1. Rules for Safe Marker Handling
Important: Never carry your Empire AXE uncased when not on a playing field. The non-
paintball playing public and law enforcement personnel may not be able to distinguish
between a paintball marker and firearm. For your own safety and to protect the image of
the sport, always carry your Empire AXE in a suitable marker case or in the box in which
it came in.
Safety and safe marker handling are the most important aspects of paintball sports.
Please practice each of the following steps with an unloaded marker before attempting
to operate your marker with an air source and paintballs.
Read this entire manual before loading, or installing an air cylinder, or in any way
attempting to operate the marker

2. Introduction and Specifications
Welcome to the world of the Empire AXE. The Empire AXE is a modern culmination
in the pursuit of speed, technology, weight reduction, and overall performance. It
started with radical imaginative concepts, which in turn inspired years of research
and development, plus countless hours of testing and engineering. As a result, the
Empire AXE features innovative electronic and pneumatic technologies that challenge
the paradigm that formerly defined “how a high performance paintball marker should
function”. The Empire AXE is precision engineered from aircraft-grade aluminum to
meet the demands of the most competitive players, teams, and climates. The ultimate
intent of the Empire AXE is to exceed your expectations.
Empire Paintball expects you to play hard and play frequently and thus the Empire
AXE was built with this in mind. All internal parts, wear, and contact surfaces have
been heat treated or hard anodized. The toughest and most resilient materials and
components have been used in the construction of this marker.
The Empire AXE operates on low-pressure. The main operating pressure is 180–200
psi. The pressure can be nominally adjusted and monitored visually via the gauge on
the bottom-line regulator. There is no secondary regulator to worry about.
The Empire AXE uses .68 caliber, water-soluble paintballs or reballs, readily available
at paintball pro-shops, commercial playing fields, and many sporting goods stores.

3. Battery Replacement and Life Indicator
The Empire AXE requires a single 9-volt battery as the electronic power source.
The use of brand-name batteries is recommended. The 9-volt battery is located in the
front fore-grip. The battery is accessed through the removable left side panel on the
front fore-grip. Confirm that the marker is off before changing or installing the battery.
Loosen the screw on the left side of the fore grip by turning it counter-clockwise with
a 5/64” Allen wrench and lift fore grip door off. If there is already a battery in the fore-
grip, carefully disconnect the battery from the battery harness, and then connect a
fresh 9-Volt battery to the harness. Re-insert the battery and harness back into the
battery compartment with the harness pointed down towards the bottom of the grip.
Make sure that there are no abrupt kinks and the wires are comfortably placed. Do not
force them into place. Then re-install the fore grip removable door.
LED INDICATION
The LED indicator, located above the but-
ton, is used to indicate the current Break
Beam Sensor System status, the Battery
Life Indicator and Trigger Pull indication.
The Break Beam Sensor Status is indicated
by the blinking frequency of the LED (See
Section 7 for further explanation). If the trigger is being pressed the LED will glow a
dim RED which can be seen between blinks of the LED.
BATTERY LIFE INDICATOR
The AXE also has a Battery Life Indicator, the LED located on the back of the fore-grip.
If in standard operation and the LED flashes with a GREEN color, then the battery is
Good. If the LED  ashes YELLOW/AMBER, then the battery is fairly depleted and
should be replaced soon. If the LED flashes RED, the there is less than 20% of the
full battery strength remaining and should be replaced immediately.

