WARNING
Always keep the Barrel Blocking Device installed except
when your marker is in use. Always make sure that the
Trigger Safety is in the Safe mode (see instructions
on page 6) and the Barrel Blocking Device is properly
installed on your marker according to the instructions to
prevent damage to property, serious injury, or death.
Barrel Blocking Device Installation Instructions
1. Place the Barrel Blocking
Device onto the Barrel,
loop the cord over the
top of the receiver, and
position at the back of the
grip as shown.
2. Adjust the cord length
retainer up to the back
of the grip by pulling the
cord through it until the retainer is snug against the back of
the grip. Keeping the cord as tight as possible, leave just
enough cord elasticity to pull the cord/retainer up over the
top of the marker to remove the Barrel Blocking Device for
ring.
3. After the cord length is properly adjusted, lock the cord
length by tying a knot in the cord against the back of the
retainer as shown.
4. Before and after playing, inspect the Barrel Blocking Device. Replace the Barrel
Blocking Device if the device or cord is damaged, or there is a loss of cord elasticity.
5. Clean the Barrel Blocking Device with plain, warm water and store out of sunlight in a
dry area when not in use.
WARNING
This is not a toy. Misuse may cause serious injury or
death. Eye, face, and ear protection designed for paintball
must be worn by the user and any person within range.
We recommend you be at least 18 years old to purchase.

SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!
WARNING
Except when your launcher is in use,
always make sure that the Trigger Safety
is in Safe mode, and that the Barrel
Blocking Device is properly installed (see
page 4).
To turn ON the Trigger Safety (Safe
mode), push in the safety (see arrow) as
shown.
To turn OFF the Trigger Safety (Fire mode), push in the safety from
the opposite side of the receiver.
The ownership of this weapon places upon you the total responsibility for its safe and lawful
use. You must observe the same safety precautions as you would any rearm to assure
the safety of not only yourself but everyone around you. Outlined here are some general
precautions to be aware of. The user should at all times use caution and common sense when
using this marker and always remember that the game of paintball can only survive and grow
if it remains SAFE!
• Do not load or re this marker until you have completely read this manual, and are
familiar with its safety features, mechanical operation, and handling characteristics.
• Handle this and any marker as if it were loaded at all times.
• Keep your nger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
• Do not look down the barrel of a paintball marker. Accidental discharge into the eyes
may cause permanent injury or death.
• Keep the marker in Safe mode until ready to shoot (see Warning box above).
• Keep the Barrel Blocking Device installed on marker when not shooting (page 4).
• Never point the marker at anything you do not intend to shoot.

• Never re your marker at anything you do not intend to shoot because there may be
balls or foreign debris lodged in the chamber, barrel, and/or the marker valve.
• Do not shoot at fragile objects such as windows.
• Never re your marker at personal property of others. The paintball impact can
cause damage and the paint can stain the nish of automobiles, houses, etc.
• Always keep the muzzle pointed down or in a safe direction, even if you stumble or fall.
• Eye, face, and ear protection designed specically to stop paintballs in the form of
goggles and full face mask meeting ASTM Specication F1776 must be worn by the
user and any person within range.
• Never shoot at a person who is not protected by eye, face, and ear protection
designed for paintball.
• Pressurize and load the marker only when the marker will be immediately used.
• Store the marker unloaded and degassed in a secure place.
NOTE: Before storing or disassembling, be sure to remove paintballs and air/CO2
supply (see Unloading Your Marker and Air/CO2 Cylinder Removal instructions
on pages 10 and 14) and install the Barrel Blocking Device (see page 4).
• Do not eld strip or otherwise disassemble this marker while it is pressurized with
air/CO2 supply.
• Dress appropriately when playing the game of paintball. Avoid exposing any skin
when playing the game of paintball. Even a light layer will absorb some of the
impact and protect you from the paintballs.
• Keep exposed skin away from escaping gas when installing or removing air/CO2
cylinder or if the marker or air/CO2 supply is leaking. Compressed air, CO2, and
nitrogen gasses are very cold and can cause frostbite under certain conditions.
• Only use .68 caliber paintballs. Never load or re any foreign objects.
• Avoid alcoholic beverages before and during the use of this marker. Handling
markers while under the inuence of drugs or alcohol is a criminal disregard for
public safety.
• Avoid shooting an opponent at point blank, 6 feet or less.
• Familiarize yourself with instructions listed on air supply cylinder or adapter. Contact
the air supply cylinder or adapter manufacturer with any questions.
• Read the Air/CO2 Cylinder Warnings and Safety Tips on pages 13–14 before
beginning the cylinder installation or removal.
• Always measure your marker’s velocity before playing paintball and never shoot at
velocities in excess of 300 feet per second (see instructions on page 10).
• Do not brandish or display this product in public as it may cause confusion and may
be a crime. Police or others may mistake this product for a real rearm. Altering the
coloration or markings required by state or federal law to make the product look
more like a rearm is dangerous and may be a crime.

