SHOCKER NXT

Operation and adjustment instructions

QUICK START

01 02 03

Using a 5/64-inch Allen wrench,

remove the two screws from

the left side of the rubber grip,

and lift the panel open. Attach

a fresh 9-volt alkaline battery

to the battery clip. Position the

battery in the grip frame, tucking

the battery wires into the space

above the battery. Close the grip

and reinstall the screws.

Screw the included barrel

into the Shocker NXT. Put

the supplied barrel blocker

over the end of the barrel,

securing its cord as far

back on the Shocker NXT

body as possible, and

cinching it tight.

Fill the loader with paint and turn it on. While wearing ASTM compliant paintball goggles in an area where all bystanders are protected, remove the barrel blocker and re over a

chronograph to measure the velocity. Using a 3/32-inch Allen wrench, loosen the velocity lock screw near the bottom of the vertical regulator and adjust it with a 5/8-inch open-end

wrench or adjustable wrench. Turn clockwise to increase velocity/pressure, and counter-clockwise to decrease. Take three or four shots after every adjustment to allow the gas

pressure inside the Shocker NXT to stabilize. Adjust until the Shocker NXT is ring consistently within the limits for the eld where you are playing (for safety reasons, never adjust

the Shocker NXT to re at greater than 300 feet per second.) As you adjust, check the Shocker NXT’s pressure gauge to be certain you stay within the Shocker NXT’s operating

limits of 180 to 220 psi. Lock the velocity setting by tightening the velocity lock screw. Depending on what modes of re are allowed at the eld where you are playing (semi-auto-

matic, rebound, etc.) you may need to adjust the Shocker NXT’s Rebound setting. See the Rebound Adjustment section for more information. Shoot out the competition, hang the

Insert your loader into the feed-

neck and make sure it is secure.

Due to the high rates of re that

Shocker NXT can achieve, we

recommend the use of a modern

high-performance loader.

Gently gas up the Shocker NXT

by slowly turning on the air

system or ASA’s on/off valve,

or slowly screwing the CO2 or

compressed air system into

the ASA.

A gentle rise in pressure is

important, as a sudden blast

may reduce the service life of

the Shocker NXT’s internals.

Turn on the Shocker NXT by

holding the power button down

for approximately 1 second. The

Shocker NXT will chirp and the

power button will glow continu-

ously to show that it is on and

in Vision mode. If you need to

disable Vision mode to re gas

without paint, push the button

once again, and the power

button will blink in a double-tap

sequence. Press and hold the

power button for approximately

2 seconds to turn the Shocker

NXT off, this acts as an elec-

tronic safety.

The SHOCKER NXT can be damaged by liquid CO2. Thoroughly

read and understand the Gasses Section of the manual before

using CO2 to avoid damage.

Have your compressed air

The Shocker NXT has been designed with

simplicity in mind so that you can con-

centrate on your game instead of your

marker. It has a minimal number of moving

parts and seals so that you can maintain

the marker with little effort. This DOES

NOT mean that you should neglect your

Shocker NXT. If you take care of it off the

eld, your Shocker NXT will take care of

you on the eld. For best performance,

clean and grease your Shocker NXT fre-

quently. Many players clean their Shock-

ers after every use. While this may seem

a bit extreme, being vigilant in the upkeep

of your Shocker NXT will extend its use-

ful life considerably. Playing in the rain will

not damage your Shocker NXT, but you

should NEVER immerse it in water. If your

Shocker NXT should become waterlogged,

remove the barrel and rubber grips and

allow it to dry out, then follow the disas-

sembly instructions for full cleaning. Clean

out mud and paint with a damp cloth and

alcohol. Grease the Shocker NXT ONLY

with SL33K pneumatic grease. Use high

quality paintballs.

BARREL BLOCKER IN USE

USE HIGH PERFORMANCE LOADER

The Barrel Blocking Device is a critical piece of paintball safety equipment - nearly as important as

paintball goggles. The Barrel Blocker serves to protect against accidental discharge of a paintball

by catching it before it can cause harm. A Barrel Blocker is included with the Shocker NXT and must

be used every time it is handled in an area where people or property are not properly protected by

paintball goggles or paintball eld netting. To use the Barrel Blocker simply slip it over the end of the

barrel and stretch its cord back over the back of the Shocker NXT’s gripper (the extension on the

back of the body) or the rearmost part over which it can be securely looped. Use the strap’s adjuster

to cinch the strap tight, so that the Barrel Blocker can provide protection against accidental discharge

of a paintball.

The Barrel Blocker should only be removed when the Shocker NXT is on a “live” paintball eld and all

persons involved are wearing proper paintball protection.

The Shocker NXT is a high performance tournament grade paintball marker. The break-beam Vision

system means that you won’t need to worry about chopping paint because your trigger nger is faster

than your hopper. However, if you want to realize the Shocker NXT’s maximum repower potential,

you will need to use a high performance loader. High performance loaders, especially those which

provide force-feeding, will yield the best results with the Shocker NXT.

Depending on the dimensions of your hopper you may choose to remove one or more of the friction

o-rings from inside the Shocker NXT’s feed tube, and or to sand down the hopper’s feed neck. The t

should be snug, but not excessively tight. Always twist hoppers clockwise when installing or remov-

ing, to avoid unscrewing the feedtube from the Shocker NXT body.

Never put oil in a compressed air regulator or tank—only

apply manufacturer specied lubricants.

GASES

The Shocker NXT is a low-pressure paintgun. It operates in the range of 180 to 220 psi, which means it

can function well with either compressed air or CO2 as a power source. Proper set up of your gas sys-

tem will help you obtain the best possible performance from your Shocker NXT.

High Pressure Air systems (HPA) are the most common power source used with the Shocker NXT, as

they are unaffected by temperature uctuations and do not have the potential for liquid problems. HPA

systems consist of a tank and a regulator, and are typically rated to store air or nitrogen (while nitrogen

is almost never used in paintball, many players call compressed air “nitro” as air is made of more than

70% nitrogen) at pressures of 3,000 or 4,500 psi.