Button LED

Battery Level is indicated by the color of the LED (see table below for explanation)
NOTE: During rapid firing, the battery can be depleted quickly and the LED may
change color and give an incorrect reading. Allow time for the battery to recover be-
fore determining if the battery life is good or truly depleted.
LED Color Battery Level
GREEN Battery Good
YELLOW/AMBER Low Battery, should replace
RED Battery depleted replace immediately
Notes:
• Some rechargeable batteries may be too large for the Empire AXE battery
compartment. If they don’t fit, please don’t force them as this may cause damage.
• The stock circuit board does not store user-dened settings. You must change the
battery quickly to keep your user-defined setting. If the battery is not changed
quickly the circuit board will revert to the factory default settings.
4. Basic Operation
Safety and safe marker handling are the most important aspects of paintball sports.
Please practice each of the following steps with an unloaded marker before attempt-
ing to charge your marker with compressed air and paintballs.
• Keep your nger out of the trigger guard and away from the trigger; point the barrel of
the marker in a safe direction at all times. Keep the marker turned off when not in use.
The Empire AXE uses a power switch for its safety device.
• Always use a barrel plug or barrel-blocking device. Always use ASTM-approved paint-
ball-specific eye protection in any areas where paintball markers may be discharged.
• Remember that the ultimate safety device is you, the operator.
Barrel Installation
• Make sure the marker is degassed, loader removed, no paintballs in the feed neck
or breech, and the Empire AXE is turned off before installing barrel.
• While pointing marker in a safe direction, place the threaded end of the barrel into
the front opening of the marker body.
• Turn the barrel clockwise until it stops (do not over tighten).
• Install a barrel-blocking device which is included. This can be a barrel plug or other
such device that prevents the accidental discharge of paintballs.
SWITCHING ON YOUR AXE
To switch the AXE On, locate the button on the back side of the front foregrip, in front of
the trigger guard and directly under the LED. Push and hold the button for 2 seconds. The
LED will glow solid RED as soon as the button is pressed. Continue to hold the button until
the LED glows solid GREEN. Release button and the LED will intermittently flash indicating
that the marker is now ON and LIVE in FIRE Mode. Color will be determined by the battery
level, as listed in the chart above.
NOTE: Be sure not to have the trigger pressed when turning the board on, this will
enter the board into Settings Mode.
SWITCHING OFF YOUR AXE
Push and hold the button on the front foregrip. After the button is held for 2 seconds, the LED
will turn to a solid RED color. Release button and the AXE will switch Off.
Automatic Off feature
The Axe also has an “Automatic OFF” feature. If you leave your Axe powered up, it will shut
itself off after approximately 60 minutes of inactivity. This time cannot be adjusted.
Eye Function
The Empire AXE board is pre-programmed to activate the eye system each time the marker is
powered up. Read Section 8 (Break Beam Eyes Operation) for more details.
5. Compressed Air/Nitrogen Supply
The Empire AXE is designed to work with compressed air/nitrogen only. Do not use CO2, as it
will damage your Empire AXE. Low-pressure output compressed air tanks are recommended.
Consult the place where you purchased your Empire AXE, or a recognized and competent air
smith, for instruction in the safe handling of compressed-air cylinders before purchasing or

(Fig. 4.1)

