MAINTENANCE
The EnvyTM has been designed with
simplicity in mind so that you can
concentrate on your game instead of your
marker. It has only one major moving part
in its valve system, with a minimal number
of seals. This DOES NOT mean that you
should neglect your EnvyTM. If you take care
of it off the eld, your EnvyTM will take care
of you on the eld. For best performance,
clean and grease your EnvyTM frequently.
Many players disassemble and clean their
EnvyTM after every day of use. While this
may seem a bit extreme, being vigilant in the
upkeep of your EnvyTM will extend its useful
life considerably, and catch any problems
when there is time to correct them before
the next game. Playing in the rain will not
damage your EnvyTM. In fact, the EnvyTM.
has been tested and proven to function
underwater. However, long-term exposure
to moisture can cause rust damage to some
of the EnvyTM’s screws, so if your EnvyTM
should become waterlogged, remove the
barrel, stock and rubber grips and allow
it to dry out, then follow the disassembly
instructions for full cleaning. Clean out mud
and paint with a damp cloth and alcohol.
Lubricate the EnvyTM ONLY with GR33SETM
pneumatic grease. Use fresh, high quality
paintballs for best performance.

BARREL BLOCKER/HOPPER
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
BARREL BLOCKER
The Barrel Blocking Device is a critical piece of paintball safety equipment - nearly as important as
paintball goggles. The Barrel Blocker serves to protect against accidental discharge of a paintball by
catching it before it can cause harm. A Barrel Blocker is included with the EnvyTM and must be used every
time it is handled in an area where people or property are not properly protected by paintball goggles or
paintball eld netting. To use the Barrel Blocker simply slip it over the end of the barrel and stretch its
cord back over the back of the EnvyTM or the rearmost part over which it can be securely looped. Use
the strap’s adjuster to cinch the strap tight, so that the Barrel Blocker can provide protection against
accidental discharge of a paintball.
The Barrel Blocker should only be removed when the EnvyTM is on a “live” paintball eld and all persons
involved are wearing proper paintball protection.
HOPPER
The EnvyTM is a high performance tournament grade paintball marker. Its low-force bolt will often prevent
paintballs from being chopped if the hopper is not able to load paintballs as fast as the EnvyTM is
being red. If you want to realize the EnvyTM’s maximum repower potential, especially if it is upgraded
with a circuit board that utilizes an anti-chop eye for higher rates of re, you will need to use a high
performance loader. High performance loaders, especially those which provide force-feeding, will yield
the best results with the EnvyTM.
The EnvyTM is equipped with a clamping feedneck that allows it to adapt to the small size differences
in hopper neck sizes, yet lock or release quickly. Using a 7/64-inch allen wrench, loosen the clamping
feedneck before installing a hopper. If the hopper is a tight t, a at bladed screwdriver may be used to
further spread the gap in the feedneck clamp, provided the clamp screw has been loosened enough.
The EnvyTM may also be congured so that the hopper is located to the right, left, or directly above the
center of the marker. See the Advanced Maintenance Section of this manual for instructions to change
or reposition the feedneck.

GASES
NEVER PUT OIL IN A COMPRESSED AIR REGULATOR OR
TANK - ONLY APPLY MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED
LUBRICANTS.
GASES
TM
The Envy
is a low-pressure paintgun. It operates at approximately 160 psi, which means it is capable of
functioning well with either high-pressure compressed air or CO2 as a power source. Proper set up of your
gas system will help you obtain the best possible performance from your EnvyTM.
Whether using compressed air or CO2 it is important that the EnvyTM is not exposed to sudden “pops”
of pressure. Always turn-on or screw-in a compressed air system or CO2 slowly, so that the valve opens
slowly, and the gas pressure inside the marker is raised smoothly. Be gentle to the internals of your EnvyTM
and they will reward you with a long service life.
High Pressure Air systems (HPA) are the preferred power source used in paintball as they are unaffected
by temperature uctuations and do not have the potential for liquid problems. HPA systems consist of
a tank and a regulator, and are typically rated to store air or nitrogen at pressures of 3,000 or 4,500 psi.
Although pure nitrogen is almost never used in paintball, many players call compressed air “nitro” as air
is made up of more than 70% nitrogen, allowing the two gasses to be used interchangeably in paintball
equipment.
The Envy
TM
is congured for use with screw-in style HPA systems. Although HPA systems pre-set to
deliver approximatly 400 psi (low output) will work with the EnvyTM, 800 psi (high output) systems are
preferred, to reduce the risk of gas starvation under rapid re.
Never use oil or any petroleum based cleaner or lubricant in a compressed air regulator or tank. Exposure to
pressurized air increases oil’s ammability and can cause a serious safety hazard. Only use manufacturer
recommended lubricants with compressed air systems, and follow the manufacturer’s maintenance and
operation instructions explicitly.
If you are using your EnvyTM with an adjustable output compressed air system, it should be set to deliver
about 800 psi. The EnvyTM’s vertical regulator can accommodate a wide range of input pressures, so
exact adjustment of the air system is not critical.
NOTICE
Due to shipping restrictions, CO2 and HPA tanks are sold empty. They must be lled before they can be
used. Most paintball shops and elds are equipped to ll HPA tanks. Paintball shops, elds, many hardware
stores and sporting goods stores will have the equipment and trained personnel to ll paintball CO2 tanks.
FIG. 3
HPA TANK BEING FILLED
NOTICE
TM
The Envy
is factory congured for use with
CO2. Its dwell setting must be changed to obtain
optimum performance with HPA. See the Firing
Modes / Dwell section of this manual to learn how.
NOTICE
Although the EnvyTM can be powered by
compressed air, typical home, garage or industrial
air compressors cannot provide the high pressures
required to ll a paintball HPA tank. Paintball HPA
systems can be relled by paintball elds and
stores which use higher pressure compressors
similar to those used in the SCUBA and reghting
industries.

