Warning
This paintball marker is not a toy. Misuse or mishandling can result in
serious injury or death. Every person within range of a loaded paintball gun
must wear eye protection specifically designed for paintball. It is
recommended at least 18 years of age to purchase, 14 years old to use
with adult supervision or 10 years old to use on paintball fields meeting
ASTM standards F1777-97. Ensure you read the entire instruction manual
before operating your marker.
Warranty
Bob Long Technologies warrants our paintball markers to be free from defect in materials and
workmanship for a period of 1 year from purchase date. This warranty will only be honored for the
initial retail purchaser and is non-transferable. Wear items such as batteries and seals are not
covered under warranty. Main PCB, electro-pneumatic solenoid, eye PCB’s and wire harnesses will
be covered under warranty for a period of 6 Months from purchase date.
This warranty does not cover:
> Any system failure resulting from the use of a non-authorized propellant. The only authorized
propellants are nitrogen or compressed air.
> Dam age to electro-pneumatic solenoid resulting from external air source regulation failure. The
use of an external regulated air source is your choice, so research well and choose wisely.
> Dam age to electro-pneumatic solenoid from foreign objects, specifically Teflon® tape.
> Surface damage such as scratches, nicks, or dings.
> Improper disassembly or re-assembly.
> Improper lubrication. The only authorized grease for maintaining a Bob Long marker is
Molykote® 55 made by the Dow Corning Corporation (Dow 55). Authorized oil is limited to Triflow® or any other synthetic oil made specifically for maintaining a paintball marker.
> Modification or any other alteration of a marker or its parts. Dremels, acid, most things involving
a show on the Bravo network or HGTV fit in this category.
> Misuse of any conceivable kind. Yes, letting a hipster use your marker may damage your
warranty.
This warranty is limited to repair or replacement of defective items with the initial retail purchaser
to pay shipping costs. The initial retail purchaser must enclose a copy of the original sales receipt
with the marker to be repaired for this warranty to be honored.

Introducing the G6R
The sixth generation Intimidator platform, G6R, brings new advances to the stacked tube poppet
valve marker . These advances include the front/rear split body and int ernally routed, macroline
free air channels. The front/rear split enables more choices in milling, internal air routing, and
weight reduction than standard one piece designs. Internally routed air channels prevent the
failures possible in macroline systems and allow more hand positioning options for YOU when
switching hands. The G6R is designed, machined, and built in the USA.
Ready for the Field
While the G6R is tournament ready out of the box, certain components may be upgraded for
increased performance.

Trigger Adjustment and Maintenance
The G6R comes with a roller bearing trigger which you can adjust for the feel which is most
comfortable with your style of play. To simplify maintenance the trigger can be removed from the
marker without requiring the removal of the grip frame.
1. The G6R has two adjustment screws.
The bottom screw is for trigger posttravel and the top screw adjusts the
activation point (where the marker
fires). To adjust the screws insert a
hex key and turn the screw. The
screws have Loctite to prevent the
adjustment from slipping so a firm,
steady pressure is needed for the
initial adjustment.
2. To remove the trigger begin by
removing the trigger pivot pin
3. If the trigger spring encounters
resistance when partially removed it
may be catching on the micro switch
of the control board. Simply push up
on the spring with a hex key and it
will slide free.
4. Use swabs dipped in alcohol to clean
any residual paint or grime from the
trigger area. If necessary open the
grip panels and clean inside the frame
as well.
5. When reinstalling the trigger press up
on the spring slightly to prevent
snagging the microswitch.

Maintaining the Eyes and Detents
In the event of a chopped ball or debris in the breach, the eyes in your G6R may need cleaning. The
most common ways for debris to enter the ball chamber is through the hopper when using a rapid/
speed feed type system. Tournament grade balls may break in the stack if the loader applies too
much pressure.
1. Remove the eye cover screw using a 5/64”
hex wrench, then remove the eye cover.
2. Remove the detent and spring by pressing on
the detent from inside the chamber.
3. Carefully unscrew the PCB retaining screw.
(Phillips head)
4. Gently tilt the eye PCB away from the body of
the marker.
5. Use a cotton swab to clean the surface of the
eye, the eye holes, detent and detent hole.
Dampen the swab with alcohol if necessary.
NOTE: If removing the eyes from the wiring
harness unplug the harness from the eye PCB
by pulling on the white plug and not the
wires. Pulling on the wires could potentially
damage your harness.
6. After the eye, detent, and mounting area have
been sufficiently cleaned, reinstall the PCB
and reinstall the PCB retaining screw and eye
cover.
• The 4C eye system will allow for higher rates
of fire through quicker cycling times.
• To det ermi ne w hether the 4C eyes are
installed refer to the picture to the right. The
4C eyes have more components as well as the
number 4 silk screened onto the PCB.
• The standard Delrin detents ca n be replaced
with Super Ds - an upgraded Type III
anod ized detent set. I f Super Ds are used, the
sides of the detents must be greased lightly.
Also, Super Ds must be rotated slightly each
time the eyes are cleaned in order to ensure
even w ear.

Maintaining the HPR (In-Line-Regulator)
Your G6R comes equipped with the best regulators on the market. To ensure the highest
consistency and the maximum flow possible, we recommend that you clean and lubricate them
according to the maintenance schedule or whenever you encounter inconsistency. The regulators
typically perform flawlessly for many cases of paint before requiring any maintenance.
1. Degas the marker and ensure that there
are no paintballs in the breech or barrel
of the marker.
2. Unscrew the bottom half of the regulator
from the marker. Note that the top half is
factory tightened and should not be
removed.
3. Reach into the regulator base with
tweezers or needle nose pliers to remove
the regulator piston.
4. After the piston is removed turn the
regulator base upside down and tap the
spring stack and spring follower into your
hand. The picture to the right shows the
regulator body, spring stack, and p iston.
5. The main valve located in the top portion
of the regulator which is still connected to
the marker does not need to be rem oved
from the marker body or serviced. Never
replace or attempt to service a working
main valve.
6. Inspect the surface of the piston and
piston o-ring for excessive wear or nicks
and replace as necessary.
7. Inspect the interior walls of the regulator
base. Use a swab on the interior of the
regulator base to clean debris and old
grease.
8. When reassembling the spring follower
(spring stack assembly) make sure that
the top and bottom spring washers curve
to the outside. A close up of the spring
assembly with the retaining o-ring is
shown to the right. The retaining o-r ing
does not require lubrication
If in doubt – just stack the spring washers
like this:
)()()()(
9. Grease the piston o-r i n g th e n gently
replace the spring follower (spring stack
assembly) and piston into the regulator
base. There is a concave area around the
o-ring that holds additional lube and
reduces the need for frequent
maintenance. Reassemble the regulator
to the marker.
