Instruction Manual

7. Use and handling of CO2 cartridges

It is possible that certain conditions may affect a CO2 pistol, which can impact its proper performance. These conditions

include the usage, maintenance, and storage at certain temperatures that are higher or lower than normal outdoors

temperatures (from 59°F / 15°C to 69.8°F / 21°C). Another condition may be when the gun is shot at fast speeds.

1. High temperatures can increase pressure in the CO

cartridge and also within the gun, leading to higher than

standard operating pressure. This excess pressure could cause the gun 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 gun under direct sunlight on a bright day. Thus, to ensure proper gun operation, do not expose it to high

temperatures or direct sunlight for long periods of time. Otherwise, the CO

2 cartridge could overheat and explode,

which could damage the weapon and cause injuries or death to people around it.

2. Fast consecutive shooting may produce a decrease of temperature in the gun, as well as the CO

2 cartridge.

This could lead to a lower muzzle speed, uneven gas pressure and impact on the blowback operation of the weapon.

3. Keep in mind that during a rapid-fire sequence, the muzzle speed will diminish with each shot, which may

negatively affect the power of the shot.

4. Try not to shoot the weapon with a CO

2 cartridge that has already lost a considerable portion of its pressure.

Here are some indicators of insufficient CO2 cartridge pressure:

A) The sound of the shot is not as loud as when the cartridge is full.

B) The ammunition hits the target, but in a lower position than it would with a full CO

2 cartridge

(that is, the shooting speed has dropped).

C) The slide no longer goes through the blowback process.

D) The slide will move twice (double blow-back action).

Shooting with low CO2 pressure can cause a pellet to get jammed in the barrel.

Bear in mind the indications for jams.
