How excaclty does a paintball gun work?

[beenjamin]

Sup,
Im new to the forum, and also kinda new to paintball.
I recently purchased a kingman spyder compact 2k to replace my good ol' talon. I really like to baby my equiptment, but I have absolutely no idea how to dissasemble and clean a spyder compact. I was kinda hopin it would have come with instructions on that or something, but it didnt. Does anyone know of a website, or can anyone provide me with some basic info on how to clean/maintain my gun. Right now, Im afraid to take it apart 'cause I dont wanna break a seal that isnt supposed to be broken or something. Any info on how a paintball gun works mechanically, or how to clean a spyder's insides would be very usefull. Thanks.

take out the sight rail and the pins of the second stck tube and all the guts should come flying out. clean them and put it back together like this. first put bolt (long and sliver) piece that comes off into hole on striker (black piece with oring around one end. the slnt part should face down). then put green stopper around spring and put that into hole in striker. the put plastic black piece into hole in spring and put small silver circle on that. then put the velocity adjuster on and the cap over the first stck tube and yur good to go.

you should look around or go to kingmans website and try to get some schematics of the gun i have a shutter and all i have to do is pull the field strip pin and put my thumb over the rear cocking bolt and the vlocity adjuster and then you just pull out the parts one by one and keep note of how they go back in (i ususally line them up in the order they came out) then clean the stuff oil it and put it back (you should just try it it's really really easy) but you should definetly try to take it apart and oil the parts becuase if you go to long without oiling the gun it can stick and damage it (it happend to my friends blue shutter)
