User's Manual

When the Impulse
®
is turned on it will be in Vision
®
mode. The internal infrared eye will be used to detect
whether or not a paintball is in the breech. This feature practically eliminates the possibility of a chopped
paintball. Vision
®
mode is indicated by a green glow of the status LED on the Impulse
®
at the rear of the
grip frame. Vision
®
mode can be de-activated by pressing the power button for 1/2-second while the
Impulse
®
is on. Vision
®
mode off is a red glow of the Impulse
®
control panel LED. Vision
®
mode may be
turned back on by once again pressing the power button for 1/2-second.

NEVER ADJUST THE IMPULSE
®
TO FIRE ABOVE
300 FEET PER SECOND, AS SERIOUS INJURY
MAY RESULT.
Even the best quality paintballs will vary in size from one batch to the next and as weather conditions
change. While your Impulse
®
will work well even with a poor paint to barrel t, optimal performance will
be achieved with a proper t. Paintgun barrels are available in a variety of bore sizes to allow the user
to select the best possible t. The Impulse
®
barrel is factory congured with The Freak
®
bore insert. The
Freak
®
Kit or Freak
JR
TM
kits will provide you with a set of compatible inserts that will allow your Impulse
®
barrel to quickly adapt to paint of different diameters.
The ideal t between the paintball and the barrel is when the ball is inserted in the bore (the end that
screws into the Impulse
®
) and does not slip or roll through to the muzzle (the business end) on its own.
The ball should sit in place, even when the barrel is pointed straight down. If the paintball can roll out on
its own, the t is too loose. The ball should be able to be expelled from the barrel by blowing it out, like
a blowgun, using a minimal amount of breath. If the ball is difcult to blow through, the t is too tight,
which can lead to ball breakage.
The velocity, or speed at which the Impulse
®
res a paintball, must be measured and adjusted to below
the paintball eld’s velocity limit immediately before each day of play (for player safety.) If CO
2
is used,
velocity should be checked and adjusted multiple times during the day. In an area where it is safe to re
paintballs, while wearing ASTM compliant eye and face protection for paintball, re three or four shots
over a chronograph to measure the velocity at which the paint is being red.
If velocity adjustment is necessary, use a 3/32-inch allen-wrench to adjust the primary regulator.
Adjustment is made through the center of the circular red arrow on the Impulse
®
control panel at the
rear of the grip frame. Turn counter-clockwise to increase velocity/pressure, and clockwise to decrease.
Take three or four shots after every adjustment to allow the gas pressure inside the marker to stabilize.
Measure velocity with the chronograph, and continue adjusting until the marker is ring consistently
within the velocity limits for the eld where you are playing. For safety reasons, never adjust the Impulse
®
to re at greater than 300 feet per second.
