mark with a bright color. The object of the game is to capture the opposing team’s
flag; while on that quest, players try to mark their opponents to eliminate them
from the game.

Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person within
range. Read this operator’s manual completely before loading, pressurizing or operating the
PCS™ US«5® paintball marker.

Always wear protective goggles and headgear specifically designed for paintball when shooting this or
any paintball marker.

Every person within range of a paintball marker is in use must wear protective goggles and headgear specifically
designed for paintball.

Operate a paintball marker only in areas where it is safe and lawful to do so.
Misuse of this paintball marker can result in criminal penalties, including jail time.

This marker is intended for sale to adults 18 years of age or older only. Adult supervision is recommended at all
times whenever a minor is handling this marker in any manner.

During game play, follow referee’s instructions and all field safety rules. Avoid shooting at a player’s
head, neck, or groin area.

!
!
!
!

Play paintball only where the rules of safe paintball play are followed.
All paintball markers must be chronographed regularly. Adjust marker to shoot paintballs at a velocity less than
300 feet per second (fps) and that does not exceed the velocity limit set by the paintball park where the marker
is in use. Chronograph the marker at regular intervals during the day, as well as any time the air source is refilled
or changed, any time the barrel is changed, and upon request of any player or game official.
There is always a chance that a paintball is lodged in the barrel of the marker even when it is not visible in the
chamber. To check if the marker is unloaded: remove air system and shoot marker in a safe
direction. Remove hopper, visually inspect chamber for a paintball, remove and inspect barrel for the presence of
a paintball. Never look down the barrel of any paintball marker once the barrel is screwed into the marker.
Markers with regulators hold pressure even after tank is removed. Shoot marker in a safe direction after tank is
removed to de-gas it completely.

PAINTBALL BASIC SAFETY RULES
!
!

This paintball marker operates using compressed gas or air at specified pressure ranges. Follow safety
procedures when handling compressed gas or air. All filling of compressed gas or air cylinders must be
done by qualified persons.
Always cock marker before attaching air or gas source to it. Failure to always cock marker before
attaching air to it may cause accidental firing or discharge of paintballs.

Follow the rules of safe marker handling: Keep finger off trigger until ready to shoot. Keep muzzle
pointed in a safe direction. In addition, firmly insert a barrel plug or barrel bag into the muzzle and
push the electronic or mechanical safety “on” when the marker is not in use and when in any nonshooting area.

Paintball markers with electronic frames have extremely sensitive triggers. Take extra safety precautions
anytime handling or shooting an electronic paintball marker. To avoid accidentally firing the marker,
keep the marker off until you are ready to fire.

!
!
!
!
!
!
!

Never shoot at domestic animals or wildlife.
Never mark objects outside the confines of the game or authorized shooting areas.
Never look down the barrel of the marker.
Never aim or shoot a paintball marker (loaded or unloaded) toward any person who is not wearing
protective goggles and headgear specifically designed for paintball.
Before disassembly, storage, or transport of the marker, remove all paintballs from the marker, barrel,
and loader; remove air source; and remove all gas or air from the marker. Insert barrel plug and put
mechanical safety in “no shoot” position.
Carry marker in case or sturdy bag when in public.
Safely and securely store marker to prevent access to it by unauthorized persons.

Safety standards information is available from the American Society for Testing and Materials, 100 Barr
Harbor Drive, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959; phone 1.610.832.9500; www.astm.org. “Standard Practice
for Paintball Field Operation” is publication F1777-97, and “Standard Specification for Eye Protective Devices

operating the pcs™ us«5® marker
! WARNING
Every person within range of an area where a paintball marker is in use must wear protective goggles
and headgear specifically designed for paintball.
1. Attach threaded barrel firmly to marker.
2. At this time, do not attach air source or loader and do not
load paintballs into marker.
3. Insert barrel plug firmly into barrel.
4. Pull the cocking knob straight back from the left side of the marker
until the cocking mechanism locks back in the cocked position. See
Figure 1. Always cock marker before airing it up. During cocking the
cocking rod will recoil or spring back forward once released and will
only move slightly during marker operation. See Figure 2.

Figure 1. Pull Back

5. Push safety “off” (see page 12), and turn the marker “on”
(see page 13) if it is an electronic trigger frame.
6. Squeeze the trigger with an even pressure and listen as the marker
un-cocks. The PCS™ US«5® needs air to recock. Electronic markers
must be charged before operation. See page 15.

Figure 2. Fully Cocked

7. Cock the marker again.

! WARNING
Always cock marker before attaching air source. Marker can discharge if air source is attached before
marker is cocked.

! WARNING
The marker contains compressed gas or air when pressurized. Never disassemble marker until removing all
gas or air from the system. Rules for safe handling of compressed gas or air must be followed at all times.

operating the pcs™ us«5® marker
8. Before attaching air source, read and understand the section in this manual on “Compressed Gas/Air” (Found
on page 8 & 9). Follow safety rules for handling compressed gas/air. If any leak occurs in the marker, refer to
troubleshooting guide or to a qualified airsmith. Use only cylinders for compressed gas or air that comply with
all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to those of the U.S. Department of Transportation,
OSHA, Compressed Gas Association, and/or American Society for Testing and Materials.
9. Bottom line: First check the tank O-ring for rips or tears, then attach the air source by screwing the
threads of the tank or air source adapter into the threaded bottom line ASA at the base of the grip. Make
sure marker is cocked before attaching air. If leaks occur, recheck tank O-ring. If damaged, replace.

