how long do till you clean your gun?

[fuzzbubble]

ok heres the deal, i was playing in my tourney today, (got my mag working, thanks to all who lent advice, especially havoc) and i was standing around talking with the other teams and i found out that some of them have been playing for like 6 months, and have never cleanded their gun!, now this sounds weird to me, since i cant sleep that night if i dont clean all my stuff, so i posted this poll to see what the general consensous is on gun matinence.....

I clean my gun when it gets dirty. If I take alot of gun hits or 3 or 4 play sessions, whichever comes first.

When I get home from paintballing, it's usually 8:00-10:00 pm, so I just set my gun down for later. I usually clean it the following morning.

Most of the time, I clean my gun the same day, occasionaly, I leave it till the next day!!! The extent to which I disassemble my gun, however, depends on how dirty it is, or if I have taken any hits in it!!!

i always, no iffs ands or buts, get my marker clean that night. I take it into the bathroom, and onto the linoleum floor(as to not loose any small e-mag pieces) and i dissassemble it. Then i plug the bath tub, and fully rinse out the body, barrel and body rail. then i washoff the valve, and clean any gunk. I re assemble her, and go oil her. I also try to drop a drop of oil in the asa every other day, ancd cycle it through. I want my marker to last.

Well the outside of the marker I definitely clean after every game or the refs might think that is a fresh shot.

Lube and clean, after a days worth of playing.

It is best to strip and clean your marker after each outing.

The last marker failure I had was with an angel. Not being able to "open it up" after every day of play never sat well with me. So I sold it. :)

Yea... I clean and lube all my regs and marker after every day of play. Right now I'm shooting a Shocker so... that may increase to every case of paint

The whole point is to be sure that what I'm shooting never lets me or my team down.

There are two great things about the Mag,(classic and rtp);
1)it actually doesn't need cleaning, i know a guy that never cleans his mag, and it works like the day he got it.
2)you can clean it by leaving it gassed up, and dunking it in water and swishing it around... as on the AGD maintnance video that came with my mini.

I love simple cleaners, my angel is the pits for cleaning, I have to actually pay attention when cleaning it. My mag gets a lot less when I clean it.

Marker hits: I wipe those off after the game.
Barrel: I clean it when it's had a break inside. With my LX, that's been once since 7/3/02.
Body: Same as the barrel.

coo

do you guarantee that Creative Mayhem? cause if you do then that would be awesome :) but still id clean the gun as soon as you can because paint gets in the most unusual places and might have gotten inside your gun somehow.

[Kevmaster]

i wipe off the paint on the outside and oil before play everyday...thats it

[fearc7]

i try not to clean the inside unless i broke a ball in there. Wipe the outside always. I used to dunk it in water, but then some of the allen screws started rusting out, and my main bolt spring totally rusted bad. It did this by like the second time i did this with normal tap water. Do you guys have this problem?
