380 FAQ

How Do I Operate the 380?

  1. Place the pistol on safe.
  2. Press the magazine release button on the left side and remove the magazine.
  3. Slide the grip to the rear to expose the CO2 port.
  4. Ensure the CO2 screw is fully unscrewed.
  5. Add a drop of recommended oil to the tip of the CO2 cylinder, then insert it. Screw in the CO2 until pierced and sealed. Do not overtighten.
  6. To load the magazine:
    • Pull the follower down until it locks into place.
    • Avoid bumping the protruding nub at the bottom of the magazine while loading.
    • Tilt the magazine downward and insert up to 20 BBs.
    • Place a finger over the end of the magazine and pull the nub toward you to release the follower.
  7. Insert the magazine into the pistol until it clicks. The pistol is now ready to fire.
  8. When you are done using your 380, remove the CO2 cylinder. Never leave a CO2 cylinder installed, doing so will wear out your seals and void your warranty.

How Do I Use the Sights Correctly?

Align the front sight within the rear notch with the target resting on top of the alignment.

  • The sights are fixed, so if the point of impact differs from the point of aim:
    • Clean the barrel.
    • Experiment with different brands of BBs for improved accuracy.

How Do I Disassemble the 380?

Important: Tampering with the gun may void its 1-year limited warranty. For questions, contact [email protected].

Disassembly Instructions:

  1. Remove all seven screws on the right side of the gun.
  2. Slide the rear grip panel back to expose and remove two additional screws underneath.
  3. Remove the screw under the barrel at the front of the gun.
  4. Carefully pull the gun apart:
    • Pull the top of the gun back (as if racking the slide) and slowly lift the back of the gun's top section.
    • Be cautious—pieces, including the barrel spring, may come loose or "fly out" during disassembly. Proceed slowly to avoid losing parts.

How Do I Replace the Seal Assembly?

  1. Disassemble the gun (see instructions above).
  2. Remove the old seal assembly and replace it with the new one.
  3. Reassemble the gun by following the disassembly steps in reverse.

Alternative Option:

  • If disassembly seems too complex, you can replace just the seal inside the old assembly:
    • Unscrew the inside section near the seal.
    • Replace the damaged seal with the new one provided.

Note: Reassembly may be tricky due to the barrel spring. For assistance or questions, contact [email protected].
