How To Clean Paintball Gun

hi I'm Dave Atkins with the 42nd Legion scenario paintball team out of Roanoke Virginia I'm here to talk to you today about how to clean a paintball gun

okay the materials that you'll need to clean your paintball gun are tools to take the gonna part with the gun itself

something to keep the loose parts in

barrel swap squeegee a towel to clean

parts with and perhaps some water to

help clean the parts with okay when

you're cleaning your gun the first thing

you want to do is check the barrel okay

clean it for any obvious breaks or any

debris on the outside and then when you

have done that you want to run a barrel

barrel swab through there just like so

and cleaning out the worst of it you

want to double check to make sure that

the barrel is clear if it's still not

clean after using a bottle swab you can

also use a squeegee feed one end of it

through there then as it a hook on the

Rings here just pull it through to give

a good firm tug that should clean off

any debris that may be left inside the

barrel right now the barrel is clean you

want to set that aside I also want to

clean off any visible dirt or Best Paintball Gun Under 150

breaks on the hopper then you also want

to clean off any visible breaks or dirt

on the exterior of the gun front back

and on the clam shells alright now we've

gone ahead and taken apart some of the

screws you want to be careful you take

all the screws out at these locations

I'm indicating put them in a magnetic

Bowl or something to help keep them from

getting lost when you disassemble the

clam shells you want to be careful

because there's a lot of small items

that are under a lot of spring tension

okay we want to disassemble the first

side of the clam shell and set it off to

the side okay now you have access to all

your main moving parts okay you want to

check to make sure that you clean off

any obvious debris any paint breaks that

may be inside the gun and also let's go

ahead and kind of wipe it down make sure

everything is oil check all your metal

to metal contacts such as your rear bolt

and your sear down here also check your

springs to make sure that they're in

good shape and also um be careful the

spring back here the rear hammer is

under a lot of tension you want to go

ahead and gently

that out of position so it takes some of

the spring pressure off the rear of the

gun okay now at this point you can take

a take a small cleaning cloth and go

ahead and wipe down all the parts also

we have some water here if you dip the

cloth and water and also kind of clean

off some parts I also want to make sure

before you reassemble everything go

ahead and give it a good oil a down make

sure everything operates smoothly and

also double check all of your o-rings

such as the one here on the front make

sure that that has no obvious tears or

wear it on it and then you can also take

the front of the clamshell part set it

aside and check and inspect that the

front and chamber is clean also check

the o-rings on the front of the bolt as

well and also in the chamber as well

also be careful about the ball detent it

has can fall out make sure that it's

clean

good and springy you want to set that

back in place as well pretty much this

gun is in good shape it's pretty clean

you want your gun to kind of look like

this once you're ready to reassemble it

now just remember the each gun is

different you want to know your specific

model and know your owner's manual and

how to probably care and maintain your

gun also never clean your gun while

pressurized I'm Dave and that's how to

clean a paintball gun
