OPERATION 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 gun is red rapidly.
1. High temperatures can increase pressure in the CO
2
capsule 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
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
gun, as well as the CO
2
capsule. This could result in lower projectile velocities
and may even lower gas pressure enough so that the pistol 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 gun is not shot with a CO
2
capsule that is low in pressure. Here are some indicators of insufcient
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).

CARE
CO
2
CAPSULES MAY EXPLODE AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE
122° F. DO NOT MUTILATE OR INCINERATE THEM. DO NOT EXPOSE THEM TO HEAT
OR STORE CO2 CAPSULES AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE 122°F.
WARNING:
NEVER ATTEMPT TO REUSE A CO2 CAPSULE FOR ANY PURPOSE.
CAUTION
ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE AIRGUN IS UNLOADED WHEN GETTING FROM
STORAGE OR FROM ANOTHER PERSON.
