Net Gun Instructions
Everything you need to load, fire, reload and troubleshoot your net gun. Full owner's manual and troubleshooting video included. Still stuck? Reach us by phone, email or the contact form and we will walk you through it.
Quick Start
Already familiar with your net gun? Here is the whole firing sequence at a glance. Detailed steps follow below.
Load CO2
Remove the back cap. Insert a 16 gram CO2 cartridge.
Standby
Screw the cap on, stopping just before the white ring. Not charged yet.
Charge
Turn the cap to fully cover the white ring. The handle turns cool.
Switch On
Turn the trigger switch to the ON position. You are now live.
Fire
Aim at your target and press the gold button. The net launches.
Do not charge the net gun until you are actually ready to use it. A charged gun that sits loses power and can be damaged internally.
Net Gun Firing Instructions
Follow these five steps in order every time you prepare your net gun to fire.
-
Remove the back cap
Unscrew the cap at the base of the handle and set it aside.
-
Insert the 16 gram cartridge
Drop the 16 gram CO2 cartridge into the handle as shown in the reference photos below.
-
Screw the cap back to standby position
Screw the cap back on, but stop just before the white ring. This is the standby firing position and the gas has not been released into the handle. Keep your net gun in this position until you are ready to use it. The net gun is NOT charged at this point.
-
Charge the net gun
When you are ready to fire your net launcher, turn the back cap to completely cover the white ring. The gas will be released into the handle. You may not hear a sound, but the handle will become cool.
-
Switch on and fire
Turn the trigger to the ON position. Now you are ready to fire. Simply aim the net gun at your target and press the gold button. The net will then launch.
To fire again, turn the trigger switch to off, remove the net head, reset the trigger, place another net head in position, then remove the used CO2 cartridge and replace it with a new 16 gram cartridge.
Warning
Once the net gun has been charged, never attempt to remove the base cap or remove the cartridge. The net gun must be discharged (fired) first.
We suggest you do not charge the net gun until it is time to use the launcher.
Net Gun Firing Tips
Three things that solve most of the performance questions we get.
Do not puncture the CO2 cartridge until you are ready to fire the net gun. Puncturing the CO2 and then carrying it around for several minutes can cause the shot to not be as powerful, and can sometimes cause damage to the inside of the net gun.
If you feel as though the CO2 cartridge is not being punctured properly, try adding a penny to the bottom of the end cap. This will elevate the CO2 cartridge a little and allow for a better piercing.
From time to time, if you press the firing button but it seems like nothing is happening, try unscrewing the bottom cap by about a quarter turn. This will allow the CO2 gas to be released more easily and should allow the net gun to fire properly.
Reload Instructions
Repacking a fired net takes under a minute once you have the motion down.
-
Lay the net flat
Simply lay the used net flat on the ground.
-
Pinch and lift
Pinch the net in the middle and pull up, pulling the net together, with the ends of the net dangling toward the ground.
-
Seat the weights
Keep the net weights separate and place them in the corresponding holes.
Troubleshooting
Between shootings you will want to make sure the release valve, also called the baffle plate, is in the correct position.
The Problem
Your net gun fires, but the net seems to just barely fall out of the end of the net gun.
-
Switch off first
Make sure the switch is in the OFF position before you inspect anything.
-
Check the black pillar
Make sure the black pillar (pic 1) is out to stop the baffle plate (pic 2). The troubleshooting video below shows this clearly.
-
Check the rubber plug
If the black pillar is out and blocking the baffle plate, check the bottom of the section where you will see the black rubber plug (pic 3). The function of the plug is to stop the gas from leaking before shooting.
-
Reset and reload
Turn the switch to the off position, then connect to the gas container, take out the back cap to insert the cartridge, and you are ready to rock and roll.
