Getting Started
Your Cyborg requires a source of Compressed air to be installed before use. The
best air system to use with your Cyborg is the Conquest air system. However,
thanks to the 04 Gladiator inline regulator, your Cyborg can accept air input from
any air system supplying 400-900psi of compressed air (DO NOT USE CO2).
Mounting an air system
Two mounting holes are provided on the base of the Cyborg grip frame for the
purpose of attatching your air system. Please see your air system users manual
for details on how to attatch your air system to these mounting points.
Connecting the gas
Now that your air system is mounted, you will need to connect the gas to the
base of the Gladiator inline regulator. This is best achieved using MacLine (if you
are using a air system output of 400-700psi) or braided hose (700psi+).
Your Cyborg comes from the factory with a MacLine tting installed in the Gladi-
ator. If you intend to use MacLine, then you can plumb your gun by pushing the
MacLine from your air system into the tting at the bottom of your Gladiator.
Your Cyborg is now ready to use. Screw the barrel into the Cyborg and carefully
push a paintball hopper into the feed neck. Your Cyborg is now ready to operate.
Never operate your Cyborg without eye, ear, mouth and neck protection for
yourself and anybody within range.
If you need to change the tting in the bottom of your Gladiator, please follow the
instructions below.
Unscrew the bottom cap from your Gladiator (by hand). Use a wrench to hold the
Gladiator bottom cap in place as you change the air tting (as shown below). Do
not over tighten the air tting, and use a snug wrench on the Gladiator to prevent
scratching. Now screw the Gladiator bottom cap back into the inline regulator.

Rebuild Kit
The Cyborg rebuild kit contains all the most important parts of your Cyborg. This
kit is good for peace of mind, especially when entering an important tournament.
Gas Thru Grip
The Gladiator gas thru grip gives you a high volume chamber on the front of your
gun for lower operating pressures. The grip features the 03 Gladiator milling.
Conquest Air/Nitro System
The Conquest air/nitro system is the highest quality compressed air delivery
system available. The Conquest will deliver high volume, clean consistent air
to your Cyborg in a lightweight compact unit - the ultimate accessory to your
Cyborg.
MatchStik Kit
Your Cyborg was supplied bundled with a 2-piece MatchStik barrel. Own the 5
piece kit to allow good paint to barrel match with the barrel designed for your
Cyborg.
MacLine Kit
The Macline kit includes 3 ttings (1 straight, 1 xed elbow and 1 swivel elbow)
as well as 1” of hose to ensure easy plumbing to any popular marker.
Ram Gauge
Check your LPR precisely for creep and recharge problems. Takes the guess-
work out of tuning.
Sonic LPR Cap and Thumb Adjuster
The thumb adjuster eliminates the need for tools to adjust your velocity, while the
LPR cap locks the adjuster off for tourney play as well as protecting your LPR
system from paint hits.
12 5
Setting the Velocity
Your Cyborg has been factory set to between 275 and 300fps. The Cyborg
should be adjusted to comply with local legal velocities. The Cyborg velocity
can be adjusted over the chronograph using a standard 1/8” allen wrench. First
gas up your marker and check the gauge on the side (above the front grip) This
gauge indicates the pressure setting of your inline regulator (Gladiator) and
should be set to 200psi at all times.
Now chrono the marker, to increase the velocity turn the LPR adjuster clockwise,
or turn the adjuster counter-clockwise to reduce the velocity. Never set the veloc-
ity over 300fps, or use/chrono your Cyborg without rst ensuring that you and all
other people in range are wearing appropriate protective clothing.
Operating Your Cyborg
Turning the power on and off
To turn your Cyborg marker on, simply press and hold the on/off button for 2 sec-
onds. You will see the indicator LED ash red once and hear a single soft chime.
If you release the button at this point the Cyborg will be set to active mode, with
CyberSense activated (at this point the indicator LED should shine green). If you
have a paintball in the Cyborg ready to re, the Cyborg will operate normally,
however if you attempt to re without a paintball in the Cyborg it will not cycle.
To turn your Cyborg off, simply press and hold the on/off button until the indicator
LED ashes red twice and chimes twice - then release the button. The indicator
LED should extinguish.
