Step 4
- Pull the trigger to release the air in the gun.
- Pressurized air can be forceful, causing particles to be ejected from the gun into your eyes and/or skin. When air bubbles enter the bloodstream, they can block blood vessels, causing embolisms. To avoid this, make sure to point the gun in a safe direction when pulling the trigger because air will be released from the gun.
