Hi,

Just getting into paintball and have some questions.

Is it Ok to lubricate the inside of the markers, both inside the moving
parts and barrel? I know to keep the O-rings oiled, but someone told me not
to get oil on my fabric squeegee or the inside the barrel.

My markers came with 9" factory supplied barrels, but I read about using
longer ones (i.e.: 12"). Is there any truth to using barrels longer than
14", that you will loose velocity as the air needs to exit the barrel behind
the ball without further resistance?

Lastly, it is normal to have C02 gas leak in a loud long hiss when removing
it from the marker. Seems like no matter how quickly I try and unscrew the
tank, I get quite a lot of gas spewing out.

Thanks for any and all help,
Dave