There are two main types of HPA systems, those on which the output pressure is adjustable, and those

for which their regulator is pre-set to a xed output pressure. HPA systems designed to screw into an

ASA are usually pre-set to deliver either 400 psi (low pressure output) or 800 psi (high pressure output.)

Never use oil or any petroleum based cleaner or lubricant in a compressed air regulator or tank. Ex-

posure to pressurized air increases oil’s ammability and can cause a serious safety hazard. Only use

manufacturer recommended lubricants with compressed air systems, and follow the manufacturer’s

maintenance and operation instructions explicitly. If you are using your Shocker NXT with an adjust-

able output compressed air system, it should be adjusted to deliver about 650 psi to the Shocker NXT’s

vertical regulator. The Shocker’s regulator can accommodate a wide range of input pressures, so exact

adjustment of the air system is not critical, and either low output, or high output pre-set HPA systems

may be used as well.

While CO2 can also be used, it is less popular, since its pressure uctuates with temperature and use.

The important thing to remember when using CO2 is that liquid CO2 must not be delivered to the Shock-

er NXT. If liquid CO2 were to make it past the Shocker’s regulator, it could expand into gas form inside

the paintgun, raising the pressure levels high enough to cause damage to internal seals or the solenoid

valve. Because liquid CO2 is heavier than CO2 gas, it is easily blocked through the use of gravity.

FIG. 3 HPA TANK BEING FILLED

GASES

04 800.922.2147 www.smartparts.com

Two easy ways to properly use CO2 with the Shocker NXT are an anti-siphon tank or a remote line.

Anti-siphon tanks have a J shaped tube professionally installed inside. When the tank is screwed

into a bottom line ASA, like the one that is standard on the Shocker NXT, with their anti-siphon side

up, the tube delivers gas only. The anti-siphon tube works like a diver’s snorkel, repositioning the gas

intake from the valve to the top side of the tank.

A remote hose allows a standard (non-siphoned) CO2 tank to be carried in a player’s pack. Not only

does this make the total weight of the Shocker NXT less, but it also allows the tank to be placed verti-

cally, so that its valve is at the top, while gravity holds the liquid CO2 at the bottom. It is important to

note, that lying down on the eld, or crawling while using a remote can cause liquid CO2 to be fed to

the paintgun as the tank is turned on its side.

Whether using compressed air or CO2 it is important that the Shocker NXT is not exposed to sudden

“pops” of pressure. If using a standard ASA with a screw in HPA system or CO2 tank, screw the tank

in slowly, so that the valve opens slowly, and the pressure rises gently. If using an ASA with a built in

on/off valve, screw in the tank fully, then open the valve slowly. If using an HPA system or CO2 tank

with its own on/off valve, open that valve slowly. Be gentle to the internals of your Shocker NXT and

they will reward you with a long service life.

BOTTOM OF GRIP FRAME

INSTALLING SET SCREW

FIG. 8 TIGHTENING SET SCREW

The Shocker NXT offers multiple options for mounting compressed air systems or CO2 tanks. Located

on the bottom of the grip frame are a pair of industry standard 10-32 screw holes which can be used

to mount a bottom-line ASA, an S-Rail, or drop forward. Additionally, a 1/2-inch dovetail rail is ma-

chined into the bottom of the frame to allow direct mounting of dovetail accessories.

To use the dovetail rail, rst use a 5/64-inch Allen wrench to remove two screws from the Shocker

NXT’s rubber grips, and open one side of the grip. Remove and unplug the 9-volt battery from inside

the grip frame. Look into the forward screw hole on the bottom of the grip. A 10-32 set screw is

included preinstalled in your Shocker NXT. If it has been removed, you may re-install it by screwing

it into the hole from the bottom of the grip frame, head rst. When the set screw is in too far to keep

screwing it in by hand, use a 3/32-inch Allen wrench to screw it in further from the inside of the grip

frame. Screw the set screw in, until its bottom is ush with the dovetail rail. Slide a Max-Flo Micro, or

other accessory onto the rail, and then use your Allen wrench to lock the set screw, securing the ac-

cessory. Close up the grips and return their screws into place with the Allen wrench.

When mounting a different gas accessory or drop forward that uses dual mounting screws instead of

the rail, the set screw will need to be removed by a similar process.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Even the best quality paintballs will vary in size from one batch to the next and as weather conditions

change. While your Shocker NXT will work well even with a poor paint to barrel t, optimal perfor-

mance will be achieved with a proper t. Paintgun barrels are available in a variety of bore sizes to

allow the user to select the best possible t, and barrel kits like The Freak allow for easy adjustment

to paint of different diameters.

The ideal t between the paintball and the barrel is when the ball is inserted in the bore (the end that

screws into the Shocker NXT) and does not slip or roll through to the muzzle (the business end) on its

own. The ball should sit in place, even when the barrel is pointed straight down. If the paintball can

roll out on its own, the t is too loose. The ball should be able to be expelled from the barrel by blow-

ing it out, like a blowgun, using a minimal amount of breath. If the ball is difcult to blow through, the

t is too tight, which can lead to ball breakage.

The velocity, or speed at which the Shocker NXT res a paintball, must be measured and adjusted

to below the paintball eld’s velocity limit immediately before each day of play (for player safety.) If

CO2 is used, velocity should be checked and adjusted multiple times during the day. Using a 3/32-

inch Allen wrench, loosen the velocity lock screw near the bottom of the regulator. Fire three or four

shots over a chronograph and if necessary change the velocity by adjusting the vertical regulator

with a 5/8-inch open-end wrench. Turn clockwise to increase velocity/pressure, and counter-clock-

wise to decrease. Take three or four shots after every adjustment to allow the gas pressure inside the

Shocker NXT to stabilize. Adjust until the Shocker NXT is ring consistently within the limits for the

eld where you are playing. For safety reasons, never adjust the Shocker NXT to re at greater than

300 feet per second. As you adjust, check the Shocker NXT’s pressure gauge to be certain you stay

within the Shocker NXT’s operating limits of 180 to 220 psi. Once adjustment is complete, lock the

setting in place by tightening the velocity lock screw.

