    Why does the velocity drop off when firing multiple shots with my Empire Paintball equipment?
    • U
      uchenAug 23, 2025
      If your Empire Paintball equipment's velocity drops off during rapid firing, the air tank may not be fully screwed into the regulator ASA. Ensure the air tank is completely screwed in. If the gauge on the regulator drops significantly and recovers slowly after the first shot, this indicates insufficient screwing in of the air tank.

    What to do if my Empire Paintball equipment doesn't fire?

      William WilliamsAug 25, 2025
      If your Empire Paintball equipment doesn't fire, first ensure the marker is turned on and that there is a paintball in the chamber. Also, the trigger may need adjustment. Check the LED light on the back of the foregrip; while holding the trigger, the LED should stay red in the background and not be red when the trigger is released. If it's not, the trigger may need adjustment.

    Why is my Empire Paintball equipment regulator slow to recharge?
    • J
      Jasmine HortonAug 27, 2025
      If your Empire Paintball equipment regulator is slow to recharge during rapid firing, where the first shot has full velocity but subsequent shots decrease substantially, and the regulator gauge drops significantly and recovers slowly, ensure your air tank is fully screwed into the regulator ASA. Do not stop as soon as the marker pressurizes; continue turning until the tank stops. Alternatively, install the air tank empty and have it filled by a professional while installed to ensure maximum airflow.

    Why is my Empire Paintball equipment regulator leaking from bottom plug?
    • K
      Kenneth MillsAug 27, 2025
      If your Empire Paintball equipment regulator leaks from the bottom plug, the regulator pressure is likely set too high and needs to be lowered. The plug on the underside of the regulator is an over-pressurization relief. If the regulator is set to 200 psi or less and the leak persists, try turning the plug cap slightly clockwise until the leak stops.

    What to do if Empire Paintball equipment doesn't fire with eyes turned off?
    • R
      Rebekah VegaSep 18, 2025
      If your Empire Paintball equipment doesn't fire with eyes turned off, the trigger may need adjustment. Check the LED light on the back of the foregrip; it should stay red when the trigger is held and be off when released. If not, adjust the trigger. The solenoid may also be improperly connected or need resetting. To reset it, with the eyes off, pull the trigger repeatedly until the solenoid clicks with each pull, but no more than 10 times.

    How to fix Empire Paintball equipment regulator pressure spikes?
    • S
      Sarah BellSep 15, 2025
      If the regulator pressure spikes in your Empire Paintball equipment, it might be adjusted too high. Remove the brass adjustment screw and try installing the air tank again. If the needle reads 0, reinstall the screw and turn it until the needle reads 200 psi. If the needle still climbs, the regulator cap may be incorrectly installed; reset it by loosening the locking screw, turning the cap counter-clockwise one full turn, then turning it in until it contacts the plunger, backing out 1/4 turn, and tightening the locking screw.

    Why does Empire AXE Paintball equipment fire multiple balls from only one shot?
    • J
      Joseph LangSep 18, 2025
      If your Empire Paintball equipment fires multiple balls from one shot, the loader may be forcing paintballs too hard into the marker, causing them to bypass the ball detents. Clean the ball detents with a cloth, and add grease to their outer surface to prevent sticking.

    Why does my Empire Paintball equipment leak sometimes while shooting multiple shots?
    • L
      Leslie ClaytonSep 7, 2025
      If your Empire Paintball equipment leaks sometimes while shooting multiple shots, the poppet may be sticking open. Clean the old grease from the poppet O-ring and apply fresh grease. If that doesn't help, replace the poppet O-ring and apply fresh grease. Another cause can be that the battery may be low, so replace it with a fresh brand-name alkaline 9V. Also, the solenoid may be sticking open. If the pressure is set to 200 psi or less, the solenoid may be filled with dirt and/or grease. Do not attempt to disassemble the solenoid. Only a trained technician should do this. Attempting to disassemble the solenoid will void the warranty. Take it to a trained technician for service or contact Paintball Solutions.

    Why does my Empire Paintball equipment fire multiple balls from only one shot?
    • H
      hollowaystevenSep 5, 2025
      If your Empire Paintball equipment fires multiple balls from only one shot, the loader might be forcing paintballs too hard into the marker, causing them to go past the ball detents. Remove both ball detent covers and clean the ball detents with a cloth. You can also add some grease to the outer surface of the detents to ensure they aren't sticking within the covers. Also, detents sticking can cause this issue. Remove both ball detent assemblies and clean the ball detents with a cloth. You may also add some grease to the outer surface of the detent to make sure they are not sticking within the detent cover.

      To address scratches on the bolt of your Empire Paintball equipment, the spring may be damaged, which can negatively impact performance. It is recommended that a trained technician repair or replace the main spring.