connecting one to your Empire AXE.
The Empire AXE utilizes a fully functional regulator at the bottom of the grip frame that
doubles as an on/off ASA (air source adapter) or receiver for a standard threaded pre-
set output compressed air systems. It is strongly recommended that a very high-flow
“low-pressure” (400–450 psi) fixed-output system is utilized as an air source for your
Empire AXE. Using a “high pressure” (750–850 psi) output compressed air tank is ac-
ceptable. If you are using an adjustable output regulator system, the output pressure
should be 400–500 psi.
Warning:
• Remember compressed air or nitrogen systems can be extremely dangerous if
misused or improperly handLED. Use only cylinders meeting D.O.T. or regionally
defined specifications.
• Never add any lubricants or greases into the ll adapter on your tank regulator or
into the Empire AXE regulator.
• When connecting a remote system with a slide check, the sudden pressurization
from the slide check can force the poppet open briefly, sometimes pushing a ball
past the detents. It is recommended that you pressurize your Empire AXE before
loading paintballs into your loader.
• Do not install compressed air or load paintballs into your Empire AXE until you feel
completely confident with your ability to handle your Empire AXE safely.
Before Pressurizing your Empire AXE
• Check to make sure that you and anyone within range are wearing eye protection
designed specifically for paintball.
• Double check that all screws are tightened and no parts are loose before installing your tank.
• Make sure the bolt guide is locked in place properly.
• Ensure you have a barrel plug, barrel sock, or other specically designed barrel
blocking device in place.
• Make sure there are no paintballs in the marker and the power is off.
Pressurizing your Empire AXE
• Flip the regulators on/off arm forward so it’s pointing toward the front of the marker (Fig. 5.1).
• Install a compressed air tank, by screwing it in clockwise; making sure it’s fully
threaded into the ASA.
• Flip the on/off arm back so it’s ush with the regulator (Fig. 5.2). The marker will
become pressurized.
De-Pressurizing your Empire AXE
• Make sure a barrel-blocking device is installed in/on the end of the barrel.
• Turn the Empire AXE off by pressing and holding the power button. The LED will
turn from green to red. Observe the light to make sure it is no longer lit.
• Remove loader and all paintballs from marker.
• Flip the on/off arm forward and allow the gas to vent from the regulator.
• Read the pressure gauge and make sure the pressure reads 0 psi.
• Remove your air cylinder by slowly and carefully unscrewing it counter-clockwise.
• Air may remain within the marker once the tank is removed. While the barrel
blocking device is still installed, turn your AXE on with the eyes off and pull the
trigger a few times to deplete all remaining air.
(Fig. 5.1)
(Fig. 5.2)

6. Installing a Loader and Paintballs
The Empire AXE comes equipped to accept standard-gravity feed loaders as well as most
agitating and force-feed loaders. Fit the loader directly into the feed neck. It might be neces-
sary to adjust the feed necks clamping screw to your loader.
The Empire AXE uses .68 caliber, water-soluble paintballs, readily available at paintball
pro-shops, commercial playing fields, and many sporting goods stores. The paintballs feed
from the loader through the neck and into the breech of the marker.
7. Firing the Empire AXE
Keep your nger out of the trigger guard and away from the trigger, point the muzzle of your
marker in a safe direction at all times during this process. Be sure your goggles are securely
in place and make sure the AXE marker is off.
Warning: Everyone within firing range should always use paintball approved eye and face
protection in the presence of live paintball markers.
• Place the empty loader onto the marker.
• Be sure that it is securely mounted in place.
• Apply the compressed gas, pressurizing the marker.
• Put the paintballs into the loader.
• Remove the barrel plug, sock or barrel-blocking device.
• Aim the AXE in a safe direction.
• Turn the AXE ON: Push the button for 2 seconds until the LED light changes to
solid GREEN, then release button and LED should display a flashing LED accor
ing to Eye Status.
• Aim the AXE at the target.
• Pull the trigger with a smooth squeezing motion.
Caution: When the game you are playing is over, remember to place the barrel
blocking device onto your barrel and turn the marker off.
8. Break Beam Eyes Operation
The AXE uses a break beam eye system to determine the absence or presence of a paint-
ball for the purposes of reduced paint breakage and optimum rates of fire. When
the Break Beam System is activated the marker will not re unless the Break Beam Eye Sys-
tem detects a paintball. The AXE board is pre-programmed to activate the eye system each
time the marker is powered up.
To turn the eyes OFF, ensure that there are no paintballs in the AXE breech or feed-neck, make
sure the marker is switched On, and then press the button once. A fast, flashing LED will indi-
cate that the eye system has been deactivated.
To turn the eyes back ON, tap the button one time.
A slow consistent single blinking Green LED indicates that the eyes are ON with no ball in the
breech and a double blink LED indicates that there is a ball in the breech.
If the Break Beam Eye System malfunctions, the marker assumes there was a ball broken and
the Rate of Fire (ROF) is limited to 8.0 balls-per-second (bps) to prevent further ball breaks.
The LED indicator will ash slowly. Turn the Break Beam Eye System OFF to allow ring at
Max ROF cap setting. Break Beam Sensor Status is indicated by blinking frequency of the
LED (See table below for explanation). Color would be determined by battery level, as listed
in the chart in Section 4.
Blink Frequency Break Beam (BB) Eye Status
Single Blink BB Sensor System active, no ball in breech
Double Blink BB Sensor System active, ball in breech
Flashing BB Sensor System has malfunctioned
Fast Flashing BB Sensor System Deactivated
For optimal performance of the AXE eyes, keep the inside of the AXE breech clean and clear
of broken paint, paint residue, or other debris. Although the eyes can be cleaned via cleaning
the breech of the AXE marker, if the eye board needs to be accessed, please follow the steps
outlined in the Main Body Assembly section of this manual.
TRIGGER PULL INDICATION
If the trigger is being pressed, the LED will display a dim Red LED which can be seen
between blinks of the Eye Setting LED.

