WARNING!
Always ensure Marker is not shooting at a dangerous velocity. Ensure all participants
are wearing the proper Paintball safety equipment. You will be held liable if someone
is hurt by a Paintball fired from your Marker regardless of fault.
WARRANTY
B.L.A.S.T. warrantees the Intimidator against damages in Manufacturing Defects only.
Electrical components are warranted for a period of 90 days. Solenoids are not warranted.
When utilizing after market Drop-Forwards ensure attachment bolts DO NOT protrude
into internal grip assembly. When utilizing aftermarket grips ensure attachment bolts
DO NOT protrude into internal grip assembly. Failure to do so may damage the internals
and will result in void of warranty. Use of Teflon tape will void warranty. Aftermarket
anodizing will result in void of warranty.
For questions concerning your Intimidator manual please call [phone].
OPERATION
The Intimidator Marker is a solenoid controlled open-bolt design. The bolt is locked
onto a dual pressurized machined slider that is controlled by the solenoid (An electronic
4-way valve control). The back of the chamber is pressurized to move the bolt forward,
and the front is pressurized to move the bolt backward. This allows for very low cycling
pressure, as well as much less cocking recoil.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Intimidator is a low pressure operating, open bolt, electronic Marker, featuring
microchip managed solenoid control, anti-chop eyes (ACE), dedicated low and high
pressure regulators attached to a sculptured regulator mounting block, and unique
patented pending modular ram sleeve.
The field strippable pull pin bolt is connected to a dual pressurized sliding ram. This ram
is held within the modular sleeve located in the lower tube of the body. The low pressure
regulator supplies air through the regulator mounting block to the front barb of the
solenoid. Upon activation, the solenoid redirects alternating pressure through the rear
barbs, from the chamber in front of the ram to the back chamber behind the ram. The
forward shifting ram will then strike the poppet, opening the main valve which releases
high pressure regulated air up through the transfer port and into the upper tube of the
body. The pull pin connected bolt pushes the paintball into the breech while simultaneously
redirecting the charge of air to propel the projectile (paintball)to its target.
Introduction
The Intimidator is controlled via the MEMBRANE PAD located on the rear of the Trigger
Frame. All of the functions of the Intimidator can be easily accessed and changed through
the Membrane Pad.
GETTING STARTED
To power up your Intimidator, Press the ON/OFF button. To turn off your Intimidator,
press and hold ON/OFF button for approximately 1 second and release. Buttons 1 and
2 allow the user to scroll, select, adjust, and save settings through the menus as well as
timer activation, stop and reset. Pressing and holding buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously
will open Menu Mode. Once in the Menu Mode, button 1 controls scrolling as well as
the adjustments made to settings while button 2 controls selection and saving of menu
settings. Every Intimidator is equipped with an LCD screen, located on the side grip
panel (left of the membrane pad)which allows the user to verify menu settings along
with voltage, timer, shot counter, eye status, tournament lock, and others, depending
on the software version installed on the circuit board. A detailed description of each
function can be found in the Board Operation section.
NOTE: The Frenzy Board IS NOT Programmable via the trigger.
TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT
The trigger is fully adjustable using the three screws within the trigger. The upper
screw controls the return spring tension, the center screw adjusts micro-switch activation
point and the lower screw adjusts the trigger stop point.
BARREL
The Intimidator comes standard with a one piece, .689 Bore, 12-inch Assassin barrel.
Barrel threads for the Intimidator are Auto-cocker type.

REGULATORS
Included with the Intimidator are 2 High-Flow Regulators. Both regulators use
a standard 3/16 inch hex key for adjustment. Turn the adjustment screw
clockwise to increase pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease pressure.
Low Pressure Regulator
The low pressure regulator is mounted towards the front of the Marker under the barrel.
It controls the cycling pressure of the Marker which is read with the 0-300 PSI Ashcroft gauge
located on the left side of the block. The pressure should be set between 70 – 80 PSI.
NEVER EXCEED 100 PSI AS OVER-PRESSURIZING CAN DAMAGE SOLENOID. The low
pressure regulator is not used for velocity adjustments but for cycling pressures only.
High Pressure Regulator
The high pressure regulator (also called the Torpedo or inline regulator) is the vertical regulator
that screws into the bottom of the ASA block. All velocity adjustments are done with the Torpedo
regulator. Typically, pressures vary from 200 PSI to 280 PSI depending on chronograph speed.
If an aftermarket volumizer is used, the pressure may be lowered accordingly. Please note: The
Torpedo high pressure regulator comes with 2 connection ports, 1 dedicated for the air input
and the other dedicated for a gauge to monitor pressure levels. To verify that you are connecting
an air fitting to the appropriate input port of your Torpedo regulator, the pin valve assembly
will be visible within that port prior to installation. The gauge port comes with a plug screw
pre-installed from the factory.
