OPERATION

The

DEFIANT 2

a slotted bolt receiver that is attached to a dual pressurized machined slider (RAM),
and is controlled by the solenoid (An electronic 4-way valve control). The newly designed,
encapsulated ram sleeve features two chambers (one toward the front and one toward
the rear). The back of the chamber is pressurized to move the bolt forward, and the front
is pressurized to move the bolt backward. This allows for very low cycling pressure, as well
as much less cocking recoil.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The

DEFIANT 2

managed solenoid control, anti-chop eyes (ACE), dedicated low and high pressure regulators,
and unique patented pending modular ram sleeve.

The field strippable pull pin bolt is connected to a slotted bolt receiver that is attached to
a dual pressurized sliding ram. This ram is held within the encapsulated ram sleeve located
in the lower tube of the body. The low pressure regulator supplies air through the lower tube
of the body, through the valve, through the front barb, to the front barb of the solenoid. Upon
activation, the solenoid redirects alternating pressure through the rear barbs, from the
chamber in front of the ram to the back chamber behind the ram. The forwar
will then strike the poppet, opening the main valve which releases high pressure regulated
air up through the transfer port and into the upper tube of the body. The pull pin connected
bolt pushes the paintball into the breech while simultaneously redirecting the charge of air
to propel the projectile (paintball) to its target.

Marker is a solenoid controlled open-bolt design. The bolt is locked onto

REGULATORS

Included with the DEFIANT 2 are 2 High-Flow Regulators. The Low Pressure Regulator (LPR
uses a standard 1/8 inch hex key for adjustment, while the High Pressure Regulator (HPR
uses a standard 3/16 inch hex key for adjustment. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to
increase pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease pressure.

LOW PRES SURE RE GULATOR

The low pressure regulator is mounted towards the front of the Marker under the barrel. It
controls the cycling pressure of the Marker. The ideal operating pressure should be between
85 – 95 PSI. NEVER EXCEED 100 PSI AS OVER-PRESSURIZING CAN DAMAGE SOLENOID. The
low pressure regulator is not used for velocity adjustments but for cycling pressures only.

HIGH PRE SSURE REGULATOR

The high pressure regulator (also called the inline regulator) is the vertical regulator that screws
into the bottom of the ASA Receiver. All velocity adjustments are done with the High Pressure
Regulator. Typically, pressures vary from 200 PSI to 280 PSI depending on chronograph speed.

AMMUNITION ASPECTS

H O PP ER

The DEFIANT 2 requires a high feed rate of paintballs to make full use of its features.
To satisfy this need, the use of a motorized loader is recommended.

PAINT

Using top grade paint ensur

es the utmost in per

formance and accuracy.

GAS CONFIGURATIONS

)

Preset and Adjustable Tanks

A Compressed Air System also known as a Nitrogen Air System is the recommended propellant air
source for operating the
be set between 400 & 500 PSI, and Preset Tanks should be low pressure or 400 PSI output, however
a high pressure system is acceptable.

Co2

Co2 IS NOT the recommended propellant for the DEFIANT 2. You should only use a Compressed
Air System to operate your DEFIANT 2. When attaching air system hose fittings to your Marker,
DO NOT USE TEFLON TAPE. Use a thread sealant such as Loctite 545 instead.

GETTING STARTED

Maintenance for the DEFIANT 2 is very simple.

The Bolt should be lubricated sparingly with TRI-FLOW. Lubricating once a day or when dirty will
increase the life of the Ball Detents and also eliminate bolt drag.

The Ram or “Hammer” should be greased every 5000 shots with DOW 55. First degas your Marker.
Next, remove Bolt and Encapsulated Ram Sleeve Assembly, then remove the E-clip securing the
threaded Bolt Pin Receiver and Delrin Spacer and unscrew both. Next, unscrew the End Cap from
the Encapsulated Ram Sleeve and Ram will slide out of the rear of the Sleeve. Clean inside of Ram
Sleeve with a Q-tip and grease the internal O-ring located at the front end of the Ram Sleeve with
DOW 55, grease the Rear Ram O-ring and reassemble.

The Low Pressure Regulator Piston and the High-Pressure Regulator Piston O-rings should be greased
every 10,000 shots. Performing this simple maintenance will increase the life of the O-rings and keep
the Marker per

for

DEFIANT 2. If you are using an Adjustable Tank the output pressure should

ming at the highest level possible.

BATTERY INFORMATION

The DEFIANT 2 uses a standard 9v battery. To change the battery, remove the Left Rubber Grip Panel,
then remove the 4 allen screws securing the two Trigger Frame halves. You’ll notice the battery
fits into the bottom of the grip frame. Disconnect the old battery and re-connect the new.

WARNING!

At this time it is good to verify screws are not protruding through the bottom of the grip and into the
interior components. Failure to do so may result in damage to the battery and/or Circuit Board.

ANTI- CHOP EYES

The DEFIANT 2 incorporates a Break Beam, Anti-Chop Eye system, commonly referred to as
the ACE system. The ACE system consists of a set of sensors mounted near the bottom of
the breech to restrict firing until a ball is completely loaded into the breech. Always operate
the DEFIANT 2 with the eyes on. Failure to do so will more than likely result in broken paint
in the breech. The Transmitter Eye can be identified by the red and black wires and metal
casing. The Receiver Eye can be identified by it’s blue and black wires and black plastic casing.
Both Eyes run onto a single wiring harness. Always inspect ACE System wiring and harness
upon removal to ensure there is no damage present. If there is damage to either the wiring and/or
harness the Eyes should be replaced to ensure the ACE system does not fail during operation.
