Yeah basically your only problems would be water in the barrel, wet paintballs, Wet electronics(E-Bolt, hopper)

It depends on the gun.  Most it won't do anything, but if you have an electronic gun, it will most likely ruin that.  It will also ruin an electronic hopper.  The paint will be ruined, and you will have to either throw it out or shoot it soon after that.  You'll also have to wipe out the gun and take the internals out and let it dry.

before the E-bolt, a guy On Tippmann Effect would take his 98 swimming with him.

You can take a mag swimming with you. As long as its aired up, it wont affect the gun at all. You could even fire it underwater.(i think)

u can play in the rain (if u have no electro) but the barrel is very inaccurate. and leave ur hopper closed so they dont get wet. but i dont know about completely submerged.

Im actualy thinking about taking my Mag underwater and shooting paint. But I would think the paint would break as soon as it were fired from the fast acceleration and heavy resistance of the water. I think I may try that this summer. If I do Ill record the whole thing.
