Last time I played (yesterday), some guy that was selling his electro cocker for an Angel insisted that you couldn't shoot a mag under water. I said you could. He said "Who told you you could shoot it under water and not hurt it?" I told him that Tom Kaye said that and he shut up for a while, but then he asked me if you could shoot paint under water. I said you probably could if you did it really fast, but that the paint would likely break before it exited the gun. Wouldn't this still be considered shooting, because it did fire a ball, even if it broke, right?

The water would make it impossible for any gun to successfully fire a paintball underwater. It is to thick a medium.The ball would just burst.Last edited by Bonx0007; 05-26-2002, 04:43 PM. -

Of course you can put your gun underwater and fire it. One of the ways to clean your gun is put it in water and swish it around to clean it off. Well, there's plenty of morons that like to pull the trigger and make it shoot underwater which results in water getting into the valve and then they let the gun sit with all that water in it.Comment

I thought it wouldn't hurt a mag to shoot it under water, or does that just mean with the valve sticking out of the water and not completely submurged?Comment

as long as its pressurized, the whole gun can be underwater and shoot fine. Come on guys, dont make me be the first one to try actually shooting it. LOL, when the ball breaks paint will come out of the powerfeed and everything, it should be greatComment

just drop a paintball in there and shoot it before it can get soggy! :)Comment

People The paintball will have to get wet remember that the power feed is not water proof! THere will be water in the breech that may stop it from loading properly.Comment

someone could just get their nubbins nice and tight and hold it down in a bucket so that the only part of the gun in the water is right below the breech...and the back of the gun and valve stick out off the waterComment

I've tried shooting dry and yes, with a paintball underwater. NOt a big deal at all. As long as the gun is under pressure, no water will get into the valve or anything. Great way to clean it off. The place where people do make a mistake is depressurizing the gun after taking it out of the water. Now water can get in. Leave the tank on until it's completly dry.
Now...about the paintball...
It just makes a big splash and barely comes out the barrel.
My girlfriend rides a moped. How cool is that??!!

we have seen here that the mag can.. it is blowforward.. but what about blowbacks? the blowback gas wit hthe water around hte bolt would make it impossible for hte gas to blow back the bolt. And hte cocker has that massive back block which would make it very slow to recock if it all.-Vegeta