When the Shocker NXT is turned on it will be

in Vision mode. The internal infra-red eye will

be used to detect whether or not a paintball

is in the breech. This feature practically elimi-

nates the possibility of a chopped paintball.

Vision mode is indicated by a constant glow

of the light in the power button. Vision mode

can be de-activated by pressing the power

button quickly while the Shocker NXT is on.

Vision mode off is indicated by a double-tap

blinking pattern on the power button light.

Vision mode may be turned back on by once

again pressing the power button.

The dwell and rate of re adjustments are made using the Shocker NXT’s two programming but-

tons. Removing the two grip screws on the left side of the Shocker NXT’s grip frame and folding

back the grip provides access to the programming buttons. The two buttons are small, gray and

rectangular in shape. They are mounted on the front side of the circuit board facing the left edge

for easy access. Notches in the board help to identify the buttons and make them easier to press.

The upper button is located near the top of the board, just below the wiring harness plug, and the

lower button is located near the bottom of the board, just above the round black speaker.

The dwell setting determines how long the Shocker NXT holds open its solenoid valve, which ulti-

mately affects how much gas is released to re each shot. It is important to balance the dwell and

the operating pressure (the setting of the vertical regulator). Too high of a dwell with a low operat-

ing pressure will cause poor gas efciency. Too low of a dwell will leave the Shocker NXT unable to

cycle through a full ring sequence. Dwell setting changes should not be used to adjust velocity.

The dwell value can be adjusted between 3 milliseconds (1ms = 0.001 seconds) and 18ms in

20.5ms increments. To adjust the dwell, make sure the Shocker NXT is already turned on and press

the upper dwell button once for every .25ms increase desired. The circuit board will chirp at each

adjustment to provide feedback that the dwell value has changed. To lower the dwell value press

the lower programming button once for every .25ms of dwell reduction. When either the lower or

upper dwell limits are reached, the circuit board will chirp rapidly in a lower tone. To set an exact

dwell value, cycle to either the upper or lower limit, and then step the dwell value the desired num-

ber of times.

To optimize your dwell setting, wear proper paintball protective goggles and gas up your Shocker

NXT with a barrel blocker in place and with no paint or hopper. Turn on the Shocker NXT and press

the power button once to de-activate Vision mode. Decrease the dwell time until the Shocker NXT

can no longer complete a full ring cycle (bolt does not close all the way) each time you pull the

trigger. Increase the dwell value one button press at a time, test ring after each change until you

hear the Shocker NXT re a full volume shot. Increase the dwell by an additional 10 to 15 button

presses to reach the setting for best gas efciency.

DWELL

08 800.922.2147 www.smartparts.com

The Rate of Fire adjustment determines how long the Shocker NXT will wait after activating the so-

lenoid valve before the next shot can be red. This time allows the bolt to return to its rear position,

gas pressure in the re chamber to be recharged, and for a new paintball to fall into the breech.

Increasing the rate of re setting will decrease the maximum rate of re the Shocker NXT is capable

of achieving.

The Rate of Fire setting is adjustable from 15ms to 70ms in 1ms intervals. To change the rate of re

setting, while the Shocker NXT is turned on, hold down the trigger and press the upper button to

increase the ROF setting and slow down how fast the Shocker NXT can shoot. Hold down the trig-

ger and press the lower button to decrease the value and speed up how fast the Shocker NXT can

shoot. As with the dwell settings a rapid chirp indicates you have reached the limit of adjustment.

It is important to remember that the

ROF setting is not the same as a rate of

re cap, or the maximum rate of re the

Shocker NXT can achieve. The maximum

rate of re or Cycles Per Second (CPS)

is calculated from a combination of the

Dwell setting and the ROF setting.

Cycle Time (milliseconds) = Dwell + ROF

The length of time needed for one com-

plete cycle equals the Dwell time plus

the ROF time (time in milliseconds, not

number of chirps.)

Cycle Time (Seconds) =

Cycle Time (milliseconds) / 1,000

To calculate the maximum CPS, the

cycle time will need to be converted

from milliseconds to seconds. This is

done by dividing it by 1,000.

CPS = 1 Second / Cycle Time (seconds)

The maximum cycle rate of a Shocker

NXT, for any given Dwell and ROF set-

tings can be easily calculated. Divide

one second by the cycle time to arrive

at the number of shots per second.

For elds or tournaments which require

paintguns be limited to a maximum rate of

re, you will need to make sure the Dwell

of your Shocker NXT is properly adjusted

and then calculate the proper ROF value

to create the desired CPS limit.

The Shocker NXT features ve modes of re, ranging from traditional semiautomatic (one shot per

full trigger pull) to four levels of Rebound, an enhanced ring mode. The Rebound setting affects

the electronic switch reset sensitivity. Essentially the higher the rebound setting, the less discrimi-

nating the marker is (and therefore easier to reach and maintain higher rates of re.)

To adjust the rebound setting degas the marker and turn it on, then open the grip panels as

though you were going to adjust the dwell. Press and hold the on/off button and immediately

press either the upper or lower programming button to adjust the Rebound setting.

NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT ENGAGE THE PROGRAMMING BUTTONS (WHILE HOLDING THE

POWER BUTTON) WITHIN TWO SECONDS, THE SHOCKER NXT WILL TURN OFF.

