I have a Wrath LTD which is very similiar and sand and dirt in the breach from the bolt isn't really a problem. Sand and dirt can work it's way into the ram sleeve below the bolt easily because of the design but there's really only one o-ring down there that makes an active moving seal and I don't see that being a large issue. Because any dirt that manages to work it's way back to the sealing surfaces of the rammer should be swept out with the next shot. Though that could lead to premature o-ring wear or failure which would cause inconsistency and inefficiency though. Remove the backcap and clean up the rammer and ram sleeve after you play paying attention to the o-rings and you should be fine. Now it's a massive amount of dirt/sand then the rammer may not be able to complete it's movement smoothly and that would cause problems but that would pretty much require burying the gun in the sand/dirt. Because your Slayer doesn't have the side window that the Wrath LTD has the ability of dirt/sand to enter the lower chamber is significantly reduced compared to mine. Clean it up after you play and you shouldn't have problems.
