ANTI CHOP EYES
The Anti Chop Eye (ACE) system will prevent the DM5 from chopping paint by not allowing the marker to fire until a ball is
fully seated in front of the bolt. The eyes use a beam across the breech. On one side there is a transmitter, and on the
opposite side a receiver. In order for the marker to fire with the eyes turned on, the signal between the two eyes must be
broken. After every shot, before the next ball drops in the breech, the eye transmitter and receiver must see each other. If the
eyes are dirty and cannot see each other between shots, the LED on the board will start blinking green. This means that the
eyes are dirty. This is an extremely reliable system as long as the eyes are kept clean. The most common reason for dirty eyes is
broken paint. If the eyes become dirty the marker will default to a reduced rate of fire to prevent chopping. If this happens
during game play, you can bypass this by turning the eyes off. Clean the eyes as soon as possible.
NOTE: IF THE BATTERY IS LOW, THE MARKER MAY ACT AS IF THE EYES ARE DIRTY OR
NOT FIRE AT ALL. IN THIS CASE, REPLACE THE BATTERY.
ANTI CHOP EYES/ BALL DETENTS
- Maintenance and Changing
CHANGING BALL DETENTS
The ball detent system is also located under the eye covers. The ball detent system needs little or no maintenance. There is a
spring behind each detent, which holds the detent forward. This spring pressure should be easily overcome with very little force,
such as a paintball moving past.
If you are experiencing double feeding or chopping, check the condition of your ball detents with your finger to make sure they
are not stuck in the up or down position and that they move in and out of the breech freely. If excessive broken paint or dirt has
jammed your ball detents, remove the eye plates (being careful not to lose the detent springs) and pull the detents out for a
thorough cleaning. Reinstall the detents, springs and eye covers after you have sufficiently cleaned the detents and breech.
NOTE: TAKE CARE WHEN REPLACING THE EYE COVERS. OVER-TIGHTENING THE
RETAINING SCREW COULD RESULT IN STRIPPING THE THREADS.

CLEANING THE ANTI CHOP EYES
Quite often, just cleaning the breech out with a swab will clean the eyes well enough for them to read one another.
For a thorough cleaning, the best method is to use air. Using an air hose or canned air (typically used for dusting keyboards) works best.
Blow the eyes clean from inside the breech. If you feel the eyes still need a more detailed cleaning, remove the eye covers to gain full
access to the eyes.
To remove the eye covers, you will need a 1/16” Allen wrench. Simply insert the Allen wrench into the hole in the eye cover to access the
retaining screw
(see figure 2)
. As you back the screw out, the plate will be pushed up.
Take care not to lose the ball detent spring while removing the eye plate.
NOTE: Regular eye cleaning is recommended even if no paint is broken. Clean the eyes every two months or 10,000 shots to eliminate any built
up dirt. Excess grease from the front bolt o-ring can build up in front of the eyes. Remember to check for this after greasing the bolt and cycling
the marker a few times.
