QUICK SETUP
Empire Driver XX Barrel
The Empire Driver XX Barrel is included with the Empire Vanquish marker. The Driver XX is a
two-piece barrel that consists of a front section (tip), a back section (back) that has four siz-
ing options. The different sized backs are used to match the size of the paintball to the barrel
and create the most accurate and efficient barrel system available.
To determine the correct bore size:
1. Assemble the barrel and choose a sized barrel back.
2. Select 5 – 10 paintballs of the same type you will be using to play
3. Place a ball into the end of the barrel
a. Tip the barrel, if the ball rolls through without any outside force, switch to a smaller
bore size. The barrel backs have the size engraved onto the end of each one (sized
.678, .683, .688, .693)
b. If the ball barely fits into the barrel and you can’t blow it out (easily) switch to a larger
bore size.
4. When the ball is blown out of the barrel listen for a small pop sound. If you can blow the
ball out of the barrel without blowing hard you should have a good ball-to-bore match.
Note: The more you exhale through the barrel, the more moisture can accumulate within the barrel back
and affect your testing. If you notice that the ball is starting to stick, or see a buildup of moisture, clean
and dry the barrel before continuing with the selection of bore sizes.
BARREL INSTALLATION
• The Vanquish and the supplied Driver XX barrel use Autococker threads.
• Insert the threaded end of the barrel tip into the open section of the barrel back.
• Make sure the Vanquish is de-gassed, loader removed, no paintballs in the feedneck or
breech, and the marker is turned OFF prior to installing barrel.
• While pointing the marker in a safe direction, place the threaded end of the barrel into the
front opening of the marker.
• Turn the barrel clockwise until it stops (Do not over tighten).
• Install the included barrel-blocking device. This can be barrel bag or other such device that
prevents accidental discharge of paintballs.
