!WARNING! This Paintball Marker is not a toy. Misuse or mishandling can result in serious injury or death. Every person within range of a loaded Paintball Marker must wear eye protection specifically designed for Paintball. Recommended at least 18 years of age to purchase, 14 years old to use with adult supervision or 10 years old to use on Paintball fields meeting ASTM standards F1777-97. Be sure to read the entire instruction manual before operating your MARQ.

SAFETY Please follow all local, state, and federal laws concerning the operation and use of Paintball Markers. By purchasing this Paintball Marker “YOU” assume all liability. B.L.A.S.T. assumes no liability for injury or death due to misuse or mishandling of this Marker.

CAUTION Never point a Paintball Marker at anyone not wearing Paintball-Approved goggles. Even at the lowest possible operating velocity, a Paintball will cause serious injury should it hit someone in the eye area. Never under any circumstances look down the barrel of your Marker. Even if wearing Paintball approved goggles, you should Never look down the barrel of any Paintball Marker. Before performing any maintenance on the Marker, ensure air source is disconnected and Marker has been degassed. Always ensure Marker is OFF whenever Marker is not operational. Always insert barrel plug in barrel when Marker is not operational. Remove barrel plug only in designated operational areas. Only play at commercial playing fields that have a chronograph, referees, and clearly marked safe areas. Chronograph your Marker before each game to ensure Marker is operating at a safe velocity. Safe velocity is considered to be 280 feet per second (fps). 1

introduction

!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.

The MARQ Series Paintball Marker is controlled via the single-button rubber on/off membrane located on the rear of the Trigger Frame. All of the functions of the MARQ can be easily accessed and changed via the dip switch panel located on the front side of the board.

Warranty

Getting Started

B.L.A.S.T. warrantees the MARQ Series Marker against damages in Manufacturing Defects only. Electrical components are warranted for a period of 90 days. Solenoids are not warranted. When utilizing aftermarket Drop-Forwards and/or 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.

To power up your MARQ, Press the ON/OFF button. To turn off your MARQ, press and hold ON/OFF button for approximately 1 second until the LED turns Red and release. A detailed description of each function and how to adjust them can be found in the Board Operation section.

Note: The Factory Board IS NOT Programmable via the trigger.

For questions concerning your MARQ manual please call (925) 625-7929.

Trigger Adjustment

Operation

The trigger is adjustable using the two screws within the trigger. The upper screw controls the trigger’s travel length while the bottom screw adjusts the micro-switch activation point .

The MARQ Series Marker is a solenoid controlled, enclosed, inline open-bolt design. The bolt is directly affixed 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 while simultaneously striking (opening) the poppet valve, while the front of the chamber is pressurized to move the bolt backward. This allows for very low cycling pressure, as well as much less cocking recoil.

Barrel The MARQ comes standard with a one piece, .689 Bore, 12-inch Assassin barrel. Barrel threads for the MARQ are Auto-cocker type.

General Description The MARQ is a low pressure operating, enclosed, inline, open bolt, electronic Marker, featuring microchip managed solenoid control, anti-chop eyes* (ACE), dedicated low and high pressure regulators attached to a sculpted body. The bolt is directly affixed to a dual pressurized sliding ram. This ram is held within the inline firing mechanism/chamber within the body. The low pressure regulator supplies air to the front barb of the solenoid. Upon activation, the solenoid redirects alternating pressure through the rear of the body, from the chamber in front of the ram to the chamber behind the ram. The forward shifting ram will then strike the poppet, opening the main valve which releases high pressure regulated air through the front of the volume chamber and through the bolt which pushes the paintball into the breech while simultaneously sending the charge of air to propel the projectile (paintball) to its target.