There are ve possible rebound values, and they are adjusted similar to the dwell. Press the bot-

tom programming button repeatedly until a rapid low chirp indicates you have reached a setting

of 1, the lowest setting. From there, pressing the up button will result in a chirp, and an increase

in the mode setting. At a setting of 1, Rebound is turned off, making the Shocker NXT legal at

paintball elds that restrict play to semi-automatic only. Progressing from settings of 2 through 5,

Rebound is activated, and becomes more sensitive, helping you achieve greater rates of re. After

the desired Rebound setting has been reached, release the power button.

IMPORTANT

The Shocker has four main points of trigger adjustment, providing you with the ability to set up

the perfect trigger for your style of play. Adjustments in the pre-travel, post-travel, return tension,

and switch activation are possible with a wide range of adjustment for each. It may be tempting to

set your Shocker NXT to the shortest, lightest trigger pull possible, and that is easy to do. Many

players, however opt for a slightly longer pull with enough resistance that the trigger resets more

positively, allowing them to walk the trigger to higher rates of re. No matter what kind of trig-

ger pull suits your fancy, it’s easy to get the Shocker NXT trigger balanced to your taste. All four

adjustment points are located in a row, on the front face of the trigger.

PRE—TRAVEL determines how far the trigger is allowed to swing forward after it is released.

The pre-travel screw is the bottom of the four adjustment screws on the trigger. To adjust your

pre-travel, use your .050” Allen wrench and turn out (counter clockwise) to allow the trigger to

reset further forward. Turn the set screw in (clockwise) to reduce pre-travel. Turning the pre-travel

screw too far in will keep the trigger from resetting after each shot. This will cause the trigger not

to activate. If you have adjusted your pre-travel and the Shocker will not re; begin to turn the

screw out until the Shocker will re.

POST—TRAVEL determines how far back the trigger is allowed to move. The post-travel adjust-

ment screw is the second up from the bottom, on the face of the trigger. To adjust post-travel, use

your .050” Allen wrench and turn in (clockwise) to reduce the distance your trigger can be pulled.

Turn the screw out (counter-clockwise) to increase the distance your trigger can be pulled. Turning

the post-travel screw too far will prevent the trigger from moving far enough back to activate the

switch. This will cause the Shocker NXT to not re. If you have adjusted your post-travel and the

Shocker will not re; begin to turn the screw out until the Shocker will re.

THE TRIGGER ACTIVATION POINT adjustment controls the point in the trigger pull where the

switch is activated. The trigger activation point screw is located in the third hole from the bot-

tom on the face of the trigger. To adjust the trigger activation point, use your .050” Allen wrench

and turn in (clockwise) to make the trigger activate earlier in the trigger pull or turn the screw out

(counter-clockwise) to activate later in the trigger pull. Turning the trigger activation point screw

too far in OR too far out can and will cause the trigger not to activate.

Turning the trigger activation point screw

in too far may cause SEVERE TRIGGER

SWITCH DAMAGE. When you nish

adjusting the pre-travel, post-travel and

trigger activation point screws, the trigger

should stop with the solid feel of the post-

travel screw making contact with the grip

frame. If the trigger activation point screw

is adjusted in too far, the trigger will feel

more “mushy” at the end of its stroke, and

the trigger switch may be damaged by

hard or rapid pulling.

When the trigger is out, pay attention to

how cool it is, and comment to your friends

that Smart Parts really cares about the

player – providing them with a top-notch

roller bearing adjustable trigger as stan-

dard equipment.

The bottom most trigger adjustment screw – the pre-travel adjuster – may

catch on the grip frame, preventing the trigger from being removed. If it

does, simply unscrew it counter-clockwise for a few turns with a 0.050-inch

Allen wrench, and try again.

Slide the trigger upward, and

forward. Move the bottom of the

trigger forward.

Using a 1/16-inch Allen wrench,

unscrew and remove the trigger

pivot pin.

To reinstall the trigger, simply slide it back into place, top end

rst. Then move it around until the roller bearing lines up with the

trigger pivot pin hole in the frame. Reinstall the trigger pivot pin,

and use the 1/16-inch Allen wrench to secure it. Be careful not to

over-tighten the trigger pin and cause the trigger to bind.

Check the trigger’s opera-

tion, and adjust as needed

to your preferred feel.

FIG. 14 TRIGGER PIVOT PIN

Setting the trigger resistance of the Shocker NXT is achieved through the top trigger adjustment hole.

Using your 0.050-inch Allen wrench, turning the trigger resistance screw in (clockwise) puts more com-

pression on the trigger return spring, increasing the trigger resistance. Turning the adjustment screw out

(counter-clockwise) will result in a lighter trigger pull.

IMPORTANT

At the end of each day’s use and before performing maintenance work on your Shocker NXT, it

will need to be degassed, and all paint will be removed. In an area where it is safe to shoot (the

chronograph area at a paintball eld) and while wearing paintball goggles, remove the hopper

from the Shocker NXT. By turning the Shocker NXT upside down, you can empty any extra paint-

balls from the feedneck into your hand. Turn the Shocker NXT on, then de-activate Vision mode

by pressing the power button momentarily. Dry-re 2 or 3 shots in a safe direction to ensure that

no paintballs remain in the Shocker NXT. Turn off the compressed air system or on/off ASA, or

unscrew the compressed air system or CO2 tank far enough to close its pin valve.

Continue to dry re the Shocker NXT in a safe direction until all of the gas pressure inside has

been released. At this point the only sound you should hear when you pull the trigger is the click

of the solenoid valve. Turn off the Shocker NXT.

If using a CO2 tank or screw in HPA system, unscrew it the rest of the way.

Even with no CO2 or compressed air

system attached, the Shocker NXT may

still have enough gas pressure stored

in the regulator and re chamber to re

2 or more shots. You must degas your

Shocker NXT before performing any of

these maintenance procedures.

