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 (60°-80° F/16°-27° 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).
5. 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.
