
place.
