6. REGULATOR AND VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT
The MINI GS utilizes a fully functional Bottomline Regulator at the bottom of the Grip Frame that
doubles as an ASA adaptor/receiver for a standard threaded pre-set output compressed air sys-
tem. This unique regulator system channels air through a chamber in the Grip Frame eliminating
the need for external macroline and fittings. The Bottomline Regulator controls the amount of air
pressure going from your compressed air system into the marker itself.
The MINI GS regulator should be pre-set at 200 PSI, as this is the best operating pressure for
firing the marker. However, if over time you do need to adjust the pressure, only use the Regula-
tor Adjuster Screw on the front of your Bottomline Regulator. Never adjust the regulator above
250psi.
REGULATOR ADJUSTMENT
If adjustments are needed use a 3/32” hex wrench and insert it into the regulator adjustment
screw. This is located in the front of the regulator.(Fig 6-1)
- Increase pressure turn Clockwise.
- Decrease pressure turn Counter-clockwise.
Notes:
- Always watch the gauge as you are adjusting the pressure.
- Do NOT use CO2!!!
- The Bottomline Regulator should not be disassembled.
- Never set the regulator above 210 psi.
ADJUSTING THE VELOCITY
At the back of the MINI GS main Body is the Bolt Guide Cap. The hex screw in the Bolt Guide Cap
serves as your velocity adjuster. Confirm that the pressure on your Bottomline Regulator is at or
below 200 PSI. Then you can increase or decrease the velocity on your MINI GS by tightening
or loosening the velocity adjustment screw with a 3/32” inch hex wrench. (Fig 6-2) A paintball
specific radar chronograph should be used to accurately measure your velocity.
- Increase Velocity
Unscrew or loosen the velocity adjustment screw
by turning it counterclockwise.
Rotate the velocity adjustment screw counter-
clockwise in small increments (1/4 turn or less),
stopping between slight turns to test velocity,
until desired velocity is achieved. Do not back
the adjuster out past being flush.
Stop if you hear an air leak, and adjust back in
a 1/4 turn.
- Decrease Velocity
Tighten or screw-in the velocity adjustment screw by turning it Clockwise. Rotate the velocity
adjustment screw Clockwise in small increments (1/4 turn or less), stopping between slight turns
to test velocity, until desired velocity is achieved.
Notes:
- This marker was designed with safety and safety standards in mind. If you attempt to shoot paintballs at a higher
velocity than established safety standards, the marker may not function properly.
- If you attempt to operate the marker at extremely high velocities, the internals will not function properly.
- This marker is not designed to shoot above the safety limits established by industry standards but under certain
conditions it may. It is therefore important to check the velocity each time before playing with your Mini.
7. SHOCKWAVE BOARD SETTINGS AND FUNCTIONS
The electronic board features several modes and functions that are listed below. The board is
located inside the front Foregrip of the marker. Before changing or adjusting any of the board
functions, remove the propellant source from the MINI GS and install a barrel blocking device.
The board inside your MINI GS features 4 firing modes and 6 adjustable functions. It uses a 3
color LED indicator on the backside of the front Foregrip to indicate functions and modes during
programming.
TOURNAMENT LOCK
Tournament lock is a feature that prevents the marker from entering the Settings Mode while
in the field, to allow the marker to be tournament legal. See your tournament’s rule book for an
explanation on what is required to lock your marker. Tournament Lock can be turned on/off by
using the dip switch 1 located on the inside of the Foregrip near the bottom of the circuit board.
Flip dip switch #1 to the ON (UP when laying flat) position to activate the Tournament Lock. (Fig
7-1) When tournament lock is ON, Settings
Mode cannot be activated
SETTINGS MODE
The MINI GS must be Off and the Tourna-
ment Lock must be Off to begin managing
the settings and functions. To activate the
marker in Settings Mode, press and hold the
Trigger, then press and hold the button on
the back side of the Foregrip. The LED will
cycle through an array of colors to indicate the Settings mode is active. You may now release
the Trigger and the button. Once the LED is done cycling you are ready to navigate through
settings mode.
