    cleaning

    I got a hard time cleaning that little ridge inside the mainbody around the bolt, any suggestions? or any suggestions for cleaning the gun in general? Can I really submerge it as long as its pressurized?

    Yes, you can submerge it as long as you want if it's pressurized. As for the lip, I used some cotton swabs (Q-Tips) and some water with a little bit of dishwashing detergent, it worked pretty good.

        I take off the body, and soak it in a hot water/dishsoap mixture. It works great with paint, but for dirt, you may need a swab like at the end of a squeegie to clean the rest of the gunk out.

        Or you could run it through the dishwasher, like my wife did once!

            There is this strange product that comes to mind when I thought of this post. There is a product at my neighborhood paintball store, they call it a barrel mop, I believe it would be great for cleaning that lip.

                Are you serious krafty? I can see the new solgan already, "Because quality is always dishwasher safe!"

                    Yeah, long story...

                    Bunch of broken RPS hot pink...
                    Set it on the kitchen counter (next to the dirty dishes) with the intent of cleaning it later...
                    Hopped in the shower to clean up after playing...
                    Got out and the main body was gone...
                    Asked my wife where it went...
                    She stuck it in the dishwasher with the dishes. :)

                      keep in mind, this was JUST the body, no rail, no internals, no hoses, just the body. It's stainless steel, just like most silverware, so it held up nicely! Even smelled lemony fresh!

                      Of course, I wouldn't recommend anyone else try, and I take no responsibility if anyone washes their entire gun.