For Markers without E-Trigger, continue with Step 3 below.
For Markers with E-Trigger, rst read E-Trigger Operating Instructions
on pages 10-13 before completing step 3 below.
3. Air/CO2 Cylinder Installation
Read the Air/CO2 Cylinder Warnings, Safety Tips, and Removal on pages 13-14 before
beginning the cylinder installation. Do not pressurize a partially assembled paintball marker.
a. Put the Trigger Safety in Safe mode (page 6) and install the Barrel Blocking Device
(page 4).
b. Cock the marker by pulling the Rear Bolt Handle all
the way back. Always keep marker in the cocked
position when attaching the air supply and whenever
the air supply is attached to the marker. This will
help prevent an accidental discharge.
c. Lubricate the air/CO2 cylinder valve O-Ring with Tippmann Certied Marker Oil.
d. Insert the air/CO2 cylinder valve into the Air Supply Adapter (ASA) at the back end
of the marker grip.
e. Twist the air/CO2 cylinder clockwise into the ASA until it stops. Use caution as the
marker is now capable of ring after you put the Trigger Safety in Fire mode. If you
do not hear the full air/CO2 cylinder engage, the pin valve could be too short or the
pin valve seal is damaged. Follow the Air/CO2 Cylinder Removal instructions on
page 14 and take your air/CO2 cylinder to a “C5” Certied Airsmith for inspection or
contact the cylinder manufacturer.
4. Loading the Hopper
The Barrel Blocking Device must be installed (see page 4) and the Trigger Safety in Safe
mode (see page 6).
a. Make sure that the Hopper is clean and free of sharp edges or debris. This keeps
the paintballs from breaking prematurely, and allows paintballs to feed into the
marker’s chamber smoothly.
b. Install the hopper neck into the Feed Elbow of your marker and tighten the Hopper
with a 3/16” Allen wrench included with your marker. NOTE: Do not overtighten or
the Feed Elbow may break.
c. With the Barrel Blocking Device installed (page 4), and the Trigger Safety in Safe
mode (page 6), you are now ready to load your hopper with .68 caliber paintballs.
Do not force an excessive number of paintballs into the hopper.
5. Rate of Fire Adjustments
For markers with E-Trigger, read and follow E-Trigger Operating Instructions (on pages
10-13) before performing step 6.
For markers without E-Trigger, go to step 6 below.
6. Firing the Marker
a. Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person
within range.
b. Point the marker in a safe direction.
c. Remove the Barrel Blocking Device from the marker.
d. Verify that the marker is cocked.
e. Move the Trigger Safety from Safe mode to Fire Mode.
f. Pull the Trigger to re the marker.

Velocity Adjustment
Each time you play paintball, check the velocity of your
paintball marker with a chronograph (an instrument
for measuring velocity) prior to playing paintball. Verify
that the marker’s velocity is set below 300 feet per
second (or less if required by the playing eld).
To adjust the marker’s velocity, use the included
3/16” Allen wrench in the center of the Velocity Screw
(Figure 4).
Reduce the velocity by turning the Velocity Screw clockwise. To increase the velocity, turn the
Velocity Screw counterclockwise. Never remove the Velocity Screw.
Unloading Your Marker
1. Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person
within range.
2. Empty all paintballs from the hopper or remove the entire hopper.
3. Go to a designated ring area, remove the Barrel Blocking Device, and move the
Trigger Safety to Fire mode.
4. Point your marker in a safe direction and re several times to be sure there are no
remaining paintballs lodged in the chamber, feed neck, or barrel.
5. Push the Trigger Safety to Safe mode (see page 6).
6. Reinstall the Barrel Blocking Device (see page 4).
7. Read the Air/CO2 Cylinder Warnings and Safety Tips on pages 13-14 before
removing the air cylinder from your marker (see removal instructions on page 14).
E-Trigger Operating Instructions
Read and follow the E-Trigger Operating Instructions completely before installing the air
supply cylinder as directed in step 3 on page 9.
READ EACH STEP COMPLETELY BEFORE PERFORMING THE STEP.
WARNING
Install the air supply and load the hopper with paintballs only after
you have:
• Put the Trigger Safety in Safe mode ( see page 6)
• Install the Barrel Blocking Device (see page 4)
• Have successfully installed the battery (step 2 on page 11) and
you are familiar with the E-Trigger operation (step 3 on page 11).
Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person within
range.
