Operating Instructions
WARNING
Every person within range of this paintball marker must
wear protective goggles and headgear specifically
designed for paintball.
1. Before continuing with these instructions please refer to the section in
Chapter 2 on maintenance and lubrication (pg 16). Your marker should
first be properly cleaned internally & lubricated prior to firing to avoid
unnecessary wear or damage on the internals. After completing that
task, return to this section and continue with step 2 if you have the
WG65E (which comes standard with electronic trigger). If you have a
WG65 skip to instruction point 5 and continue.
2. Use the
supplied hex-
wrench tools to
unscrew the
two screws on
the trigger
frame on the
left side of the
gun –(the side
with the pressure gauge) and remove the trigger frame cover.
3. Use a rechargeable 9.6v battery to power the trigger frame. Insert the
battery into the frame, and ensure that no wires are loose, pinched or
unsecured before replacing the frame cover.
4. Turn the trigger frame ON, by pressing the mode button at the back of
the trigger frame one time -the green LED should light up. This
signifies that the marker is in SEMI shot mode. Pressing the MODE

ARMOTECH –THE PERFECT MARKER…THE PERFECT GAME
WG SERIES 4
button again will put the marker in 3-BURST mode. Pressing MODE one
more time will put the marker in FULL AUTO mode. To turn off the
trigger frame, press and hold the MODE button for a few seconds until
ALLLEDs are off.
5. Make sure the safe switch is in the SAFE position. On the WG65E push
the switch to the right to turn safe ON, or the left to put marker in
active firing mode. On the WG Semi, press the button on the trigger
frame to the right for SAFE ON, and to the LEFT (red ring should be
visible on the button) for SAFE OFF.
6. Attach threaded barrel firmly to marker.

ARMOTECH –THE PERFECT MARKER…THE PERFECT GAME
WG SERIES 5
7. At this time do not attach power source or loader, and do not load any
paintballs into the marker.
8. Insert barrel plug firmly into the barrel.
9. Pull the cocking handle (left side as illustated) straight back until the
cocking mechanism locks back in the cocked position
10. Turn the safety switch to the
FIRE position and then squeeze the trigger with an even pressure. The
cocking knob should snap forward into the un-cocked position. You
have just dry-fired your Armotech marker. Do this a few times until you
are comfortable with this operation and the feel of the marker when
cocking, and firing it.
11. Using the supplied hex-wrench make certain to properly tighten all
screws on your marker. These include the trigger frame, the secure
positioning screws on the powerfeed, and the lug inside the cocking
knob. Do not overtighten and take care not to strip ANY of these
screws. Tighten the screw holding the cockingknob–DO NOT TIGHTEN
THIS ALL THE WAY DOWN –IT CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SPRING.
12. Attach the loader or hopper to the powerfeed via the supplied elbow .
Some loaders may require their feed-necks to be sandpapered in order
for them to fit properly into the elbow or powerfeed of the marker. Do
not overtighten the screws on the elbow as you can crack it (its plastic)

Compressed Air/Gas
WARNING
The power system contains compressed gas or air
when pressurized. Never disassemble the marker until
removing ALL the gas or air from the power system.
Always keep hands away from escaping CO2 gas. It
can cause frostbite if allowed to come in contact with
skin.
•Before attaching any air or gas power source, read and understand this
section of the owner’s manual. Follow safety rules for handling
compressed air/gas. If any leaks occur in the power system, refer to
troubleshooting section or Armotech support. Use only cylinders for
compressed gas or air that comply with all applicable laws and
regulations, including but not limited to those of the US dept of
transportation, OSHA, Compressed Gas Association and/or American
Society for Testing and Materials.
•VERTICAL AIR: The power source is attached by screwing the threads of
the tank or power source adapter into the threaded ASA in front of the
trigger frame –you can screw it into the 90 degree adaptor, or remove
that and screw into the vertical ASA directly.
•When cocking the pressurized marker do not release the cocking knob
until after the cocking mechanism has locked back into the cocked
position. The marker is now ready to fire.
•Test for function –now that the power source is loaded and the marker
cocked, turn the trigger frame ON (for electronic triggers), and flip the
safety switch to the FIRE position and squeeze the trigger. The marker
should shoot air, and the cocking knob should cycle back to the cocked
position ready to fire again. Repeat this several times to get used to
the action of the marker. You have now fired your marker WITH loaded
power source.

WG SERIES 7
The ARMOTECH paintball marker may be powered by CO2, regulated
compressed air (HPA), or regulated nitrogen. From the source of gas or air
through the entire power system, there are varying pressures that are applied
to the marker and the components of the power system.
The marker requires a minimum of 450psi for proper operation –if you are
using CO2 please refer to the manufacturer’s information to learn how to
adjust, control and properly maintain your input pressure. The WG marker
doesnot havean inlineregulator system.
If you are using HPA please ensure that the HPA bottle regulator output is at
least 550 PSI.

WG SERIES 8
SAFETY RULES FOR HANDLING COMPRESSED
AIR OR GAS MUST BE FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES!
OPERATING PRESSURES AND INPUT PRESSURE
•Operating pressure range 450 p.s.i. to 1150 p.s.i. (Although some
markers have been known to operate at pressures as low as 330 p.s.i.
or pressures over 1200 p.s.i. it is recommended that the specified
operating pressure of the Armotech marker be used in order to avoid
problems.)
•Never exceed recommended pressures, as this may be dangerous to
you and damaging to the marker.
•Do not leave a pressurized marker or cylinder in direct sunlight or
exposed heat source. Increased temperatures will increase the internal
pressure of the compressed gas or air and could cause problems.
VALVE CYLINDER CONNECTION
•The Valve on a cylinder is to remain screwed into the cylinder. Should it
loosen, the cylinder may detach from the valve with an extremely
dangerous force.
•Every time a cylinder is filled, the connection between the valve and
cylinder must be inspected. If any looseness or leak is detected
between the valve and the cylinder, do not fill. Drain the cylinder and
have it inspected by qualified persons.
•During filling if any looseness or leak is detected between the valve
and the cylinder, filling should be stopped and the cylinder should
immediatelybe drainedtoavoid problems.
FILLING COMPRESSED AIR/GAS
•An overfill of any compressed air or gas cylinder can cause the safety
burst disk on the cylinder to rupture. A cylinder may rupture with
excessive force. Use properly rated disk only for the burst disk.
•A scale must be used for ALL CO2 fills to prevent an overfill. A pressure
gauge must be used for all compressed gas or air fills to prevent
overfills.
