NOTE: Eye protective devices designed specifically for paintball
use must be worn by the operator and anyone within range.
Read this entire manual before loading, attaching a propellant source or in any way
attempting to operate the BT-16.
Barrel Installation
1. While pointing the marker in a safe direction,
make sure that it is degassed, with hopper
removed, no paintballs are in the feed port or
the breech and the safety is set to “safe”.
2. Place the threaded end of the barrel into the
front opening of the marker body.
3. Turn the barrel clockwise into the marker, until
it stops (do not over tighten).
4. Adjust the barrel accessories if necessary.
5. Install a barrel blocking device. This can be a
barrel plug or other such device that prevents
the accidental discharge of a paintball.
Air Cylinder Installation
1. Make sure the barrel blocking device is properly installed and the marker safety is set to “safe”.
2. While pointing the marker in a safe direction, cock the marker by pulling the T-handle located
on the top rear of the marker all the way back until it stops.
3. Release the T-handle and allow it to slide all the way forward.
4. The marker is now cocked.
5. Locate the air cylinder adapter. The BT-16 Elite cylinder adapter is located at the base of the
pistol grip. Other models have the air cylinder adapter located below the center of the marker
and just in front of the trigger guard.
6. Turn the marker so that the air cylinder adapter is pointed upwards while keeping the muzzle
of the marker pointed in a safe direction
7. Insert the threaded cylinder valve end into the adapter.
8. Without pushing the cylinder, twist the cylinder clockwise and allow the threads to draw the
cylinder into the marker, until it stops. Your marker is now charged
.
Air Cylinder Installation
Loader Installation
1. To install loader check vertical feed adapter
and loader to make sure they are free from
debris and obstructions.
2. Place the feed neck of the loader into the
adapter all the way in until it stops.
3. Align the loader so that the lid is in the rear and
the loader is parallel with the marker.
4. Twist the locking ring of the feed adapter clockwise until it is snug.
5. You are now ready to load the marker with
paintballs.
Velocity Adjustment
1. Always check the velocity of the marker prior to playing paintball. Different playing fields may
have different maximum velocity limits. At no time should you shoot at velocities above 300
feet per second.
2. Put on an eye protective device designed specifically for paintball and make sure that anyone
within range of the marker does the same.
3. While pointing the marker a safe direction, remove the barrel blocking device.
4. Point the marker over a chronograph that will measure the velocity of the paintballs discharged
by the marker.
5. Set the trigger safety to “fire”.
6. Pull the trigger and check the reading on the chronograph.
7. Locate the velocity adjuster screw on the center of marker opposite the name plate.
8. Using a 5/32 hex key, turn the screw Inward or clockwise to reduce the velocity, and outward
or counterclockwise to increase the velocity of the paintballs discharged from the marker.
DO NOT REMOVE THE VELOCITY
ADJUSTMENT SCREW.

Proper storage of the marker
When you are finished using the marker it is important that you properly store it. This
will not only serve to increase the life of the marker and result in reduced maintenance
requirements, it will be in keeping with important safety procedures.
Unloading
1. Put on an eye protective device designed specifically for paintball and make sure that anyone
within range of the marker does the same.
2. Make sure the barrel blocking device is properly installed and the marker safety is set to “safe”.
3. Loosen the loader locking nut.
4. While holding the paintball hopper in place, invert the marker so that the hopper is below the
marker.
5. Remove the hopper and all paintballs.
6. While pointing the marker in a safe direction, remove the barrel blocking device and set the
safety to “fire”.
7. Keep the marker pointed in a safe direction and pull the trigger several time to insure there are
no balls remaining in the chamber or the barrel.
8. Properly re-install the barrel blocking device and set the safety on “safe”.
Removing The Air Supply
Cleaning the marker
Once the marker is unloaded and the air cylinder is removed you can use a damp cloth to wipe
off paint, oil, dirt, and debris. You can also use warm water to rinse the marker clean. Once your
marker is clean and dry you can re-oil it using a light premium marker oil such as Hoppes #9 marker oil. To oil the marker put a few drops on the front bolt, rear bolt, linkage arm, trigger and sear.
To access the rear bolt and linkage arm you must remove the top plate (see marker disassembly
section).
Disassembly and field stripping
(MARKER MUST BE UNLOADED, DEGASSED AND UNCOCKED BEFORE ANY
DISASSEMBLY)
Remove The Barrel
Unscrew the barrel from the marker by turning the barrel counterclockwise until it is
removed from the marker.
Trigger Frame Removal/Pivot
The trigger frame may be removed or may be pivoted out of the way without removing.
To pivot the trigger frame, remove the rear trigger frame retention pin and tilt downward
while leaving the front pin in place.
1. Make sure the barrel blocking device is properly installed and the marker safety is set to “safe”.
2. Point the marker in a safe direction and turn the cylinder counter clockwise or out _ of a turn.
This allows the cylinder valve to close without damaging the cylinder O-ring.
3. While pointing the marker in a safe direction, disengage the safety (set to “fire”).
4. Keeping the marker pointed in a safe direction, pull the trigger until the remaining CO2 or air is
expelled and it fails to re-cock.
5. Unscrew the cylinder from the marker.
6. The marker is now ready to be cleaned or put a way for future use.
Always store the marker in a secure location when not in use so as
to prevent access by unauthorized persons.
1. To remove the trigger frame, remove both retention pins and pull the trigger frame down and
away from the receiver.

Removal of Cylinder Adapter
NOTE: Air source must be removed for this procedure
1. Using a flathead screw driver, turn the
cylinder adapter screws counterclockwise
and remove them.
2. The cylinder adapter will pull directly out
of the marker and valve assembly.
Top Plate Removal
(If marker is equipped with a carrying handle it must first be removed by loosening the
carrying handle screws)
1. Using a 5/64 hex key wrench remove the top plate screw.
2. Pull the top plate and the T-handle simultaneously towards the rear of the marker and lift off
until top plate can be lifted off the marker.
Removal of T-handle, Bolt Rod and Rear Bolt
1. Remove the T-handle spring retainer which is located at the top center of the marker.
2. Pull the T-handle back and up to remove it from the rear bolt.
3. Turn the marker upside down and remove the bolt rod(you may have to shake the marker to
get the rod to fall out).
4. Pull the rear bolt out of the back of the receiver.
Removal of Valve, Valve Tube, and Front Bolt
1. Screw the velocity screw all the way in.
2. Pull the valve, valve tube, and front bolt out of the back of the marker.
Removal of Barrel Adapter
and Ball Retainer
Removal of Rear Cap or Rear Stock

removed. This procedure will also allow you to remove the drive spring, drive spring pin,
and bolt buffer.
1. Using a 5/64 hex key, remove the bottom
plate screws.
2. Pull the bottom plate directly off the bottom
of the marker.
3. Using a flathead screwdriver remove the ball
retainer (large brass fitting).
4. Loosen the barrel adapter screw located in
front of the ball retainer with a 5/64 hex key
by turning it counterclockwise at least 2
turns.

Reassembly
To reassemble the marker reverse the Disassembly instructions starting with the valve,
valve tube, and front bolt. While reassembling the marker you should oil all O-rings and
sliding parts. All parts and O-rings returned to the marker should be free of debris and
visual nicks and scratches which can alter the performance of the marker. All screws
returned to the marker must be tightened so there is no chance of them vibrating loose.