Remove the re chamber

front from the re chamber,

by grasping it just behind

its front o-ring and pulling

steadily. For normal mainte-

nance and cleaning the re

chamber body does not need

to be removed from bolt. If

you suspect a leak in the re

chamber’s rear inner o-ring

(the Shocker NXT will not re

but you can hear its solenoid

click) or wish to replace this o-

ring, remove the bolt’s forward

o-ring with an o-ring pick.

Using a 3/16” Allen

Wrench, unscrew the

bolt guide (the rear of

the bolt guide forms

the end cap on the

back of the Shocker

NXT.)

Remove barrel of

DEGAS THE SHOCK-

ER AND MAKE SURE

NO PAINT IS IN THE

MARKER.

Use a non-marring tool at least 7

inches in length to remove the re

chamber. The handle of a wood-

en spoon, a piece of wooden

dowel, or even a plastic tooth-

brush will work well as long as it

made of a material soft enough

that it will not scratch the Shocker

NXT body or re chamber. Insert

the dowel from the front of the

marker, angling it slightly towards

the wall of the marker body so

that it rests on the visible front

section of the re chamber. Push

gently but rmly on the re cham-

ber until it emerges from the rear

of the body. Set aside the dowel

and pull the entire bolt assembly

out.

Remove the bolt guide

from the bolt assembly.

Remove the bolt sleeve

from the bolt. Set

aside both parts.

DISASSEMBLY

01 02

Clean and inspect the bolt and bolt sleeve, checking

for o-ring damage. Wipe down both internally and

externally before greasing liberally and reassembling.

Slide the re chamber forward and liberally grease the

exposed section of the bolt before sliding it back into

position. This will ensure that the rear inner o-ring on

the re chamber is properly lubricated. Reassemble

by setting the bolt sleeve on a at surface, ared end

facing down. Apply SL33K pneumatic grease liberally

to the external bolt o-ring and the inch or so behind it.

Apply grease to the internal bolt sleeve seal, midway

down the internal diameter of the bolt sleeve. Insert

the bolt into the bolt sleeve with the four hole bolt face

pointing up, and the ared end of the bolt sleeve fac-

ing down. Grease the four external bolt sleeve o-rings

liberally. Lay the bolt guide on a at surface, so the

guide tip points up. Grease all three o-rings on the bolt

guide. The two small o-rings on the shaft should be

greased more liberally than the larger rear o-ring.

Clean the re chamber and re chamber

front, and inspect their o-rings for dam-

age. Replace worn or damaged o-rings.

Pay special attention to the two internal

o-rings that seal against the bolt. Make

sure they are clean and undamaged.

Also be sure to clean the inside of the

re chamber to prevent dirt and grease

buildup. Wiping both the external and

internal surfaces with a paper towel or

soft rag is ideal. Grease the outer and

inner o-rings liberally with SL33K. If you

removed the re chamber from the bolt,

place them back together and reinstall

the front bolt o-ring. Thread the re

chamber front over the front of the bolt

and snap it into the re chamber. Set

aside.

Install the bolt and bolt sleeve

on the bolt guide by sliding both

combined pieces over the bolt

guide. The bolt and bolt sleeve

should rest at the bottom of

the bolt guide, directly touch-

ing the end cap section. Make

sure that the ared end of the

bolt sleeve is closest to the end

cap section of the bolt guide.

Reinstall the whole assembly in the Shocker

NXT by gently, but rmly pushing it into the

body. Keep pushing in by hand until the re

chamber stops against the front of the body.

Also make sure that the assembly goes in

smoothly and that none of the external o-

rings are displaced or cut as they pass the

cut outs or threads in the body. Do not force

the parts to go in, as this may cut o-rings.

Instead, wiggle the parts slightly back and

forth while applying light forward pressure to

make the o-rings seat properly. At this point,

only the threads on the bolt guide should be

showing outside the Shocker body. Lightly

tap the bolt guide from the rear with the palm

of your hand, then screw bolt guide back in

with your 3/16” Allen wrench.

Degas the Shocker NXT, and

remove the macroline hose

from the regulator. Unscrew

the regulator from the Shocker

NXT’s vertical ASA. Using a

3/32-inch Allen wrench, remove

the velocity lock screw.

Remove the rubber cover from

the lower part of the vertical regu-

lator. This will expose the vertical

safety screw slot.

Use a 5/8-inch open-end

wrench, or adjustable wrench

to turn the adjuster cap on the

bottom of the regulator, as if

you were adjusting velocity, until

the safety screw is visible in the

vertical safety screw slot. The

safety screw ensures that the

regulator will not be unscrewed

too far during normal use. Use

a 3/32-inch Allen wrench to

remove the safety screw.

The adjuster cap is left-hand thread-

ed. Turn it clockwise to unscrew it

from the vertical regulator body. Use

the open end or adjustable wrench

to completely remove the adjuster

cap.

Locate the lock screw halfway up the

side of the regulator body, and remove

it with a 3/32-inch Allen wrench. The

lock screw secures the spring platform

in place. Now that it is unlocked, use

a 9/16-inch deep well socket and

ratchet to remove the spring platform,

by unscrewing it clockwise (the spring

platform is also left-hand threaded.)

The hex faces on the spring platform

are short, so you will need to exert

a steady pressure on the socket, to

maintain contact.

The regulator spring and washer

should fall easily out of the

regulator body once the spring

platform is removed.

The regulator piston may

require light pressure from an

Allen wrench through the top

of the regulator body. Use a

gentle hand here, as the brass

of the regulator piston can be

scratched by hard tools.

09 10

When the spring platform is fully seated, it will be visible through the

lock screw hole in the side of the regulator. Lock it in place by reinstall-

ing the lock screw. Reinstall the pressure adjuster cap by screwing it

counter-clockwise into the regulator body. Turn it until the safety screw

aligns with the safety screw slot. Put a small amount of blue Loctite

242 threadlocker or equivalent (even clear ngernail polish can do in a

pinch) on the safety screw. Reinstall the safety screw.

