Empire Paintball has created the finest paintball marker in the proud history of Empire products. The Vanquish is the pinnacle of intelligent marker design incorporating cutting edge technology within a proven marker platform.
Rules For Safe Marker Handling IMPORTANT: Never carry your Empire Vanquish uncased when not on a playing field. The non-paintball public and law enforcement personnel may not be able to distinguish between a paintball marker and a firearm. For your own safety and for those in the area and to protect the image of the sport, always carry your Empire Vanquish in the marker case or a suitable container. Safety and safe marker handling are the most important aspects of paintball sports.
QUICK SETUP Empire Super Freak Barrel The Empire Super Freak Barrel is included with the Empire Vanquish marker. The Super Freak is a three-piece barrel that consists of a front section (tip), a back section (back) and five sized, aluminum inserts. The inserts are used to match the size of the paintball to the barrel to create the most accurate and efficient barrel system available. The threaded sections of the Super Freak have O-Rings to prevent the barrel from vibrating loose when fired.

DE-PRESSURIZING YOUR EMPIRE VANQUISH • Make sure a barrel-blocking device is installed in/on the end of the barrel. • Turn the Empire Vanquish off using the D-Pad as explained above. • Remove loader and all paintballs from marker. • Flip the On/Off lever forward and allow the gas to vent from the regulator. • Air may remain within the marker once the regulator is vented.
Optional Soft-Shot Bolt You will notice that your Vanquish comes with 2 different Bolts. One Bolt is installed on your marker and the other was shipped as a separate component. The red anodized Bolt (not installed in the marker) is called the Soft-Shot Bolt. This Bolt is designed so that while in the firing cycle, the air is restricted from venting, so that when the Bolt returns, it hits an air cushion.
