When i buy a paintball gun do i have to oil it before i use it or can i just use it right out of the box?

i recently bought a Spyder mr1 and i was wondering if we had to oil the o-rings and which ones.





can we use any oil or does it have to be a specific one???

Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't, and for that reason you should always lube up before using the gun out of the box. If it didn't come with any, it's best to get some paintball-specific oil (PMI oil, Eclipse oil, AKA oil, etc), which is usually synthetic oil (other kind is mineral oil, which is bad because it's abrasive over time).





As this is the first time lubing it yourself, i suggest disassembling the MR1 and wiping down the internals to clean them (best to use a lint-free rag or microfiber cloth). Then put a couple drops of oil on pretty much any o-ring you see (should be 1 or 2 on the bolt %26amp; 1 on the striker), rubbing it on evenly. Reassemble.





Later on, if you just need to relube, you won't have to disassemble the gun. Quick %26amp; easy way is to remove the hopper, tank %26amp; barrel, make sure there's no paintballs in the breech of the gun, place a few drops of oil in the gun's asa (where the tank goes), screw the tank in, then dry-fire into a cloth a few times to cycle the oil around. This only works on blowbacks with no regulators, like the MR1. Don't try this with just any gun.When i buy a paintball gun do i have to oil it before i use it or can i just use it right out of the box?
No but the Co2 can freeze the O-rings causing them to crack and cause leaks. If your gun came with gun oil put some all around the ring while its on the tank every time you use it and the orings will last you longer.
I had a oil that was made for paint ball guns. I didn't use it all the time. And the rings need to be changed often or the Co2 will leak out.