Ammunition Aspects
Hopper
The Intimidator requires a high feed rate of paintballs to make full use of its features.
To satisfy this need, the use of a motorized loader is recommended.
Paint
Using top grade paint ensures the utmost in performance and accuracy.
Operatio n
Gas Configurations
PRESET AND ADJUSTABLE TANKS
A Compressed Air System also known as a Nitrogen Air System is the recommended propellant air
source for operating the Intimidator. If you are using an Adjustable Tank the output should be set
between 400 & 500 PSI, and Preset Tanks should be low pressure or 400 PSI output, but a high
pressure system is acceptable.
Co2
Co2 IS NOT the recommended propellant for the Intimidator. You should only use a Compressed
Air System to operate your Intimidator. When attaching air system hose fittings to your Marker,
DO NOT USE TEFLON TAPE. Use a thread sealant such as Loctite 545 instead.
GETTING STARTED
Maintenance for the Intimidator is very simple.
The Bolt should be lubricated sparingly with TRI-FLOW. Lubricating once a day or when dirty
will increase the life of the Ball Detents and also eliminate bolt drag.
The Ram or “Hammer” should be greased every 5000 shots with DOW 55. First degas your
Marker. Next, remove Bolt and Ram Sleeve End Cap and Ram will slide out of the back. Clean inside
of Ram Sleeve with a Q-tip, grease O-rings with DOW 55 and reassemble.
The Low Pressure Regulator Piston and the High-Pressure Regulator Piston O-rings should be
greased every 10,000 shots. The final o-ring to lubricate is the Poppet O-ring, located in front
of the Ram Sleeve. It is accessed by removing the front Regulator/ASA Block. This should be
done every 20,000 shots. Performing this simple maintenance will increase the life of the O-rings
and keep the Marker performing at the highest level possible.
NOTE: Always ensure Air Source is disconnected and Marker is fully degassed
BEFORE performing any/all maintenance, or when Marker is not operational.

Battery Information
The Intimidator uses a standard 9v battery. To change the battery, remove the Left Rubber
Grip Panel, then remove the 4 allen screws securing the two Trigger Frame halves. You’ll
notice the battery fits into the bottom of the Trigger Frame. Disconnect the old battery and
re-connect the new.
WARNING!
At this time it is good to verify screws are not protruding through the bottom of the grip
and into the interior components. Failure to do so may result in damage to the battery
and/or Circuit Board.
ANTI-CHOP EYES (ACE)
The Intimidator is the first Production Marker to incorporate a break beam Anti-Chop Eye
system in a Production Marker, commonly referred to as the ACE system. The ACE system
consists of a set of sensors mounted near the bottom of the breech to restrict firing until a
ball is completely loaded into the breech. Always operate the Intimidator with the eyes ON.
Failure to do so will more than likely result in broken paint in the breech. The transmitter eye
can be identified by the red and black wires, metal casing and male connector. The receiver
eye can be identified by it’s blue and black wires, black plastic casing and female connector.

Getting Started
MODE SELECTION (Version 116.2 FRENZY only)
The LCD is a Two-Button Membrane and Menu driven system. To bring up menu options for the
Marker, press and hold down Buttons 1 and 2 for approximately 1 second. Upon release you will
be taken to the first menu. Button 1 scrolls through the available menus. Button 2 is for entering
a selected menu. Once inside of a given menu, pressing Button 1 will change the current setting
within that menu incrementally. Pressing Button 2 will save the current setting and instantly exit
the Menu Mode. The Marker will now fire using the latest selected modes. Below are descriptions
of the different modes and how they affect the Marker’s performance.
DWELL - Determines how long the bolt remains in the forward position before repeating cycle.
EYE - Activates or Deactivates the ACE System with the following options:
FORCE - Marker fires only when ball is present at time of trigger pull.
DELAY- Marker fires when ball is present at time of trigger pull. However, if a ball IS NOT
present or detected, the Marker will wait 1 second before firing.
DRY FIRE - ACE System is Bypassed (OFF)and Marker fires at time of trigger pull.
NOTE: Eye setting can be changed to dry fire mode without entering the menu. With
the Marker OFF, hold trigger in and turn Marker ON until the LCD goes to its normal
screen and S is on the bottom left of the screen, now release trigger. This will set the
Marker to Dry Fire Mode with the eye sensor off. This function is disabled with
Competition Lock.
BIP (Ball in Place)- Determines how long after a Trigger Pull and Ball Detection, the Marker
will fire. Caution: Setting too low may induce ball breakage.