! WARNING
When cocking the pressurized marker do not release the cocking knob until after the cocking mechanism
has locked back into the cocked position; releasing the cocking knob during cocking can cause the marker
to shoot.
10. With goggles on, test for function after attaching air source. Squeeze the trigger. The marker should shoot.
Repeat several times.

! WARNING
The PCS™ US«5® semi-automatic marker shoots one paintball for each squeeze of the trigger, and
recocks itself after each shot. See page 13 if you have a US«5® with an Advanced Electronic Clip (AEC) for
the different modes of fire.
11. Turn the marker off (AEC version) and push the safety in (both versions). Paintballs may then be loaded.

! WARNING
Before disassembly, storage or transport of the marker, remove air source first, then remove all paintballs
from the marker, barrel, and loader. Remove all gas or air from the marker. Insert barrel plug and push
the safety in so it is engaged.

COMPRESSED GAS/AIR
The PCS™ US«5® paintball marker may be powered by CO2, regulated compressed air, or regulated nitrogen.
The safety rules for handling compressed gas or air must be followed at all times.

OPERATING PRESSURE AND INPUT PRESSURE
• Operating pressure range: 600 to 1000 p.s.i.
• Recommended maximum input pressure is 1000 p.s.i.
• Do not exceed recommended pressures.

Do not leave cylinder or pressurized marker in direct sunlight or exposed to heat source.
Increased temperature will increase the pressure of compressed gas or air to dangerous levels.

! WARNING
Do not exceed recommended input or operating pressure.
VALVE-CYLINDER CONNECTION
The valve on a cylinder is to remain screwed into the cylinder; Figures 3
and 4. Should it loosen, the cylinder may detach from the valve with
extremely dangerous force. Call manufacturer or take to qualified
personnel for inspection.

Figure 3. Valve-cylinder
connection.

Every time a cylinder is filled, the connection between the valve and
cylinder must be inspected. If any looseness or leak is detected
between the valve and the cylinder, do not fill. Drain cylinder and
call manufacturer or take to qualified personnel for inspection.
During filling, if any looseness or leak is detected between the valve
and the cylinder, filling must stop immediately. Drain cylinder and
call manufacturer or take to qualified personnel for inspection.

Figure 4. Valve-cylinder
connection.

COMPRESSED AIR/GAS
! WARNING
A compressed gas or air cylinder is a pressure vessel. Follow rules for safe handling of compressed gas or
air. All filling of compressed gas or air cylinders, and all repairs to a marker or its components must be
performed by qualified personnel.

FILLING COMPRESSED GAS/AIR
An overfill of any compressed gas or air cylinder can cause the safety burst
disk (Figure 5) on the cylinder to burst, or the cylinder itself to rupture.
A cylinder may rupture with extremely dangerous force. Use a properly rated
disk only. Inspect the burst disc for a vent hole. If no hole is present contact
a local store or PMI immediately. DO NOT FILL!
A scale must be used for all CO2 fills to prevent an overfill. A pressure gauge
must be used for all compressed gas or air fills to prevent an overfill.

Figure 5. Safety burst disk.

Fills must be performed by qualified personnel. A cylinder must not be filled
beyond the cylinder’s capacity per the U.S. Department of Transportation. A
cylinder’s rated capacity appears on the cylinder itself.

! WARNING
Do not overfill any cylinder. An overfill can cause the safety burst disk or the cylinder itself to rupture.

HYDROSTATIC TESTING DATE
Many cylinders are required by the U.S. Department of Transportation to be hydro-tested at periodic
intervals, with the interval varying according to cylinder type. The date of the cylinder’s initial or later
testing appears on the cylinder. A cylinder that is out of date for hydrostatic testing must not be filled
or used.

VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT
! WARNING
All paintball markers must be chronographed regularly. Adjust marker to shoot paintballs at a velocity
that is less than 300 feet per second (fps) and that does not exceed the velocity limit set by the
paintball park where the marker is in use.
Chronograph the marker at regular intervals during the day, as well as any time the air source is
refilled or changed, any time the barrel or any part in the marker is changed, and upon request of any
player or game official.

1. Chronograph the marker using standard chronograph procedures and following safety rules. Shooting
velocity will vary based upon many factors, such as paint, weather, and air system.
2. Adjust velocity by using a 1/ 8" allen wrench (provided) to turn the velocity adjuster on the right side
of marker. See Figure 6. Turn adjuster clockwise to lower velocity. Turn adjuster counter-clockwise to
raise velocity. See Figure 7. Turning the velocity adjuster changes the amount of air flowing through
the valve.
3. Chronograph the marker after every velocity adjustment.
4. Chronograph the marker at regular intervals during the day, as well as any time the air source is
refilled or changed, any time the barrel or any part in the marker is changed, and upon request of
any player or game official.

Figure 6. 1/ 8" allen wrench is used to
adjust velocity.

Figure 7. Clockwise decreases velocity.
Counterclockwise increases velocity.

dirt and/or nicks and scratches (see page 19, Figure
15). Clean and test for leaks. Also inspect inside the
