Gun Care

When using a CO2 bottle, make sure that an O-ring is attached to the bottle's nozzle.

Make sure all O-Rings are flush with the grooves that they lie in. An O-ring should not rise above the trench that it lies in.

Proper maintenance for a functional paintball marker:

After every 3 or 4 games, you have to clean your marker, or as necessary depending on usage (paint breaks). If you are not familiar with breaking down your marker, contact a dealer, or an experienced player on how to break down your marker and clean it. Using rubbing alcohol and firm brush is recommended. If you use water, make sure the parts are thoroughly dry before re-assembly.

Periodically, every month or so, we recommend you use gun oil or paintball gun oil. A company named Hoppe's No.9 produces products for gun care that apply to paintball markers. Apply the gun oil to the cocking slot onto the hammer, and put a few drops in the bottom-line before screwing the CO2 bottle in. Firing a few shots will distribute the oil to the internal parts of the marker. Do not over oil your gun because certain types of oil cause the o-rings to expand, which leads to certain problems.

Do not overtighten the Allen screws.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
Paintball Marker shoots too fast	Reduce the velocity by turning the velocity adjuster counter clockwise Make a softer spring, either by cutting no more than 1-2 cms from the spring, or buying a softer spring
Paintball Marker shoots too slow	Change to harder spring The Marker is dirty The wrong gun oil is being used the spring is worn out
Paintball Marker Chops balls	Adjust your velocity, make sure it fires faster than 240 fps and less than 300 fps. Make sure the quality of paint is suitable for the gun(see below)
Paintball Marker leaks where the bottle connects to the gun (bottom line)	Make sure that the CO2 bottle has an O-ring attached to the nozzle
Paintball Marker Rapid Fires	This conditions occurs during a few situations: CO2 bottle is low on gas. It is too cold. An expansion chamber will remedy the situation The velocity is too low
How to Determine Bad paint	Paint is very fragile, and needs to be taken care of, and used immediately. Always use your paint as soon as possible. When paint is sedentary for long periods of time, the liquid will settle to the bottow, disforming the ball, which tends to cause erratic flightpaths and chopping, and weakening of the paintball wall, which leads to breaks If you have to store paint, please store it in a cool dry place. Heat and moisture weakens and deforms the balls, which leads to breaks and

Compatibility

Barrels:

The GT Commando series are compatible with Spyder threads.

The Diamond GT series are compatible with AutoCocker.

We do strongly recommend you try the barrel out first before purchasing. The barrel manufacturer should have more detailed information on which marker is compatible with their barrel.

Electronic Grips:

Neither the Diamond GT series or GT Commando series is currently compatible with electronic trigger/grip assemblies.

Nitrogen systems:

Both the GT Commando series and the Diamond GT series are compatible with nitrogen systems.
