battery compartment. If they don’t fit, please don’t force them as this may cause damage.

Pressure and Velocity Adjustment

The velocity can be adjusted by adjusting the pressure.  Locate the Pressure Adjustment 

Screw and using the 3/32” Hex wrench, turn the screw clockwise (inward) to increase the 

pressure (and velocity).  Turn the screw counter-clockwise to decrease the pressure.

Turn on the Vanquish and enter the LIVE mode on the display (see below for more detail).  

Press and hold the D-pad to the Left or Right for 1 second at a time to change displayed infor-

mation.  Repeat this process until the display cycles to pressure reading.  This visual indicator 

will help determine the correct pressure/velocity you desire.

Trigger Adjustment

There are five adjustments that can be made on the on the trigger.  Use the 3/32” hex wrench 

to make any desired adjustments:

A.  Magnetic Tension – this affects how “hard” the pull of the trigger is

    - Turning the adjustment screws “in” or clockwise will increase the force needed to pull  

       the trigger

B.   Forward Travel – This adjusts the position of the trigger when not being fired

    - Turning the adjustment screws “in” or clockwise will decrease the trigger length of    

       travel

C.   Stop – This adjusts the farthest position the trigger will travel when depressed

    - Turning the adjustment screws “in” or clockwise will decrease the travel of the trigger  

       by having the trigger stop sooner

D.   Activation Point – This adjusts the position where the trigger pull registers a shot

    - Turning the adjustment screws “in” or clockwise will decrease the travel of the trigger  

       needed before the Vanquish registers a shot

E.  Spring Tension - Unscrew for more tension and more resistance.  This adjustment can only  

         be made by removing the trigger or by splitting the body and foregrip (see page 23).
