How do you properly clean a paintball gun?

How much for my paintball gun?

• I'm gonna put an ad on the weekly paper thing and I want to know how much I can get for this I'm hopeing I can get 50 bucks at the least 40 bucks. I have this paintball gun that I bought from a friend for 40 bucks. I don't know much about paintballing but it looks like a good gun it's a Piranha gun because it has that label on the side at the end. It also says it is made by PMI. I don't know what that mean tho. Anyways can anyone tell me if I can get more than 50 or 40 bucks for this or if it's worth less than 40? Helpful answer will be given 10 points. Thank you.

• Answer:

  Piranhas were not made by Spyder. They were made by PMI. PMI is now owned by KEE, which is the same company that owns Empire, JT, WGP, Invert, RPS, Viewloader, Diablo, X.O, and Extreme Rage. Of course, KEE just uses the Empire brand name for most stuff now. Empire still makes a version of the Piranha, called the ER3. What you have is a PMI Piranha, which does operate much like a Spyder, so the prices are pretty comparable. But price can vary depending on if it's an electronic Piranha, or a mechanical Piranha. Electronic means it can shoot faster, and may have different firing modes, but uses a battery. Mechanical has no modes aside from semi, and you can't really shoot fast with it. Electronic, i'd say $50 tops. Mech, i'd say $30 tops.
