The Piranha®is a paintball marker designed to shoot .68 caliber paintballs for use in the sport of paintball.
Paintball is a recreational and competitive sport played worldwide. Special equipment used in paintball includes
paintball markers, which are airguns; and paintballs, which are liquid-filled gelatin capsules that mark with a
bright color. The object of the game is to capture the opposing team’s flag; while on that quest, players try to
mark their opponents to eliminate them from the game.

TOP 6 QUESTIONS ANSWERED
1. Leaks down barrel Make sure marker is cocked before attaching air.
Check cup seal for wear or grooves. Replace if
leak continues. See page 13 for more information.
2. Low velocity (to make it shoot harder) 1. Check that air source is adequately filled.
2. Adjust velocity by turning the velocity adjusting
screw clockwise.
3. Remove bolt/hammer assembly and clean it.
Clean inside receiver area where bolt/hammer
assembly is located. Lubricate all O-rings
on bolt assembly with synthetic paintball
marker oil.
4. Change to a stiffer hammer spring.
See page 8 for complete velocity instructions.
3. Before you change any O-ring Do not replace the Blue Hammer O-ring with a bottle
or “seal” O-ring! The marker needs a Piranha®Blue Hammer
O-ring to work properly.
4. Regular Maintenance See page 11.
5. What is the “sear release slide?” The sear release slide is a mechanical slide that
allows you to re-install your bolt/block/hammer assembly
back into your marker without shooting the marker or
taking off the grip frame. See Reassembly Procedure on
page 11 for more information.
6. Marker doesn’t work out of the box? 1. Is tank filled? All tanks sent through the mail
come empty.
2. Is the marker cocked? Always cock marker before
airing it up
3. Is safety “off”?

Always wear protective goggles and headgear specifically designed for paintball when shooting this or
any paintball marker.
Every person within range of an area where a paintball marker is in use must wear protective goggles
and headgear specifically designed for paintball.
Operate a paintball marker only in areas where it is safe and lawful to do so.
Misuse of this paintball marker can result in criminal penalties, including jail time.
This marker is intended for sale to adults 18 years of age or older only. Adult supervision is recommended at
all times whenever a minor is handling this marker in any manner.
During game play, follow referee’s instructions and all field safety rules. Avoid shooting at a player’s
head, neck, or groin area.
Play paintball only where the rules of safe paintball play are followed.
All paintball markers must be chronographed regularly. Adjust marker to shoot paintballs at a velocity less than
300 feet per second (fps) and/or that does not exceed the velocity limit set by the paintball park where the
marker is in use. Chronograph the marker at regular intervals during the day, as well as any time the air source
is refilled or changed, any time the barrel is changed, and upon request of any player or game official.
There is always a chance that a paintball is lodged in the barrel of the marker even when it is not visible in the
chamber. To check if the marker is unloaded: remove air system and shoot marker in a safe
direction. Remove hopper, visually inspect chamber for a paintball, remove and inspect barrel for the presence
of a paintball. Never look down the barrel of any paintball marker once the barrel is screwed into the marker.
Markers with regulators hold pressure even after tank is removed. Shoot marker in a safe direction after tank is
removed to de-gas it completely.
