All paintball markers must be chronographed regularly. Adjust marker to shoot paintballs at a velocity that is less than 300 feet per second (fps) and that does not exceed the velocity limit set by the paintball park where the marker is in use. Chronograph the marker at regular intervals during the day, as well as any time the power source is refilled or changed, any time the barrel or any part in the power system is changed, and upon request of any player or game official. This paintball marker operates using compressed gas or air at specified pressure ranges. Follow safety procedures when handling compressed gas or air. All filling of compressed gas or air cylinders must be done by qualified persons. Follow the rules of safe marker handling: Keep finger off trigger until ready to shoot. Keep muzzle pointed in a safe direction. In addition, firmly insert a barrel plug into the muzzle and push the mechanical safety “on” when the marker is not in use and when in any non-shooting area. Never shoot at domestic animals or wildlife. Never mark objects outside the confines of the game or authorized shooting areas. Never look down the barrel of the marker. Before disassembly, storage, or transport of the marker, remove all paintballs from the marker, barrel, and loader ; remove power source; and remove all gas or air from the power system. Insert barrel plug and put mechanical safety in “no shoot” position. Carry marker in case or sturdy bag when in public. Safely and securely store marker to prevent access to it by unauthorized persons.
