Tips & Warnings
If you blow forcefully enough, the blow gun will allow you to shoot the paint ball up to 10 ft. Using the blowgun will take some practice; repetition will help in getting you used to the gun and increasing your distances. The blowgun only allows for the loading of a single paintball at a time. You will want to have something to carry paintballs around with as you use the device so that you can quickly reload during gaming.
This paintball blowgun is good for use in non-aggressive paintball ventures only. For more aggressive games and tournaments, a paintball gun is required. Never inhale when using the paintball blowgun. Do not use this device around other individuals or pets. Stay away from glass, houses and other structures. Do not overexert yourself when blowing into the paintball blowgun; you can strain muscles and risk injury.