9. Unloading the Empire AXE
Warning: Always keep your Empire AXE pointed in a safe direction and always keep your
protective eye, face and ear wear on until marker is completely unloaded and safe.
• Be sure your nger is away from the trigger area.
• Place the barrel-blocking device in/on the end of the barrel.
• Turn the Empire AXE off by pressing and holding the power button. The LED will
turn from green to red. Observe the LED to make sure it is no longer lit.
• Flip the regulators on/off arm forward so it’s facing the front of the marker; allow
the air to vent and remove your air cylinder by unscrewing it counter-clockwise.
• If you are using an electronic loader make sure loader is completely turned off.
• Slightly tilt the marker so that the loader is lower than the body.
• Remove the loader by undoing the clamp and spinning it in a clockwise direction
and gently lifting it.
• Read the pressure gauge and make sure the pressure reads 0 psi.
• Do not look down the barrel but look down the feed neck to make sure there are no
paintballs in the breech.
• Remove the barrel from the marker.
• Make sure there are no more paintballs remaining in the barrel.
• Your marker is now ready to be stored in its box or marker case until its next use.
10. Regulator and Velocity Adjustment
The Empire AXE utilizes a bottom-line regulator that doubles as an on/off ASA adapter and
regulator for a standard threaded pre-set output compressed air systems or remote hose.
This unique regulator system channels air through the air transfer tube, eliminating the
need for external macro line and fittings. The Empire AXE bottom-line regulator controls
the amount of air pressure going from your compressed air system into the marker.
The Empire AXE regulator should be factory pre-set at about 190 psi, as this is the best
operating pressure for proper marker operation. However, if over time you do need to adjust
the pressure, use the regulator adjuster screw on the front of your Empire AXE bottom-line
regulator.
Regulator Adjustment
If adjustments are needed use a 3/16” Allen wrench and insert it into the regulator adjust-
ment screw. This is located in the front of the regulator; see (Fig. 10.1).
• To increase output pressure — Turn the regulator adjustment screw clockwise.
• To decrease output pressure— Turn the regulator adjustment screw
counter-clockwise.
Notes:
• Always watch the gauge as you are adjusting the pressure.
• The bottom-line regulator should not be disassembLED.
• Never set the regulator above 200 psi.
(Fig. 10.1)

