WARNING
The ImpulseTM Paintball Marker is not a toy. Misuse or careless use may cause serious injury or death. The user and any person within range must wear eye protection designed for paintball use. Recommended to be at least 18 years old to purchase, 14 years old to use with adult supervision, or 10 years old to use on paintball fields meeting ASTM standard F1777-97. Read operation manual before using. Always use a barrel blocking device when not involved in actual play. When gassing and de-gassing the marker's system, never aim the marker at another person. Always point the barrel towards the ground. Never use over-filled CO2 bottles as this will "spike" the system causing the hoses to burst. Do not attempt to lighten or alter the trigger assembly in any way, doing so will void your Smart Parts warranty. This includes any modifications such as: spring removal, installing or adjusting set screws, and/or removing material from the trigger.
IMPORTANT - Dry-Firing Your ImpulseTM
It is recommended that you do not dry-fire (fire without paint) your Impulse. The Impulse has a low pressure design, which makes the marker more accurate, and decreases ball breakage. Because of its low pressure design, the marker requires a paintball in front of the bolt to produce back-pressure, which makes the mark- er re-cock. If you must dry-fire the Impulse, remove the barrel and place a rag over the front portion of the marker where the barrel screws into. This will simulate the paintball and create the required back-pressure to re-cock the marker. If the Impulse is fired without anything in front of the bolt, the bolt will remain forward and allow air to continuously drain down the barrel. If the bolt remains forward after firing the marker with paint, increase the inlet pressure and decrease dwell settings.
The Impulse Paintball Marker
The Impulse is an electro-pneumatic paintball marker designed to fire at a low operating pressure (150-200 psi) to reduce ball breakage and increase accuracy. Power is supplied to the marker by a standard replaceable 9 volt alkaline battery that is housed in the grip frame. Paintballs are propelled by C02 gas or compressed air, that is regulated by the Max-Flo regulator which supplies the required low pressure airflow at a high volume. The Impulse consists of three main assemblies:
Body
The Body consists of two inter-linked systems; the Bolt and the Firing System, which also includes an air transfer port. The Bolt is contained in the upper chamber, which is connected to the hammer in the lower chamber by the bolt pin. The function of the bolt is to load paintballs into the breech of the marker and to transfer the air from the valve to the ball in order to propel it.
Solenoid Housing
The solenoid housing serves three functions. First, it encloses and protects the solenoid; second it holds the circuit board, and third it connects the body and the grip frame.
