and top off with 300 -
400 psi. There are
many more smaller
advantages to using
high pressure--High
pressure systems
allow you to play all
year, where as C02
does not really work well in any gun in the extreme cold.
What happens if you burst a hose or damage your system
using high pressure is actually less dangerous than the
more volatile C02. Again we’ll cover that one in the next
chapter.
3. Use only oil designed for paintball guns in your
Rebel.
The primary function of oil in regards to your paint gun
is to reduce friction in the moving internal
components. This will minimize the wear of the parts
while increasing the speed and smoothness of the
operation. If you are going to use an oil that is not
specifically designed for paint guns there are some
important issues to look at. First, the temperature of
liquid C02 is somewhere in the -50 to -60 degree
Celsius range. You’ll need an oil that does not
thicken in that temperature range. Motor oil for
instance, is designed to work in hot temperatures and
will thicken in the cold. This will cause the internal
parts of your gun to slow down or even cease. The
"thickness" of an oil is called viscosity. Some oils
tend to have viscosity break-down in extreme hot or
cold temperatures--some do not. There is actually a
viscosity index which will tell you how "durable" an oil
is in hot or cold temperature. Paint gun oil should have a
viscosity index of 300+ and should be able to handle
temperatures of -60 to +60 degrees C.
