LUBRICATION
It is recommended that 100% synthetic paintball marker oil, such as PMI Paintball Gun Oil, be used
for lubricating the marker. Do not use any oil aside from paintball marker oil or you run the risk
of ruining the O-rings.
1. Before each insertion of the removable air source (tank or remote line) into the ASA, clean the
threads and put two drops of oil onto them.
2. After removing the bolt/hammer assembly, clean off any paint or dirt. Put 1 drop of oil onto
each O-ring. See Figure 13. Only replace the Blue Hammer O-ring (#35) with another Blue
Hammer O-ring, or the marker will not re-cock properly.
3. Before screwing the barrel onto the marker, clean the barrel threads.
4. The fastest way to oil the entire Piranha
®
is to take off the barrel; put 6 drops of oil into the
ASA (#43), screw the bottle in over the oil, and shoot the marker a dozen times without the
barrel.
5. There is no need to ever oil the inside of the barrel. Oil in the barrel will decrease accuracy.
DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
1. Before disassembling the marker, first remove the air tank, and then remove all paintballs from
the marker, barrel, and loader.
Figure 10. Remove field strip pin to begin disassembly.

2. Leave barrel plug firmly inserted in
barrel and keep barrel pointed in
a safe direction.
3. To remove the bolt/hammer assembly,
first remove the field strip pin. See
Figure 10. The field strip pin is at
the center rear of the receiver and is
removed by pulling it out of the
left side of the marker.
4. Grasp the block assembly and slowly begin to pull the bolt/hammer assembly out of the marker.
See Figure 11.
5. When the bolt/hammer assembly is about halfway out, grasp it with one hand and continue to hold it
intact while removing it completely from the marker. See Figure 12.