GASES
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
USING CO
CO2 is usually not recommended for electronic paintball markers. This is not the case, however with
the EnvyTM. As long as it is set up properly, the EnvyTM can function extremely well with CO2 as a power
source. In fact, because of its extremely low operating pressure, the EnvyTM has been shown to operate
on CO2 continuously under heavy re conditions where older design blowback mechanical markers fail.
The use of CO2 will not damage the seals in the EnvyTM, freeze or cause damage to its circuit board.
The important thing to remember if using CO2 is that best performance can be achieved when only
gasseous CO2 is fed to the EnvyTM, and liquid CO2 remains in the tank.
Although the relief valve integrated into the EnvyTM’s vertical regulator provides the marker with
protection from pressure spikes, those pressure uctuations can cause poor performance, and
temporary blockage of the EnvyTM’s solenoid valve.
The bottom-line ASA tting on the EnvyTM places the CO2 tank at an angle. When the marker is held
in typical ring positions, gravity will keep the liquid CO2 away from the tank valve, preventing it from
feeding into the marker.
Alternative CO2 arrangements include placing the CO2 tank vertically in a pack, and using a paintball
CO2 remote hose to feed CO2 to the EnvyTM. This arrangement not only prevents liquid CO2 from entering
the marker, but also makes the marker assembly lighter weight.
Anti-siphon CO2 tanks contain a J-shaped tube that draws gaseous CO2 from the top of the tank
when it is in a horizontal position. Anti-siphon tubes must be professionally installed, to ensure that
critical safety checks are performed during valve installation. If using an anti-siphon tank, the EnvyTM’s
stock bottom-line ASA tting should be replaced with an ASA that will place the tank completely horizontal. Anti-siphon CO2 tanks should not be used with remote hoses.

The bottom-line ASA tting on the EnvyTM can be removed by unscrewing the two industry-standard
10-32 mount screws holding it to the grip frame. If replacing the ASA, be sure the model chosen
takes into account the type of gas system being used (horizontal for anti-siphon CO2 tanks, angled for
standard tanks).

BATTERY
OVER TIME BATTERIES MAY LEAK. ALWAYS REMOVE THE

TM
WHEN STORING FOR FOR MORE
BATTERY
TM
The Envy
is powered by a standard 9-volt alkaline battery. Lower cost “heavy duty” batteries will not
consistently deliver the amperage needed to operate the EnvyTM. Erratic performance, especially drops in
velocity or skipped shots during rapid re can result from a battery that is not delivering full power.
The EnvyTM is also compatible with 9-volt rechargeable batteries. Because specications of batteries
vary widely from brand to brand, use of any rechargeable battery will require testing to determine if it
can power the EnvyTM reliably. Some NiCD “9v” rechargable batteries actually operate at 7.2 volts. These
types of batteries will not work well with the EnvyTM.
Any time the EnvyTM exhibits erratic performance, drops velocity or skips shots while rapid ring, does not
shoot or does not turn on, the rst step in troubleshooting should always be to replace the battery with a
brand-new, name-brand alkaline battery.
To replace the EnvyTM battery, use a 5/64-inch allen wrench to remove the two screws from the left side
of the rubber grip, then open the grip. Remove the old battery, taking care not to bend, kink or strain its
wires. Unsnap the battery from its connector by pulling on the connector, not the wires. Snap in a fresh
battery, then place that in the grip frame, tucking the wires into place, before closing and re-securing the
grip.

PAINT/VELOCITY
NEVER ADJUST THE EnvyTM TO FIRE ABOVE 300
FEET PER SECOND, AS SERIOUS INJURY MAY
RESULT.
PAINT
Even the best quality paintballs will vary in size from one batch to the next and as weather conditions
change. While your EnvyTM will work well even with a poor paint to barrel t, optimal performance will
be achieved with a proper t.
The ideal t between the paintball and the barrel is when the ball is inserted in the bore (the end that
screws into the EnvyTM) and does not slip or roll through to the muzzle (the business end) on its own.
The ball should sit in place, even when the barrel is pointed straight down. If the paintball can roll out
on its own, the t is too loose. The ball should be able to be expelled from the barrel by blowing it out,
like a blowgun, using a minimal amount of breath. If the ball is difcult to blow through, the t is too
tight, which can lead to ball breakage.
VELOCITY
The velocity, or speed at which a paintball is red from the EnvyTM, must be measured and adjusted to
below the paintball eld’s velocity limit immediately before each day of play (for player safety). If CO
is used, velocity should be checked and adjusted multiple times during the day. In an area where it is
safe to re paintballs, while wearing ASTM compliant eye and face protection for paintball, re three or
four shots over a chronograph to measure the velocity at which the paint is being red.
If velocity adjustment is necessary, Use a 5/32-inch allen wrench on the adjuster in the bottom of the
vertical regulator, turn clockwise to increase the velocity/pressure, and counter-clockwise to decrease.
Take three or four shots after every adjustment to allow the gas pressure inside the EnvyTM to stabilize.
Adjust until the marker is ring consistently within the limits for the eld where you are playing. For
safety reasons, never adjust the EnvyTM to re at greater than 300 feet per second (91.44 meters per
second).
