COMPRESSED GAS/AIR

Do not leave cylinder or pressurized marker in direct sunlight or exposed to heat source. Increased

temperature will increase the pressure of compressed gas or air to dangerous levels. Piranha usually

needs 650 p.s.i. to cycle and attain correct velocity.

All paintball markers must be chronographed regularly. Adjust marker to shoot paintballs at a velocity

that is less than 300 feet-per-second (fps) and/or that does not exceed the velocity limit set by the

paintball park where the marker is in use.

Chronograph the marker at regular intervals during the day, as well as any time the air source is refilled

or changed, any time the barrel or any part in the marker is changed, and upon request of

any player or game official.

1. Chronograph the marker using standard chronograph procedures and following safety rules. Shooting

velocity will vary based upon many factors, such as paint, weather, and air system.

2. Adjust velocity by using a

16" allen wrench to turn the velocity adjuster. See Figure 6. Turn adjuster

clockwise to raise velocity. Turn adjuster counter-clockwise to lower velocity. See Figure 7. Turning the

velocity adjuster changes the amount of tension on the hammer spring. The hammer spring may be

changed for additional velocity adjustment; insert stiffer spring to raise velocity and less stiff spring

to lower velocity (spring tension in order of strongest to weakest: red, blue, white). See next page for

more about springs.

3. Chronograph the marker after every velocity adjustment.

4. Chronograph the marker at regular intervals during the day, as well as any time the air source is

refilled or changed, any time the barrel or any part in the marker is changed, and upon request of

any player or game official.

VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT SPRINGS

The hammer spring assembled with the Piranha

paintball marker is intended to provide appropriate

shooting velocity for most outdoor paintball game situations and will provide a range of velocities

suitable for most conditions. Shooting velocity will vary based upon form of regulated compressed gas

or air used to power the marker, outside temperature, and other factors.

DO NOT EXCEED A VELOCITY OF 300 FEET-PER-SECOND (fps).
