What's in the Box?

My gun is the BlackViper M92 version, those of you with the Beretta M92F, gas powered one or BlackViper Elite, the boxed may vary. Also mine was bought in a shop, not online, so that also may vary.

Anyway, in my box:
- Instruction manual (but no-one reads them!)
- Gun
- Magazine
- 100 BBs ( I would strongly advise you do NOT use these, as they are cheap faulted BBs and may jam your gun.)

Loading the Pistol

1 ) Take the magazine out of the gun by pressing the small, round button an the left side of the gun on the grip. (Picture 1, 2)

2 ) Pull down the spring on the magazine's left side until it holds. (Picture 3)

3 ) Press the button on the top of the mag and hold (Picture 4)

4 ) Put BBs in the magazine. (Picture 5)

Step 4 can take a while, but you will soon get used to quickly feeding BBs into the mag.

5 ) DO NOT RELEASE THE SPRING ON MAGAZINE! The gun automatically does this for you. Simply place it back into the gun all the way , with a series of clicks.

Safety

The safety switch is located on the right side of the gun, half way down the barrel. The switch has a left and right. On the left it says 'S' , this is safety ON, and you cannot pull the trigger. Flick the switch to th right to unblock the trigger.

You are now ready to destroy some targets!

Preping the Gun

To prep the gun, hold the gun in your holding hand, (usually your stronger hand). For an easy, fast way to load the gun, point down and twist your hand knucles up. With your left hand grab the muzzel (end of the barrel) of the gun and pull upwards, until the hammer goes back and a loadish click is heard. Once you are accustomed to the gun you will get a feel for when the gun is cocked.

Firing

This is the most obvious bit of airsoft, firing! Its easy, aim and pull the trigger!

Unjamming - If You Must!

My gun has never jammed, but if it comes to it, a great feature about this gun is that you can unjam it without taking the whole thing apart!
1 ) Flick the swith on the left side of the gun (opposite the safety) down

2 ) Make sure the magazine is OUT OF THE GUN then pull the trigger and slide the top og the gun forwards

3 ) Flip the top part of the gun over and pull the spring, then pull the small white door. If a BB is jammed, it will be in there.

To put back togetther, reverse these processes.
TIP: after doing this, make sure the gun is unloaded then cock it and fire, just to check its all working still.

Finally...

This gun is poweful! Do not fire at anyone CQ, who is unaware or unprotected!

I would highly recommend this gun to anyone! Its great for newbies, target practice in the garden, but it would also work as a secondary in a skirmish. It's one of the most powerful spring pistols around.

Enjoy! :D
