Auto-Trigger
The Empire Sniper paintball marker is equipped with an Auto-Trigger. To use the Auto-
Trigger, hold the Trigger in while pumping the marker. Each time the handle is pumped
a paintball will be fired from the marker.
5. MARKER ADJUSTMENT
Always check the velocity of the marker prior to playing paintball. Different playing
fields may have different maximum velocity limits, check the regulations at your local
field. At no time should your marker shoot at velocities above 300 feet-per-second
(91.44 meters-per-second).
