OPERATION
It is possible that certain conditions may affect a CO
2
capsule, which can impact
its proper performance. These conditions include the usage, maintenance and
storage at temperatures that are higher or lower than normal outdoors temperatures
(60º-80º F/16º-27º C). Another condition may be when the airgun is red rapidly.
1. High temperatures can increase pressure in the CO
2
capsule and also within
the airgun, leading to higher than standard operating pressure. This excess
pressure could cause the airgun to malfunction or be permanently damaged.
Maximum storage or operation temperature should never exceed 122°F (50°C).
This temperature can be reached if you leave the airgun under direct sunlight
on a bright day. Thus, to ensure proper airgun operation, do not expose it to
high temperatures or direct sunlight for long periods of time. Otherwise, the CO
2
capsule could overheat and explode, which could damage the airgun and cause
injuries or death to people around it.
2. Fast consecutive shooting may produce a decrease of temperature in the
airgun, as well as the CO
2
capsule. This could result in lower projectile velocities
and may even lower gas pressure enough so that the airgun will not re. This
condition can be especially apparent when shooting in cold weather and 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 re, the muzzle velocity of each shot will diminish. This can affect
shooting accuracy and you will get fewer shots per CO
2
capsule.
4. Care should be exercised to insure that the airgun is not shot with a CO
2
capsule
that is low in pressure. Here are some indicators of insufcient pressure:
A) The sound of the shot is not as loud as when the capsule is full.
B) The projectile hits the target, but in a lower position than it would with a full
CO
2
capsule (that is, the shooting speed has dropped).
7. Use and Handling of CO
2
Capsules
NEVER ATTEMPT TO REUSE A CO
2
CAPSULE FOR ANY PURPOSE.
CAUTION
ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE AIRGUN IS UNLOADED WHEN GETTING FROM
STORAGE OR FROM ANOTHER PERSON.
CO
2
CAPSULES MAY EXPLODE AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE
122° F. DO NOT MUTILATE OR INCINERATE THEM. DO NOT EXPOSE THEM TO
HEAT OR STORE CO
2
CAPSULES AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE 122° F.