Be certain that the safety screw is fully seated and the adjuster cap can

turn freely.

Place the regulator spring on

the regulator piston assembly,

followed by the regulator washer.

Hold the regulator body ASA side

down, and slide these three parts

into the body. Lower the spring

platform into the regulator body

nut side up, and use the 9/16-

inch deep well socket to screw it

into place with a counter-clock-

wise motion.

Clean all of the regulator parts

with a soft cloth or paper towel.

Inspect all o-rings and the

regulator seat (the clear part on

the end of the piston) for dam-

age, and replace if necessary.

Lubricate the o-rings on the

piston assembly with SL33K.

Do not lubricate the regula-

tor seat or the o-ring on the

adjuster cap.

Reinstall the rubber guard over the safety screw slot, and reinstall the regu-

lator into the vertical ASA of the Shocker NXT. Reconnect the macroline,

and be sure to use a chronograph to re-adjust the Shocker NXT’s velocity

before use. Reinstall and lock the velocity lock screw.

Parts of the Shocker NXT’s vertical

regulator use left-handed threads.

These parts must be turned

counter-clockwise to screw them

in, and clockwise to unscrew them

– the opposite direction of normal

screws.

FIG. 21 BALL DETENT ASSEMBLY

Inspect the ball detent

assembly. The plunger

should be round, and

smooth. It should be

able to depress into the

ball detent cover under

light nger pressure,

and spring back in-

stantly when released.

Use a cotton swab

and rubbing alcohol to

clean the ball detent

opening in the Shocker

NXT body.

Use a 1/16-inch Allen wrench to

remove one of the Shocker NXT’s

ball detent covers. The wrench

should be inserted into the small

hole in the cover, where it will

engage a screw. Fully unscrew the

ball detent screw, and the entire

cover can be lifted away. The ball

detent cover screw ts into a key-

hole slot in the ball detent cover, a

small foam pad should prevent it

from falling out, but keep a close

eye on it just in case.

If your Shocker NXT is equipped with a

reective Vision eye, the LED/Sensor head

will be sitting underneath the left side

ball detent cover. If your Shocker NXT is

equipped with a break-beam Vision eye,

the LED head will be under one cover, while

the sensor head will be under the opposite

side cover. Both the Vision eye and the

pathway between it and the breech should

be clean and free from paint or debris. If

they are fouled, clean them with rubbing

alcohol and a cotton swab. Be extremely

gentle, as the Vision eye is delicate. You

do not need to remove the Vision eye to

inspect it. Vision eye removal requires

removal of the grip frame.

If the ball detent plunger or its spring are worn and need

replacing, this is a relatively simple task. Look at the ball

detent cover from the bottom, and press the plunger in

and out. You should see one of the plunger’s ngers mov-

ing back and forth across the detent release hole. Take

your 1/16-inch Allen wrench, and reach it into the release

hole. Use the Allen wrench to pry outward on the backside

of the ball detent plunger. Once the plunger is popped

loose, you may pull it out of the ball detent cover with your

ngers or a pair of needle-nosed pliers. You will probably

damage the ball detent spring in the process, and for this

reason it is normal to replace both the plunger and spring

at the same time. If you are careful to not put the wrench

in any further than is needed to pry against the closest

edge of the plunger, you can avoid damage to the ball

detent spring.

Carefully clean the ball detent cover with

rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab. Install the

new ball detent plunger, with its spring beneath

it, into the ball detent cover. You will need to

pinch the plunger’s ngers inward and wiggle

it until it presses inside the cover and latches

into place. Be careful, and make sure you are

doing this in a clean work area – if you slip, the

spring can jump away from you, and it is much

easier to nd on a nice clean work table than in

deep shag carpet or between burger wrappers

in the back seat of a car.

The ball detent plunger is made of self-lubricating material.

Do not oil or grease the plunger or spring.

When reinstalling the ball detent cover to the body, make

sure that the retention screw lines up with the screw hole in

the top of the Vision eye’s ex strip. As you lower the ball

detent cover into place, be certain that the Vision eye is also

lining up properly and not being crushed. A gentle pull on

the Vision eye ex strip from the bottom of the body may be

necessary to keep the Vision eye in. Use the 1/16-inch Allen

wrench to screw in the ball detent cover screw.

Using the 5/32” Allen wrench, unscrew and remove the two grip

frame screws.

CAREFULLY separate the grip frame from the body, paying careful

attention to the wiring harness attached to the circuit board at the

midway point of the grip frame. Pull wiring through grip frame gently

and set aside grip frame assembly.

The wiring harness carries

electrical signals between the

Shocker NXT’s lower (grip frame)

circuit board and the Vision

circuit board which is mounted

on the solenoid valve. Remove

the wiring harness by getting as

close to the lower circuit board

as possible and gently removing

the wiring harness plug in a

careful side to side motion until

the harness plug comes free.

It is not necessary to remove

the 9-volt battery from the

grip frame, but you may nd

it easier to complete the next

step if you rst remove the 9-

volt battery and unplug it from

the battery clip.

Remove the four screws that hold

the rubber grip on the grip frame,

and remove the rubber grip.

Degas the Shocker NXT. Discon-

nect the macroline running from

the ASA or compressed air

regulator to the Shocker NXT’s

vertical regulator.

Use caution while handling the Shocker NXT Body. Excess strain on

the solenoid valve can damage the ne threads of its mount screws.

The Solenoid valve should not be removed during normal mainte-

nance.

FIG. 23 WIRING HARNESS

FIG. 25 PORT INSERTS

Due to the internal gas ltering built into the Shocker

NXT, removal and or disassembly of the solenoid

valve is not required during regular maintenance and

may actually shorten its service life. Leave it where it

is and lead a happy life.

FIG. 24 REMOVING GRIP FRAME

Located below the Bolt Guide on the rear of the Shocker NXT are the threaded ends of two port inserts.

