Setup and Loading

Follow these steps to prepare your air pistol for use:

1. Insert CO2 Cartridge:

   • Locate the CO2 compartment at the bottom of the magazine.
   • Unscrew the CO2 cap using the provided key or an appropriate tool.
   • Insert a 12g CO2 cartridge into the compartment, narrow end first.
   • Tighten the CO2 cap firmly until the cartridge is punctured and sealed. Do not overtighten.
2. Load BBs:
   • Pull down the follower spring on the magazine until it locks into place.
   • Insert .177 caliber steel BBs into the loading port until the magazine is full (up to 18 rounds).

Operating the Air Pistol

Once loaded, your air pistol is ready for operation:

1. Engage/Disengage Safety: The safety mechanism is located on the bottom of the pistol frame. Push it forward to disengage (fire) and backward to engage (safe). Always keep the safety engaged until you are ready to fire.
2. Cock the Slide: Pull the slide fully to the rear and release it to chamber the first BB. This action also primes the blowback mechanism.
3. Aim: Align the front and rear sights with your target.
4. Fire: With the safety disengaged and the pistol aimed at a safe target, pull the trigger to fire. The slide will cycle back and forth with each shot, simulating realistic recoil.
5. Reloading: When the magazine is empty, the slide will lock back. Remove the empty magazine, load a new one, and press the slide release lever or pull the slide back and release to continue firing.

Maintenance and Storage

Proper maintenance ensures longevity and reliable performance:

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the barrel and external surfaces with a soft cloth. Use silicone oil on moving parts and seals to prevent wear and maintain performance.
• CO2 Removal: Always remove the CO2 cartridge from the magazine when the air pistol is not in use. Leaving CO2 in for extended periods can damage seals.
• Storage: Store the air pistol in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is unloaded and the safety is engaged. Keep it out of reach of children and unauthorized users.