Deactivating the CyberSense
Your Cyborg should always be operated with the CyberSense active. However,
there are instances where it may be necessary to deactivate this function (for
example if you need to re the Cyborg without paintballs). To deactivate the
CyberSense you can either:
- Hold the on/off button down until the indicator LED ashes 3 times
or
- Change dip switch 6 to the off position
Troubleshooting
Some common difculties are detailed in this section, for the latest troubleshoot-
ing information, please visit www.macdev.net. If you require more assistance
with troubleshooting related issues, please contact your local macdev/Cyborg
tech.
LED is ashing red or showing red at all times
The red LED indicates a low battery alarm. Replace the battery with a fresh one.
The marker is on, but will not cycle
Ensure that the paint is loaded correctly. If paint is loaded correctly, deactivate
the CyberSense and try to cycle the marker. If the marker cycles with the Cyber-
Sense off, then paint was not loaded correctly.
Check that the trigger actuator adjustment is not set too far in or too far out
(always back the adjustment out before trying to screw it in, because screwing it
in too far may damage your circuit board.
There is a leak from the marker
Check the gauge on the side of the gun. It should be set to approximately
200psi. If the Gladiator needs adjustment, then adjust the pressure (using a
3/32” allen wrench on the bottom of the Gladiator - counterclockwise increases
pressure). Then re-chrono the marker - the leak should disappear when the
velocity is set correctly. If the leak will not disappear, please contact tech. sup-
port.
The marker breaks paint
Ensure that the top tube, bolt and barrel of your Cyborg are completely clean.
Check to make sure that the paint is not too large for the Cyborg barrel. Ensure
that your CyberSense is turned on and the barrel is screwed in completely.
The marker shoots down under rapid re
Check to make certain that your air system is set to 400psi or above. When
ring the gun ensure that the gauge on the side of the gun recharges quickly (if
this recharges slowly, perform routine Gladiator inline reg maintenance). If the
air system is set correctly and the gauge on the side of the gun recharges well,
perform routine maintenance on the Cyborg ram and LPR.
Fine Tuning and Customising your Cyborg
Your Cyborg can be adjusted in many ways to suit your individual playing style.
You can adjust the trigger feel, sensitivity and speed.
Trigger Adjustment
There are 3 set screws around the trigger area to use for ne tuning the trigger.
The lower screw on the front of the trigger is used to adjust the length of the trig-
ger pull - screw it clockwise to reduce the trigger pull length. The second, higher
screw on the front of the trigger is used to adjust the actuation position. Screw
this screw clockwise toactuate the microswitch earlier in the trigger pull.
CAUTION: be cautious when adjusting this screw - adjusting the screw too
far in may cause damage to your circuit board!
The nal adjustment screw is located on the inside top of the trigger guard -
winding this screw in a clockwise direction will increase the trigger pull tension.
Trigger Sensitivity Adjustment
The sensitivity of the trigger system can be adjusted via the dip switches located
under your wrap around grip.
CAUTION! Take great care when switching the dip switches - use a very
small screwdriver and take care not to push downwards on the switch
(only across) - damage to the dip switches can result in board malfunction.
The trigger sensitivity settings are:
Switch 1 Switch 2 Trigger Sensitivity
ON ON Lowest
OFF ON Low
ON OFF High
OFF OFF Highest
Trigger Filter
The Cyborg has a built in trigger lter to help eliminate trigger bounce. Depend-
ing on your trigger sensitivity setting, you may nd it necessary to turn the lter
off. Dip switch 3 is used to control the trigger lter - when switch 3 is in the “on”
postion, the trigger lter is set to low (minimal ltering), conversely if switch 3
is off, the lter is in high (maximum ltering) mode. The lter is set to low as a
default - you should only switch it to high if you are experiencing excessive trig-
ger bounce.

Gladiator Inline Regulator Maintenance
To keep your Gladiator working well you should clean and lubricate the piston
regularly (at least every 20,000 shots or so, you may perform this maintenance
more often if desired). To do this follow these easy steps:
1. Degas the Cyborg of all pressurised gas, then remove the Gladiator from the
Cyborg. Unscrew the Gladiator bottomworks and put it aside.
2. Place a clean rag on the tabletop and push the piston assembly out from the
top. Separate the piston from the o-ring retainer and spring washers.
3. Clean the piston and o-ring retainer of old grease using a clean rag, do not
leave any lint or cotton strands on or between the o-rings. Re-apply Dow 33 to
the o-rings.
