i recently purchased the Tippmann A-5 and played pball all day over the weekend. my gun ended up getting hit a few times and now has paint in places hard as hell to reach. my question is, is my gun waterproof to the point where i can run it under water to get all the paint out of the creases, cracks and even in the insides. its non E-Grip and just has the built in cyclone. if this isnt the way the clean the gun how should i go about it?

well, it's as water resistant as any other tippmann marker...lol.
 
Spray bottle with warm water and some QTips/toothpicks should do nicely

is it completely water proof then?

no.. its not
water can still get inside the gun and cause it to rust

a 50/50 water/alcohol mix with a spray bottle and q-tips should do the trick, just make sure to oil the gun thoroughly afterwards

best solution is to disassemble the gun and do that.
