If so, there's not much you can do that wont destroy the gun if you dont know how to take it apart.

If it's already a hopeless cause, and I think it is, may as well try this;

Get a bucket, fill it with water that is as hot as you could stand it without burning yourself or melting the plastic.
Put the entire gun and magazine in there.
Hope the paint and whatever crap dissolves.

Remove the gun, dry everything out quickly (you could try compressed air for that). Add a smear of silicone oil on the moving parts, and pray.

Adding details about your location in your profile is just a matter of courtesy, nobody here reads minds.
pulled the gun out of storage today, i had been using only BBs in it, decided i'd try the 6mm paintball, and on shot 2, she jammed. so the paintball has been stuck in it for less than 24 hours at this point

as far as the profile goes, i just slapped the account together in a hurry to try and ask my question quickly before work, i'll update it soon
