Low velocity
• Increase regulator output pressure. (See page #9).
• Reg pressure that is way too high (600psi or more)
can also lead to low velocity.
High velocity
• Decrease regulator output pressure.
Marker does not recock every shot or
Marker does not recock during skips
• Gas supply is low.
• Hammer o-ring (part #46) is dirty or needs lube.
• Recock pressure is low-turn recock screw out.
(See TUNING pg. 26).
Marker shoots but no paintball is fired
• Cam push arm (part #26) is rubbing on marker
frame.
• You’re firing too fast for your loader; get a better
one.
Paintballs break in barrel
• Barrel diameter is too large for the paint you are
using (allowing ball to roll forward before firing).
• Brittle paint.
• Re-tune marker. (See page 26)
Paintballs roll forward in barrel or rolls
out of barrel
• Paint too small. Buy a barrel kit.
Velocity is very erratic
• Your barrel is too large for your paint. (See above).
• Regulator is not providing a consistent output
pressure and may need lube on poppet o-rings
(regulator part #13).
Bolt or cam push arm breaks paint
• Marker recocks too hard. Reduce recock pressure!
(See TUNING pg. 26)
• Bumper (part #5) is damaged.

The EVIL OMEN
™
is designed to be very low maintenance.
The EVIL Detonator
™
must be well
maintained as most issues will start with neglect of the Detonator inline regulator, see advice on
regulator maintenance intervals below. Also, the hammer o-ring (part #46) must be clean and
lightly lubed.
The OMEN
™
stock delrin bolt needs no oil or maintenance.
Always clean marker after every
day of play. This usually does not mean a complete strip. On the contrary, most warranty calls
originate from improper assembly by the operator. However, do not hesitate to call Evil HQ with
questions.
Proper regulator maintenance and preventative inspection of the entire bolt assembly and the
simple cleaning, inspection, and lubrication of the HAMMER O-RING (part # 46) with 100%
synthetic oil will ensure your OMEN
™
does not leave you hanging on the field.
Always use at least an agitating loader with the OMEN
™
.
Force feed loaders may
need to be set to a lower torque setting if paint jams between the cam arm (26) and the
anti-doubler arm (27).

PROBLEM
SOLUTION
For Experts Only - Do Not Attempt to disassemble EVIL Detonator
™
without reading complete
instructions.
There are only three O-rings and one urethane Regulator seat in the Evil Detonator
™
. If gas
leakage is detected, the fault lies with one of the three O-rings. If the regulator fails to hold a
consistent delivery pressure, then the problem is with the Regulator Seat.
