Owner's Manual

GORILLA GRIP FEED NECK- The Gorilla Grip feedport is a self-sizing
feedport which fits most loaders available today. With its extra firm grip on
the loader, the loader will stay secure to the marker in the roughest playing
conditions.

is designed to improve your grip on the marker during moving and shooting.
DUAL RAIL SYSTEM- The rail system is for use with 3/8
th
dove tail and

th
(Picanny style) rail accessories. The 3/8 th system is commonly used
for .22 and airgun type accessories. The 7/8
th
Picanny style is use with mili-
tary and large caliber firearms type accessories. Note: Check all local, state
and federal laws, as well as with field owners to make sure your marker
accessories are suitable for paintball play. These accessories may include
tactical flashlights, sighting systems, bipod, foregrip and carry handle.