Adjusting Velocity
At the back of the Empire AXE main body is the bolt guide cap. The Allen screw in the
bolt guide cap serves as your velocity adjuster. Con rm that the pressure on your Em-
pire AXE bottom-line regulator is at 180–200 psi. Then you can increase or decrease
the velocity on your Empire AXE by tightening or loosening the velocity adjustment
screw, with a 1/4” inch Allen wrench; see Fig. 10.2.
• To increase (+) velocity, unscrew or loosen the velocity adjustment screw by
turning it counter-clockwise. Rotate the velocity adjustment screw counter-
clockwise in small increments (1/4 turn or less), stopping between slight turns to
test velocity, until desired velocity is achieved. Do not back the adjuster out passed
being  ush. Stop if you hear an air leak, and adjust back in a 1/4 turn. A paintball
specific radar chronograph should be used to accurately measure your velocity.
• To decrease (-) velocity, tighten or screw-in the velocity adjustment screw by
turning it clockwise. Rotate the velocity adjustment screw clockwise in small
increments (1/4 turn or less), stopping between slight turns to test velocity, until
desired velocity is achieved. A paintball-specific radar chronograph should be
used to accurately measure your markers velocity.
11. BOARD SETTINGS AND FUNCTIONS
The electronic board features several modes and functions that are listed below. The
board is located inside the front foregrip of the marker. Before changing or adjusting
any of the board functions, remove the propellant source from the AXE and install a
barrel blocking device.
The board inside your AXE features 4  ring modes and 6 adjustable functions. It uses
a 3 color LED indicator on the backside of the front foregrip to indicate functions and
modes during programming.
TOURNAMENT LOCK
Tournament lock is a feature
that prevents the marker from
entering the Settings Mode
while in the field, to allow
the marker to be tournament
legal. See your tournament’s
rule book for an explanation
on what is required to lock
your marker. Tournament
Lock can be turned on/off by
using the dip switch 1 located
on the inside of the fore grip near the bottom of the circuit board. The battery door
must be removed to access the switch. Flip dip switch #1 to the ON (UP when laying
flat) position to activate the Tournament Lock. When tournament lock is ON, Settings
Mode cannot be activated
SETTINGS MODE
The AXE must be Off and the Tournament Lock must be Off to begin managing the
settings and functions. To activate the marker in Settings Mode, press and hold the
Trigger, then press and hold the button on the back side of the fore grip. The LED
will cycle through an array of colors to indicate the Settings mode is active. You may
now release the trigger and the button. Once the LED is done cycling you are ready to
navigate through settings mode.
(Fig. 10.2)
Notes:
• This marker was designed with safety and safety standards in mind. If you attempt
to shoot paintballs at a higher velocity than established safety standards, the
marker may not function properly.
• Check the velocity every time before using your Empire AXE.


NAVIGATING THROUGH SETTINGS
Once in Settings Mode, use the trigger is used to navigate to the next setting, where
the LED indicates which setting as listed in the chart above. Pressing and releasing
the trigger quickly will navigate to the next setting. The LED color/status will change
accordingly.
Example: If currently in Firing Mode (solid Red), press and release the trigger 3 times
to get to De-Bounce (ashing Red).

CHANGING SETTINGS
To change a setting, first navigate to the setting you would like to change by using
the trigger as described above. Once at the desired function, press and hold the trig-
ger for 2 seconds. The LED will then begin blinking to indicate the setting’s current
value. Once the blinking stops, the LED will turn off and you have a 3 second window
to begin entering a new value. Press and release the trigger the number of times
corresponding to the desired new setting value. After the desired number is reached,
release the trigger and after 3 seconds the LED will cycle through an array of colors to
indicate the setting is saved. If you do not enter any trigger pulls to modify a setting,
the value remains the same. If you enter more than maximum amount of trigger pulls
for any setting, the value will become the maximum value for that setting.
Power off the marker to exit the Settings Mode. Any setting that was modified will be
stored and ready to use upon startup.
FIRING MODES
-WILL BE INDICATED BY SOLID RED LED
You must be in the Settings Mode to change Firing Modes, see above for instructions
on how to enter Settings Mode. After choosing Firing Modes (Solid Red), hold the
Trigger, the LED will flash Red LED blinks equal to the current setting, followed by
a pause. Pull the trigger the number of times equal to your new desired setting (see
chart below). Once done, the LED will cycle through an array of colors to indicate the
setting is saved and return to the Settings Mode.
There are 4 ring modes available: NPPL/Semi Auto, PSP/Burst, Millennium/Ramp,
and NXL Style Full Auto.
IMPORTANT: When the Firing Mode is changed it will also automatically modify
the corresponding Max Rate of Fire and ramping parameters that correspond to that
mode. These settings may be changed after Firing Mode is selected.
# of Blinks Mode
1 NPPL/Semi
2 PSP/Burst
3 Mill/Ramp
4 Full Auto
NPPL/Semi Auto: Marker will shoot 1 time for each time the trigger is pulled. The
default setting meets 2011 NPPL marker rules.
Default: Max ROF = 15.0bps
PSP/Burst: Marker will shoot in semi-auto mode equal to the number of shots
specified by the Ramp Start setting (see below for more information), then will go
into a 3-shot burst at the Max ROF setting. If the marker is not fired for 1 second, the
marker will shoot semi-auto until Ramp Start is again achieved. The default setting
meets 2011 PSP marker rules.
Default: Max ROF = 12.0bps; Ramp Start=3shots
Millennium/Ramping: Marker will shoot in semi-auto mode equal to the number of
shots specified by the Ramp Start setting, and if the Ramp Sustain ROF (see below for
more information) is achieved, the marker will ramp up to the Max ROF setting. If the
marker is not fired for 1 second the marker will shoot semi-auto until ramping

