When i say water proof i dont mean soaking it in a pool for 8 hours.
Isi t ok to clean it with water and then let it dry out? Will this rust

The reciever halves are aluminum so you can do that, but it must be a full tear down. The steel internal parts may not like it. I just tear mine down, wipe it out, oil and reassemble. |

There is very little made of steel in Tippmanns. They are mostly aluminum. It won't hurt anything to use water to clean the gun out, but I'd still recommend stripping it down and getting some lube on the moving parts. That way, you also make sure you have all the paint/dirt/shells and other random debris cleaned out, and not in a position to hang up the action next time you play.
