1. High temperatures can increase pressure in the CO2 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 CO2 cartridge.
This could lead to a lower muzzle speed, uneven gas pressure.
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).
Shooting with low CO2 pressure can cause a pellet to get jammed in the barrel.
Bear in mind the indications for jams.
WARNING:
A jam is a dangerous situation.
