- Ensure the air pistol is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction.
- Unscrew the CO2 cap at the bottom of the grip.
- Insert one 12g CO2 cartridge into the grip with the narrow end facing up.
- Screw the CO2 cap back on. Tighten it until snug, but avoid overtightening, as this can damage the seal or prevent CO2 flow. The CO2 cartridge is now housed but not activated.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Activating CO2
To activate the CO2 cartridge, firmly tap the bottom of the CO2 cap against a hard surface. This punctures the cartridge, making the air pistol ready to fire. Only activate the CO2 when you intend to use the air pistol immediately.
4.2 Firing the Air Pistol
- Ensure the CO2 is activated and the air pistol is loaded.
- Aim at a safe and appropriate target.
- Pull the trigger. The trigger safety is disengaged as the trigger is pulled.
- After firing, if more shots are desired, ensure the air pistol remains pointed in a safe direction and continue to fire until empty or until the CO2 pressure is depleted.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your Umarex P2P HDP air pistol.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the air pistol with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Barrel Cleaning: If projectiles become stuck or accuracy decreases, use a cleaning rod or the provided tool to gently clear the barrel.
- CO2 Seal Care: Apply a drop of silicone oil to the tip of new CO2 cartridges before insertion to help maintain the integrity of the internal seals.
- Storage: Always store the air pistol unloaded and with the CO2 cartridge removed (and depleted if activated). Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Air pistol does not fire or fires weakly. | CO2 cartridge not activated or empty. CO2 cap overtightened. | Ensure CO2 cartridge is new and activated. Do not overtighten the CO2 cap; tighten until snug. Replace empty cartridge. |
| Projectile stuck in the barrel. | Deformed projectile or improper loading. | Use the provided loading tool or a cleaning rod to gently push the projectile out from the muzzle end. Ensure only recommended .50 caliber projectiles are used. |
| CO2 cap difficult to remove after activation. | Pressure build-up from activated CO2. | Ensure all gas is depleted by firing the air pistol until no more pressure is felt. If still stuck, seek professional assistance. Avoid overtightening the cap during installation. |
| Inconsistent accuracy. | Dirty barrel, inconsistent projectiles, or low CO2 pressure. | Clean the barrel. Use high-quality, consistent .50 caliber projectiles. Replace CO2 cartridge if pressure is low. |
