An air gun loses its effectiveness when oil inside of the firing chamber becomes sticky and adheres to the chamber. You can make your air-powered rifle more powerful by lubricating the insides of the air chamber and barrel, which is called "dieseling." You will need a few parts from a hardware store and about an hour to complete the process. You do not need to take apart the air-powered gun, so the warranty will not be affected.
