Your paintball gun was probably a fairly big investment to take on when your purchased it. In addition to that, there may have been several add-ons that you have gotten for it since that time. When you have such an investment on your hands, you are going to want to do everything that you possibly can to keep it clean and working in the best fashion possible. This means a bit more than just doing a cleaning now and then. You will find that if you stay on a regular cleaning schedule for your paintball gun that it will not only last you longer, but it will also perform better each and every time that you use it.

Follow the instructions that came directly from the manufacturer when you take your paintball gun apart. Once you have disassembled the gun, you can then begin by taking your squeegee through the barrel to get out any residue that may be in there. Then you can wipe all around the rest of the barrel and dry it off. When it comes to cleaning all around the smaller areas of your paintball gun, it is a great idea to keep some cotton swabs or an old toothbrush or two on hand. This will allow you to get right into some of the dips and crevices that you will find along the way that may be harder to reach.

While you are cleaning your gun, this is also a great time to double check and see if there are any pieces that are damaged and may need replacement. If you happen to have extra screws, springs or o-rings on hand, these types of repairs can be simple and easy. Once your gun is all clean, you will be more than ready for the next face-off on the field.
