    Why does my Empire MINI shoot more than once per trigger pull?
    • L
      Lisa BrownJul 27, 2025
      There are a few possible reasons for this: * The battery may be low, so replace it with a fresh Name brand alkaline 9-volt. * The trigger may need adjustment. Ensure the trigger has sufficient travel both before and after the activation point.

    Why does my Empire MINI fire multiple balls per shot?

      Karen RamirezJul 31, 2025
      Here’s what might be happening: * Ball detents may be sticking open. Remove both ball detent covers and clean the ball detents with a cloth. You may also add some grease to the outer surface of the detents to ensure they aren't sticking within the covers. * The loader may be forcing paintballs too hard into the marker. Try a different loader, such as the Empire Magna Drive Loader. If using a Halo series or Empire Reloader B series loader, try installing an Empire Magna Clutch Upgrade Kit.

    Why is the Empire Paintball equipment regulator slow to recharge?
    • M
      Miranda TurnerAug 5, 2025
      If during rapid firing the first ball comes out of the barrel at full velocity and following shots decrease substantially, watch the gauge on the Mini regulator to see if the needle drops down significantly and is slow to come back to the set pressure. This is typically the result of not screwing your air tank in enough. When screwing your air tank into the Mini’s regulator ASA, it is important to not stop as soon as the marker pressurizes, but to continue turning until the air tank stops. It is also acceptable to install the air tank when it is empty, then have it filled by a professional while it is installed. This will ensure that you get the maximum air flow from your air tank.

    What to do if the Empire MINI regulator leaks from bottom plug?
    • J
      juliedanielAug 9, 2025
      The plug on the underside of the regulator is an over-pressurization relief. If it is leaking, most likely the regulator is set to too high of a pressure and needs to be lowered. If the regulator is set to 200 psi or less and the over- pressurization relief is still leaking, it is possible to turn the plug cap just a small amount in the clockwise direction, until the leak stops.

    What to do if Empire Paintball equipment breaks paint in the chamber?
    • T
      Thomas WoodAug 17, 2025
      Here are a couple things to check: * Ensure the eyes are turned on. Only fire paintballs with the eyes on. * The paintballs may be of low quality or brittle. Perform a paintball drop test. On a level, smooth, hard, outdoor surface like concrete or asphalt, drop ten paintballs one at a time from about 5 feet high. If more than 3 out of 10 break, the paintballs are bad and shouldn’t be used.

    Why does my Empire Paintball equipment sometimes leak while shooting?

      The following could be the reasons: * 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. * Battery may be low. Replace the battery with a fresh Name brand alkaline 9-volt. * Solenoid may be sticking open. If the solenoid is sticking open occasionally, the regulator pressure may be set too high. If the pressure is set to 200 psi or less, then the solenoid may be filled with dirt and/or grease. See Maintenance section for instructions on how to clean the solenoid.

    How to fix constant chamber leaks in Empire MINI Paintball equipment?
    • H
      hrichNov 12, 2025
      There are a few potential causes: * Poppet may need to be reset. To reset the poppet, remove the gas source from your Mini. Gently turn the velocity adjuster all the way in until it stops. Then gas up your Mini. If the leak has stopped, proceed to back out the velocity adjuster 3/4 of a turn, then measure velocity with a chronograph and adjust as needed. If a small leak continues upon backing out the velocity adjuster, the air passage through the poppet may be blocked, or the poppet seal face may be worn and needs to be replaced. * Solenoid may need to be reset. To reset the solenoid, with the eyes off, pull the trigger repeatedly until the solenoid makes a clicking sound again with each trigger pull, but do not pull the trigger more than 10 times, as this can damage the solenoid.