parameters are achieved. The default setting meets 2011 Millennium marker rules.
Default: Max ROF = 10.0bps; Ramp Start = 3shots; Ramp Sustain = 6tps(trigger
pulls per second)
NXL Style Full Auto: Marker will shoot in semi-auto mode equal to the number of
shots specified by the Ramp Start setting, then will go into full automatic mode as long
as the trigger is held down. If the marker is not fired for 1 second the marker will then
shoot semi-auto again until Ramp Start is achieved again
Default: Max ROF=12.0bps; Ramp Start = 3shots
MAX RATE OF FIRE (ROF)
-WILL BE INDICATED BY SOLID GREEN LED
This setting controls the maximum number of paintball per second the marker is al-
lowed to fire. The setting can be varied from 8 to 20 balls per second (bps) in 0.5bps
intervals. Use the chart below to set the Max ROF.
Default: Max ROF = 15.0 bps
You must be in the Settings Mode to change the Max ROF, see above for instructions
on how to enter Settings Mode. After choosing Max ROF Mode (Solid Green), hold
the Trigger to get into the Mode, the LED will flash Red LED blinks equal to the current
setting, followed by a pause. Pull the trigger the number of times equal to your new
desired setting (see chart below). Once done, the LED will cycle through an array of
colors to indicate the setting is saved and return to the Settings Mode.

DWELL SETTING
- WILL BE INDICATED BY SOLID AMBER LED
This setting controls the amount of time the solenoid valve is left open. A setting too
high will waste excess gas and affect efficiency. A setting too low will prevent marker
from operating properly. It is not recommended to change this setting unless you are
an experienced user. Minimum dwell time is 3.0ms and is increased in .5ms incre-
ments up to 10ms. Use the chart below to set the Dwell.
Default: Dwell = 8.0 ms
You must be in the Settings Mode to change the Dwell Setting, see above for instruc-
tions on how to enter Settings Mode. After choosing Dwell Setting (Solid Amber),
hold the Trigger to get into the Mode, the LED will flash Amber
LED blinks equal to the current setting, followed by a pause. Pull the trigger the num-
ber of times equal to your new desired setting (see chart below). Once done, the LED
will cycle through an array of colors to indicate the setting is saved and return to the
Settings Mode.

TRIGGER DE-BOUNCE
- WILL BE INDICATED BY A FLASHING RED LED
Time in milliseconds the trigger pull must be released before the next trigger pull can
be registered. This eliminates electronic noise and vibrations (“Trigger Bounce”) that
the board may wrongly interpret as a trigger action (trigger pull) and fire the marker. A
higher setting will reduce the bounce. A lower setting will allow for more bounce. One
blink corresponds to 1ms of De-Bounce time. De-Bounce is adjustable from 1-15ms
in 1.0ms increments.
Default: De-Bounce = 5.0 ms