The Port Inserts are slender rods equipped with very ne o-rings. They serve to divide gas passages

inside the Shocker NXT. Correct installation of the Port Inserts requires the use of specialized pneumatic

alignment equipment at the Smart Parts factory. Improper installation can damage the Port Insert seals

and misalignment will prevent the Shocker NXT from functioning. The Port Inserts and their o-rings are

non-wear items and do not ever need to be removed for the Shocker NXT for anything short of body mill-

ing or anodizing. Even if someone offers you free beer and pizza, do not remove the Port Inserts.

Reinstall the ball detent covers and grip frame, then congratulate yourself

on a job well done.

Plug the bottom end of the ex strip into the solenoid circuit board.

The metal contacts on the ex strip should be facing away from the

Shocker NXT body.

To install a reective Vision eye,

thread its tail into the Vision slot

next to the right side ball detent

opening. Guide the ex strip out the

bottom of the body. For a break-

beam Vision eye, install from the

Vision opening in the bottom of the

receiver. One at a time, carefully

guide the eyes up to the ball detent

openings. This will require some

gentle wiggling of the ex strip to

achieve. Here again, your 1/16 inch

Allen Wrench may be helpful in

guiding the eyes to their appropri-

ate channels.

Reective Vision eyes are on a single ex-strip, and break-beam eyes

have a Y-shaped strip. Unplug the bottom end of the strip from the so-

lenoid (upper) circuit board. Remove a reective Vision eye by grasping

its eye end and gently wiggling the ex strip up and out of the body. Re-

move a break-beam Vision eye by rst lifting each eye out of its recess

in the body. The 1/16 inch Allen Wrench may be helpful in this task.

Then gently pull the bottom end of the ex strip and carefully guide the

two eye ends into the body and out the bottom one at a time. Inspect

the Vision eye ex strip for damage. The eyes must be removed one

at a time, as they may be damaged by trying to pass them through the

opening together. Damage to the infra-red LED and detector, scratches

across its circuit traces, or cracks or sharp bends in the ex strip can all

cause Vision failure, and are signs to replace the ex strip.

The Vision eyes are what the

Shocker NXT’s circuits use to

determine if a paintball has been

loaded into the breech.

To remove or install a Vision eye,

remove the grip frame from the

body. Reective Vision eyes are

located under the right side ball

detent cover, and beam-break

eyes are positioned under both

ball detent covers. Remove the

appropriate cover(s) for your type

of eye.

FIG. 26 BREAK BEAM EYE

FIG. 27 UNPLUGGING FLEX STRIP

The Shocker NXT circuit board features 3 Vision modes: Break-Beam Vision, Toggle Vision and Reective Vision.

Break-Beam Vision is the standard Vision mode for the Shocker NXT, and works with Shocker Break–Beam Vision

eyes. In Vision mode the Shocker NXT will not re unless a paintball is in the breech, breaking the beam between

the infrared emitter and detector.

If the ball detent plungers become excessively worn, or improperly tting aftermarket ball detents, or an aftermar-

ket body is used, it is possible for the Shocker NXT to be loaded, and for the paintball to roll forward of the Vision

beam. In this case, Vision can still be used by switching to Toggle Vision Mode. In Toggle Vision mode the Shocker

NXT will re after the break beam has detected a paintball, even if the ball has rolled forward and the beam is no

longer broken. Toggle Vision mode will automatically bypass the Vision eyes if they become blocked by debris,

defaulting to limited rate of re.

Reective Vision Mode allows the Shocker NXT to be backwards compatible with older Shocker SFT custom

bodies, which only have room for a Reective Vision eye. Reective Vision should only be used when a Reective

Vision eye is installed.

SELECTING VISION MODES

The type of Vision the Shocker NXT will use is

selected by holding down the mode buttons and

turning the Shocker NXT on. With the Shocker NXT

unloaded and degassed, open the grip and hold

down the top programming button, then turn the

Shocker on to select Break–Beam Vision. Use the

lower button to select Toggle Vision, or both but-

tons at the same time to select Reective Vision.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

01 02 04

Look carefully at the wiring

harness. There is a raised line

on the side of the wiring har-

ness plug that prevents it from

being plugged in backwards.

This line should be closest to

the battery, on the side of the

connector away from the cir-

cuit board. Push the harness

plug in rmly until it stops.

Use a thumbnail to make sure

the plug is fully seated by

pushing on its edges.

Thread in the two grip frame

screws and tighten them with

the 5/32-inch Allen wrench. Now

reconnect the wiring harness to

the lower board.

Getting the wires caught

between the on/off switch

and on/off buton may cause

severe damage to the wires

and or the on/off button.

To reconnect the grip frame, bring the body and grip frame close

together, very gently inserting the wiring harness directly through

the opening in the top of the grip frame, just above the battery.

Now bring the grip frame and body all the way together, taking ex-

tra care not to allow any of the black wires to get wedged between

the clear on/off button of the grip frame and the on/off switch lo-

cated on the back end of the upper circuit board (the on/off button

is small and gray, like the programming buttons.)

The rubber grip can be reinstalled, along

with its four screws.

SHOCKER IS DIFFICULT TO SWITCH ON/OFF.

— The battery is low or dead. Inspect and replace.

— Solenoid wiring harness is in the way of the on/off button and on/off switch. Remove the grip

frame. Relocate wires away from switch and check for damage. Reassemble properly.

BREAKING PAINT.

— Paint to barrel match is wrong. The paint you are using is too large for the barrel you are

shooting it through. Get a Freak System and select the proper size insert, or nd a paintball that

ts your barrel properly.

— Ball Detents are damaged or missing. Check to make sure ball detent plungers are intact and

reactive on both sides. Replace if damaged or missing.

— Paint is too low quality or too brittle. Switch to a name brand, high quality manufacturer.

— Turn on Vision eye (if so equipped).

