OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
GETTING STARTED
Read this entire manual before using this launcher. Keep your launcher pointed in a safe direction at all times.
1. SAFETY - Place the T8.1 in safe position by moving safety so no red is visible. The safety is ambidextrous and can be operated from either side of the T8.1.
* Visible red indicates that launcher
will discharge.
2. UNLOADING MAGAZINE - Ensure that there are no projectiles in your marker by placing your hand under the magazine, pressing the magazine release, and pulling the magazine free from the T8.1.

PROJECTILE FOLLOWER
3. REMOVING THE BARREL - Ensure that there are no
projectiles remaining in the marker by removing the magazine and looking through the grip into the breach. Then you can remove the barrel by pressing on the end of the barrel and rotating it counterclockwise. Note the channel in the barrel and the barrel lock in the receiver as it slides free. To reattach the barrel, line up the channel with the barrel lock, slide the barrel back in the receiver, push on the end of the barrel, and turn clockwise until the barrel locks into place. Pull on the end of the barrel to ensure it is properly seated.

4. LOAD PROJECTILES - Place 8 projectiles into the
magazine from the top. The projectiles will be held in place automatically by the projectile retainer pin. You can also lock the ball pusher in the down position by pulling down on the ball pusher ears and locking them at the bottom of the ball pusher track.

FOLLOWER EARS
5. LOADING C02 CARTRIDGE - Obtain a 12 gram CO2
cartridge. Insert the CO2 cartridge into the CO2 slot of the magazine with the small end of the CO2 cartridge pointing up and into the puncture pin of the magazine. Next, rotate the flip knob base screw clockwise quickly until the cartridge has sealed.
LOAD PROJECTILE
RED SPRING/SILVER SPRING
When using First Strike™ projectiles, make sure the red magazine spring is installed. The silver spring is designed for use with traditional .68 caliber paintballs. While the red spring can be used with traditional .68 caliber paintballs, its higher tension increases the risk of the paintballs deforming over time.
LOADING FIRST STRIKE
Always load First Strike projectiles so rounded nose exits barrel first. Always chronograph with First Strike before use to ensure velocity is below 300 fps.

FIRING THE T8.1
1. If the CO2 cartridge has been punctured by the puncture pin and the magazine has
been inserted into the gun, then the T8.1 is now ready to fire. Point the T8.1 in a safe direction, rotate the safety so red is visible, and pull the trigger.
NOTE: Extra magazines can be carried for quick reloads in the field.
UNLOADING THE T8.1
1. Place T8.1 in the safe mode and point in a safe direction. If all projectiles have been
fired, place hand under magazine and press magazine release with other hand. Catch magazine so it does not fall on ground. Visually inspect the magazine well to ensure all projectiles are clear from the T8.1. Visually inspect the projectile view port to ensure all projectiles are clear.
2. If all projectiles have not been fired, follow above procedures but ensure that
you turn the T8.1 on its side while removing the magazine. The projectile that is in
8. LOAD MAGAZINE - Place the magazine in the grip of the T8.1 marker with the projectiles closest to the end of the barrel. Once the mag has started into the grip, seat it completely until has been secured by the magazine release.
NOTE: If magazine does not lock on first insertion, remove it completely and reinsert.
the chamber will be free and can fall on the ground if the T8.1 is kept in a vertical position. Place your hand under the magazine well and capture the loose projectile as you turn the T8.1 vertically.
3. Pull back on the projectile retainer pin to remove the projectiles from the magazine and turn the flip knob base screw counterclockwise to free the CO2 cartridge from the magazine.
4. Your T8.1 should now be free of any projectiles. Verify the T8.1 is on safe and store in a safe and secure location.
SET VELOCITY
1. Insert provided 3/16” Allen wrench as depicted.
2. To increase velocity, tum clockwise. To decrease velocity
turn counter-clockwise.
3. Fire once to clear chamber after each adjustment, then
measure velocity of the second shot.
SAFETY TIP: Always measure marker’s velocity before playing paintball. Never shoot at velocities in excess of 300 ft/s (91 .44 mls). Recommended velocity is 270 ft/s.

If you experience more than a small number of broken paintballs, check the following:
1. First, be sure that the marker is free of broken paintballs and other debris.
2. Second, make sure that the barrel is locked in its correct position, and that both detents are installed so that they catch a projectile as it enters the breach.
3. Third, make sure the maker is set to a reasonable velocity (never over 300 ft. per sec.)
4. Check bolt assembly. Remove bolt from upper receiver and check for bad o-rings or debris
5. Check magazine for debris.
6. Load rounds in magazine (without CO2 cartridge installed) and engage PROJECTILE RETAINER PIN - confirm that rounds can be ejected from the magazine without issue.