4. Clean the piston bore using a Q-tip to remove all old grease.
5. Using a clean Q-tip, apply silicon grease to the piston bore. Do not over apply
grease - all you need is a thin lm.
6. Slide the spring washers back onto the piston and lubricate the shaft with
Dow 33. Now slide the o-ring retainer back onto the shaft.
7. Slide the piston etc back into the Gladiator topworks and screw the bottom
and topworks back together before re-installing the Gladiator onto your Cyborg.
LPR Maintenance
The LPR should be cleaned and re-lubricated at the same time as the Gladiator
inline regulator. Remove the adjuster cap by unscrewing it from the LPR
(counter-clockwise), and remove the spring under the adjuster. Use a pair of
needle nosed pliers to remove the LPR piston. Clean and relubricate the piston
bore using a q-tip then clean and re-lubricate the piston itself before replacing it
back in the LPR body. Replace the LPR spring and adjuster cap. You will need
to re-chrono your marker after doing this.

Caring for your Cyborg
The Cyborg is a very low maintenance marker, however there are some things
that you can do to keep it running at optimum performance. Always use Dow 33
to lubricate your Cyborg, do not use Silicone spray or oil of any kind.
Bolt Maintenance
The Cyborg bolt is made from a very high quality self lubricating plastic. For
this reason the bolt should always be used dry - never lubricate the bolt. During
normal usage, the Cyborg bolt can become dirty. To remove the bolt, gently pull
the pull pin upwards until it clicks. The bolt and pull pin should then slide freely
out of the gun. Clean the bolt with a clean, dry soft cloth. If you notice scratches
along the bolt, it is likely that you have not cleaned it often enough - it is a good
idea to clean the bolt after evey days play, or if it gets excessive paint/dirt in it
during the course of play.
When replacing the bolt, it is critical to ensure that the bottom of the pull pin is
located correctly in the slot on the ram inside the gun. If the bolt is incorrectly
installed your Cyborg will not operate correctly and damage may result.
Ram Maintenance
The ram of your Cyborg does the most work of any part of the gun. For this
reason the ram system needs to be kept clean and well lubricated. Before
removing your ram ensure that there is no gas in the gun. First remove the bolt
(as described above in bolt maintenance) and unscrew the ram cap (counter-
clockwise) and remove it from the gun. Then grasp the ram end and pull it out
of the Cyborg. Now remove the hammer from the ram housing. Clean the old
grease off the ram housing bore using a clean q-tip, and clean the old grease
from the ram housing and hammer using a clean lint free cloth. Use a clean q-tip
to re-lubricate the bore of the ram housing with Dow 33, and use your nger to
re-lubricate the o-rings on the hammer as well as the hammer shaft. Slide the
hammer back into the ram housing and re-lubricate the o-rings on the outside
of the ram housing. Now your ram is ready to be replaced back into the marker
- slide it back in carefully before securing it in place with the ram nut. Take care
that the bolt is replaced correctly as described above in bolt maintenance.
Ram maintenance can be performed as often as you like, and should be done at
least every 20,000 cycles.
Regulator Maintenance
Your Gladiator inline regulator and LPR should be kept clean and lubricated for
best results.
Maximum Cycle Rate
The maximum cycle rate of the Cyborg can be adjusted. As long as you are
using the CyberSense (paint detection) system, you will not require this set-
ting (because your Cyborg will only re as fast as your hopper). However, if
you would like to limit the speed of Your Cyborg, you can do it by changing Dip
switches 4 and 5 as shown:
Switch 4 Switch 5 Maximum cycle rate
ON ON 30 cycles/sec
OFF ON 25 cycles/sec
ON OFF 20 cycles/sec
OFF OFF 17 cycles/sec
Dip Switch Settings
The dip switches are located under the left hand grip plate. Take great care
when switching the switches as they are small and fragile. Avoid changing the
switches often as careless use may cause damage. Your Cyborg is factory set
with the trigger sensitivity set to highest, the trigger lter set to low, the maximum
cycle rate at 30cycles/sec and the CyberSense enabled. This will give you the
fastest, easiest rate of re available - if you have no problems, do not change
the dip switch settings! Dip switches 7&8 are used by the MacDev factory -
There is no use switching them.
A switch summary is provided:
Dip Switch Number Setting
1 2 3 4 5 6
ON ON - - - - Lowest sensitivity
ON OFF - - - - Low sensitivity
