Tips on Using CO2 with Airguns
	Tips on Using CO2 with Air Guns To increase seal life and ensure a good seal, apply one drop of RWS Chamber Lube (also available in the RWS Shooter's Kit for gun maintenance) or other airgun lubricant on the tip of the CO2 capsule before inserting into the airgun. 88 gram CO2 capsules can be screwed in too tightly. Tighten only by hand. If CO2 does not fill the airgun, the capsule may be too tight. Loosen by 1/4 turn. Do not leave a CO2 capsule inserted into your airgun when not in use. Doing this will decrease the life of the airgun's valve seal. Do not leave CO2 capsules in direct sunlight, the extreme heat may cause an explosion. Do not leave them in a vehicle where temperatures exceed that of the natural outdoors. Use good quality CO2 that is clean to prevent clogging your airgun's valve. Read more about this.