— Check Shocker battery. It may be low, causing incomplete cycling.

— Loader may not be keeping up. Check loader batteries or use a faster loader.

AIR LEAKS DOWN THE BARREL WHEN GASSING UP THE SHOCKER.

— The o-rings on the internal surface of the re chamber are worn. Clean and inspect the bolt assem–

bly and lubricate thoroughly.

WHEN GASSED UP, LITTLE OR NO AIR SEEMS TO BE GETTING TO THE SHOCKER.

— Degas, then remove the internals. Check for o-ring binding, grease with SL33K, then reinstall.

— Bolt may be jammed, check for paint shell or debris.

AIR IS LEAKING INSIDE THE SHOCKER.

— Manifold mounting screws are loose. Tighten screws to stop the leak but DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

— Solenoid screws are loose. Tighten screws to stop the leak but DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

— Solenoid may require servicing. Contact Smart Parts.

THE SHOCKER IS GASSED UP, BUT WILL NOT SHOOT.

— Turn the Shocker NXT on.

— Battery may be dead. Replace with fresh name brand alkaline 9-volt battery.

— Check to see if solenoid wiring harness has come free from either end of the circuit board.

Reconnect, if necessary.

— Vision eye is on but no paint is loaded. Add paintballs or turn Vision off.

TROUBLESHOOTING

800.922.2147 www.smartparts.com

IMPORTANT

SHOCKER NXT TURNS ON & CHIRPS BUT POWER LIGHT DOESN’T COME ON & GUN DOESN’T FIRE.

— Trigger activation screw is in too far.

THE SHOCKER IS DROPPING OFF VELOCITY DURING RAPID FIRE.

— Clean and lubricate the Shocker NXT, making a careful inspection of the bolt and ring chamber

o-rings.

— Reset the dwell for optimum efciency, see the Dwell Section for more details.

— Change to a fresh name brand 9-volt alkaline battery.

THE SHOCKER HAS LOW VELOCITY OR WON’T FIRE.

— Your battery is low. Replace with fresh name brand 9-volt alkaline battery.

— Turn the on/off valve on all the way.

— Check your operating pressure so that it’s between 190-220psi. Increase pressure up to 220psi,

if necessary.

— The Dwell setting may be too low, causing the bolt to return before enough gas has been re–

leased to get the paintball up to speed. Try increasing the Dwell setting, especially if the pres–

sure is already as high as 190 psi.

— Clean and inspect regulator.

— Clean, inspect and lubricate the Shocker NXT’s internals.

— Check paint to barrel match. Paint may be too large or too small for the barrel you are shooting

it through. Consider a Freak Barrel System or nd a paintball that ts your barrel properly.

— Replace the rear ring chamber o-ring.

THE SHOCKER HAS FIRST SHOT DROP OFF (FSDO)

— If the Shocker NXT res at low velocity or will not re on the rst trigger pull after sitting still for

a few minutes, but res at proper velocity on all subsequent shots, this rst shot drop off may be

caused by dirt or under lubrication. Degas, disassemble, clean and inspect the bolt assembly.

Liberally lubricate the bolt assembly with SL33K Shocker Lubricant upon reassembly.

— If First Shot Drop Off continues after cleaning and lubrication, increase the dwell setting. See the

Dwell Section for more details on Dwell adjustment.

THE VISION EYE IS NOT WORKING/THE SHOCKER WILL NOT FIRE IN VISION MODE.

— Make sure you are in Vision Mode. The power LED should be glowing steadily.

— Make sure the Vision Mode used matches the type of vision eye installed–see vision eye removal.

— Inspect, and if necessary clean the Vision eyes and breech.

— If the ball detent plungers are worn, or you are using aftermarket ball detents and or an after–

market body, it is possible that the paintball in the breech is rolling forward of the Vision beam.

If this is the case, either replace the detent plungers, aftermarket detent, or aftermarket body, or

switch to Toggle Vision mode.

DIFFICULTY SEPARATING BODY FROM GRIP FRAME.

— Aftermarket grip screws may be so long that they are catching on the upper curcuit board. Use

only Shocker NXT grip screws.

OLDER MODEL SHOCKER BOARD WILL NOT FIT IN GRIP FRAME.

— Early model boards with the switch in the inverted position won’t t. As a solution either use a

newer board, or have an airsmith invert the switch

SHOCKER NXT SHOOTS FASTER THAN TOURNAMENTS ALLOW

— At some paintball elds or tournaments you may face rules that limit how fast a marker may re.

To slow down how fast the Shocker NXT can re, you will need to rein it in by raising the ROF

setting, which makes it wait longer after each shot. With the Shocker NXT degassed, unloaded

and guarded with a barrel blocker, open the grip, turn on the Shocker and press the lower adjust–

ment button while holding down the trigger. See the Rate of Fire/Rebound Section for details on

ROF adjustment and calculating maximum cycle rates.

WARRANTY

Smart Parts warrants for one (1) year to initial retail

The valve assembly is warranted for six (6) months. The

solenoid and electronics on the marker are warranted for

six (6) months, plus an additional warranty of six months

for electronic parts only (installation and labor are not

included.) This warranty does not cover surface damages

(scratches and nicks), misuse, improper disassembly

and re-assembly, attempts made to drill holes or remove

metal from the external surfaces which could degrade

performance and reduce pressure safety factors of the

marker. Do not make changes to the basic marker parts

without written approval. The only authorized lubricant for

the marker is SL33K Lubricant. Use of any other lubricant

could result in voiding your warranty. Paintball mark-

ers are non-refundable. This warranty is limited to repair

or replacement of defective parts with the customer to

pay shipping costs. This warranty is effective only if the

customer returns the warranty registration card enclosed

with the marker. The warranty is non-transferrable. Do not

attempt to alter the trigger assembly in any way, as this

will void your Smart Parts Inc. warranty. Trigger alteration

of any kind may result in serious injury.
