Answer 1

There are many places for o-rings to go in on a paintball marker. The easiest would probably be the gas tank o-ring which is what you are most likely asking about. An easy way to tell is to s***w your gas tank into the gun and listen for a hissing sound. If you hear a hissing sound, then chances are that it is your gas tank o-ring that needs replacing. With the gas tank o-ring all you have to do is pick the old o-ring off, using something small and pointy, a scribe normally works best here or just use your fingernails. Then take the new o-ring which you purchased from almost any good hardware store and pull the new o-ring over the indented area where the old o-ring was located. Test this out by s******g your gas tank into your gun and again listening for the tell-tale hissing sound.

You shouldn't need to go to any paintball store or field, you should be able to do this at home. Its a quick, easy and simple job.

Hope this helps.

Short answer: Yes. Probably will cost $.50 tops if that's where the leak is coming from.

Answer 4

There are multiple o-rings to a paintball gun. sounds like the one you are talking about is the one that goes on the tank itself. If so, that one is the easiest to change, you can pick up new o-rings pretty much anywhere paintball supplies are sold (i.e. wal-mart, local shops or fields, etc.), they usually come in a pack of 10 or so and are pretty cheap. just use a pick or something to remove the old o-ring and put the new one on. buy some oil for the o-rings, too. I'm pretty sure you can handle that lol.
