• Position “B” will feed paintballs into the marker’s breech. 
• Position “C” will lock the paintballs in the Feed Tube Magazine and will

stop them from loading into the marker.

Feed Tube Magazine

The Feed Tube Magazine holds 10 paintballs which are fed into the Marker
through the Feed Adapter. To install the magazine, simply slide the open
end into either the front or the back of the Feed Adapter. Make sure it’s fully
seated into the Feed
Adapter to prevent it com-
ing loose (Fig. 3.5).

Cylinder Installation 

Consult the dealer from
whom you purchased your
BT Marker, or a recognized and competent air smith, for instruction in the
safe handling of CO

your BT Marker. 

Before Pressurizing your Marker

• Set Marker to “Safe Mode”.
• 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 an air source. 

• Ensure you have a specifically designed barrel-blocking device in place.
• Make sure there are no paintballs in the marker.

PRESSURIZED! The 12 gram CO

Pressurizing your Marker

• While pointing the Marker in a

safe direction, cock the Marker by
pulling the Cocking Slide located
on the back of the Marker back
until it clicks and stops (Fig. 3.6).

• Release the Cocking Slide; the

Marker is now cocked.

• Locate the CO

2

door on bottom of

the Marker and push the Door
Locking Spring toward the rear of
the Marker using your thumb.

• Then pull the door open by pulling

on the small Picatinny rail on the
back of the door.

• Position the BT Marker so that the

CO

2

door is pointed upwards while

keeping the muzzle of the Marker
pointed in a safe direction.

• Insert a 12 gram CO

2

cylinder into

the 12 gram retainer and gently
slide it toward the puncture pin as
pictured (Fig. 3.7).

• Close the CO

2

door firmly, locking the door in place (Fig. 3.8).

• Your Marker is now pressurized.

Loading Paintballs 

BT Markers use .68 Caliber, water-sol-
uble paintballs, readily available at
paintball pro-shops, commercial play-
ing fields, and many sporting goods
stores. The paintballs are fed from
magazine through the Feed Adapter into the breech of the Marker (Fig. 3.9).
• Make sure the Marker is set to “Safe Mode”.
