Operation
The MARQ Series Marker is a solenoid controlled, enclosed, inline open-bolt design. The bolt is directly
affixed onto a dual pressurized machined slider that is controlled by the solenoid (An electronic 4-way
valve control). The back of the chamber is pressurized to move the bolt forward while simultaneously striking
(opening) the poppet valve, while the front of the chamber is pressurized to move the bolt backward. This
allows for very low cycling pressure, as well as much less cocking recoil.
General Description
The MARQ is a low pressure operating, enclosed, inline, open bolt, electronic Marker, featuring microchip
managed solenoid control, anti-chop eyes* (ACE), dedicated low and high pressure regulators attached to a
sculpted body. The bolt is directly affixed to a dual pressurized sliding ram. This ram is held within
the inline firing mechanism/chamber within the body. The low pressure regulator supplies air to the
front barb of the solenoid. Upon activation, the solenoid redirects alternating pressure through the rear of
the body, from the chamber in front of the ram to the chamber behind the ram. The forward shifting ram will
then strike the poppet, opening the main valve which releases high pressure regulated air through the front
of the volume chamber and through the bolt which pushes the paintball into the breech while simultaneously
sending the charge of air to propel the projectile

to its target.
