As with any other type of sporting equipment, proper care of your paintball gun is essential. Those who are active in this sport know that these guns, also called markers, can be very expensive. As with any paintball gear, you want to take care of it and make sure that it stays operational for quite some time. There are a few steps that you can take in order to be sure that your equipment stays in good working order for a long time.

You should be able to take your gun apart and put it back together with ease. It is very important to be familiar with your paintball gear and how each part operates. If you are familiar with the breakdown of the gun, then you will more than likely be able to repair a problem that might occur in the middle of a game. It is also very helpful to learn the names of the different parts that make up your gun. This is important when you are in need of replacement parts.

One way to ensure that your paintball gun is always ready to use is to be sure that you clean it after each session. Dust particles and grit that fill the air can cause extensive damage to the working parts. If not properly taken care of, these parts can jam and refuse to work when you need them. After each paintball game, make sure that your gun and its intricate moving parts are cleaned and dried. The moving parts and specifically the o-rings inside of the gun should be kept well lubricated with oil specifically made for your model.