BOLTDELAY- Time eye sensor is ignored. This time allows Bolt to move forward.
Caution: Setting too low may cause Marker to dry fire.
TIMER - Determines game timer setting.
DEBOUNCE - Determines (in milli seconds) how long after each trigger pull, the board will
ignore further trigger activity.
M-BOUNCE - Mechanical Bounce setting is used to stop Marker’s recoil from causing an added
shot. 0 deactivates, while higher numbers decrease sensitivity of mechanical bounces occurring.
DELAY - Delay is used to slow down the Marker’s cycling speed. The higher the number, the
slower the Marker will cycle.
COMPETITION LOCK - With Competition Lock ON, Dwell, Delay, Debounce, and M-Bounce Menus
are not accessible. All other Menus are accessable as usual, however, the trigger activated Dry Fire
Mode is disabled. When Competition Lock is active, the display window of the LCD will show [C]as
the second character on the 2nd line. (Marker is not BPS capped while using Competition Lock)

Assembly and Disassembly
ASSEMBLY TIPS
KEY ELEMENTS TO REMEMBER DURING ASSEMBLY.
O-Rings: LUBRICATE ALL O-RINGS UPON INSTALLATION.
Ram Sleeve O-rings: Always ensure all O-Rings are in good condition upon installation.
Ram Sleeve Installation: The Ram Sleeve should be reinserted through the front end of the
marker body to ensure the U-Cup O-ring maintains a proper seal. Use caution when installing
the Ram Sleeve and take extra care not to cut/damage the O-Rings on the sharp edges of the body.
Air Barb: Ensure fiber washer is on Air Barb base prior to installation. This will ensure a proper seal.
ASA Block Set Screw: Use small amount of Loctite on ASA Housing Retaining Allen when
installing. Failure to do so may result in ASA Block sliding off the Marker Body, causing
extreme damage to the Marker and/or possibly injuring the operator and others. A firm snug is
all that is required to maintain a secure fit.
Poppet installation: Before installation, inspect Poppet thoroughly. If Poppet shows signs of
excessive wear, it must be replaced in order to ensure a proper seal. Ensure Poppet O-Ring is
well lubed when installing. Allow Poppet to slide into Ram Sleeve. Once seated tap on Poppet
end to mate Poppet with Ram Sleeve. Ensure small end of spring seats firmly on Poppet.
Ram Sleeve Retaining Allen: Use small amount of Loctite on Retaining Allen when installing.
Failure to do so may result in Ram Sleeve sliding back, causing extreme damage to the Marker
and/or possibly injuring the operator.
Eye Sensor Harness: Ensure Harness is seated in grove provided before attaching Eye Covers.
Failure to do so may result in pinched wires and render the eyes inoperable.
Eye Covers: Ensure Ball Detents remain aligned and in Covers upon install. Do not over tighten
the cover screws. A firm snugg is all that is required to maintain a secure fit.
Feedneck: Removal of the Feedneck Base may require the use of a Strap Wrench since it is
firmly secured during initial assembly. Simply wrap the Strap around the Feedneck and turn
counter-clockwise. To Reinstall, simply screw the Feedneck back onto the body and secure
firmly using a Strap Wrench.
NOTE: Once Marker is completely disassembled, carefully inspect all Screws, O-Rings, Ball Detents,
Air Barbs, Hoses, Eye Sensors, Wiring, Electronics, Battery, ASA Block, Regulator, and Feedneck
Threads, etc., for signs of premature or excessive wear, stripping and/or damage.
If ANY parts show signs of premature or excessive wear, stripping and/or damage, and you need to
order them, please refer the the chart on the facing page for reference. A more detailed discription
of parts and/or the corresponding PART NUMBER(S)can be found in the COMPLETE PARTS
CHECKLIST located on the inside back cover of the manual. Simply call B.L.A.S.T
. at the number
provided and a Customer Service Representative will assist you.
PLEASE HAVE PART NUMBER(S)READY WHEN CALLING.
Maintenance
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
WARNING: NEVER use lightweight gun oil on Marker. Oil will destroy internals
of Air Valve and O-rings.
Keep foreign obstructions out of Marker internals and Lubricate all O-rings within the Marker a
generous coat of Dow 55 Lubricant. The Ram requires Lubing every 5,000 rds. fired. Regulator
O-rings should be Lubed every 10,000 rds. fired. Failure to do so will reduce recovery time of
Regulators. Additionally, the Piston will wear a groove in the Regulator housing. Ensure the Pin
Valve lines up with the Cupped End on the Piston during reassembly. This will eliminate the
inadvertent bending of the pin. The Poppet O-rings require Lubing every 20,000 rds. fired.
Below is a list of the most common Consumable Components of the Intimidator.
