The EviL Omen FAQ
Q: How do I adjust my evil omen if it does not come working?
A: It should come ready to fire; you most likely will have to adjust the re-cock and velocity before you play. It should come from the factory already adjusted, but mine was not, and if the re-cock is set to high, you could loose a bumper, chop alot, and get massive recoil.
When you get your omen, here what I suggest you do:
Find the locking screw on the Omen's regulator. Loosen the Scew so you can turn the adjusting ring or coller around the Reg's main body. When looking at the regulator from the bottem turn it clockwise to decrease the pressure. Turn it all the way down the turn it about 2 times back up. leave the regulators coller losse, and get your .05 allen key out.
Find the recock screw located in the middle on the Omens body and use the .05 allen key, turning the screw clockwise (right) till the screw bottems out. Then turn the screw counterclockwise (left) about a quarter-of-a-turn(1/4th).
Hand feed one paintball into the Omen feedneck and pull the back block back to load the ball into the chamber and to cock the gun. Shoot the gun over the crono and take note of the velocity.
Turn the reg up a little more and cock the gun and shoot with no paint 2 times manually. Load another ball, cock the gun and crono that ball again. Continue this untill the balls are shooting 10 FPS FASTER then what you want your gun to be shooting. Tighten down the locking screw on the regulator. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Get your .05 Allen key out again.
Turn the re-cock screw counterclockwise (left) in about 1/4-1/2 incoments. each time cock the gun and shoot it. Do this untill the gun will recock each time on it's own in rappid fire. get it as low as posible then turn the recock out 1/4 higher to compensate for error or shooting faster on the field.
GO out and have fun!
Q: How do I adjust the regulators pressure?
A: There is a ring located on the middle of the Regulator. This ring is held by a friction screw, to adjust the reg loosen the screw. Instead of bothering with the closewise method that always got people confused as to how to look and the gun and turn it which way.
While you are looking at your gun from the side that the recock screw is located, turn the ring right to decrease pressure, and turn the Ring left to raise the pressureTighten the screw when it’s adjusted properly. Simply remember it's the oposite of lefty-Lower, righty-Raise
Q: How does the CAM feed work?
A:
Think of it more as a two-stage seesaw with reeds.
The two reeds, which are spring loaded, sit to the right of the ball waiting to push it into the breech, but the bolt is closed holding a ball in the barrel.
When you pull the trigger, the inside striker goes forward, shoots the ball and starts the re-cock.
When the inner/outer striker comes back, it brings the bolt with it.
On the right side of the bolt are cutaways.
The first groove or cutaway on in the back has the reeds in the full right position.
As the bolt comes back, the cutaway in the bolt is less and the reeds start to move the waiting ball towards the breech.
As the bolt uncovers the feed, the cutaway in the bolt disappears and the reeds move fully to the left and push the ball into the breech.
The reed on the outside is a little wider and does not go fully into the side of the body and acts as a ball stop to keep another ball from falling into the ready position.
As the bolt goes forward, it pushes the ball into the barrel and the reeds go back to the far right and allow another ball to fall into place waiting for it's turn to chamber…
Q:Why is my gun not re-cocking, even with the recock adjust al the way out?
A:
This can be cause by a couple of miss adjustments.
First check your Strikers bumper, if it is broke, teres the problem, this is cause by having the recock to high. If it's is not broken it is probally cause by over pressurizing the gun. When there is to much pressure behind the valve, the Omens striker is not able to open he cup seal enough to shoot or re-cock the gun. The regulators output must be with in a curtan range to work properly. Turn your regulator all the way down, and adjust your recock all the way in. Start from stratch and slowing bring your regulators pressure up till you velocity is 10 fps faster then you want it. Then start the re-cock sweet-spotting prosses.
Q: Can the Evil Omen use CO2?
Yes and No. While the Omen will operate using Co2 it's not a very good idea. Co2 is a corrosive a dirty Gas. After prolonged use Orings will start to grim up and corrode and will have be be replace well before there time. It also puts more wear and tear on all the parts of the paintball gun were the gas is present.
If you absolutly can not use HPA at the time, an anti-siphen tank is your next option. These Co2 tanks should never be fill all the way and should always be placed on the gun in the correct manner to ensure no liquid gets into the regulator. If liquid get's past the regulator and into the valve chamber, the liquid will expand at any wear from 700-1800 psi. The normal operation pressure of the Omen is 300 psi...so your going to get massive hots shots that can blow a paintball into peaces inside the barrel. It will also over pressurize the recock, thus making the Gun recoil really bad and over powering the CAM feed, smacking a ball in the breach really hard, and potentially busting a ball inside the breach.

OMENWORKERS OUT OF BOX INSTRUCTIONS for OMEN
heh guys. ive noticed quite a few threads concerning omen newbie problems with omens. i thought i would give the forum a place to refer new owners on the how to set up a NIB omen. I'm placing the instructions in order with a number indicating the sequence in which the instructions should be completed... So, 1. means first, 2. means second, and so on and so forth....
so here we go with number one....
1. be proud, you are now an owner of an evil marker called the omen. cut the protective film from the box, lift the lid and admire for approximately 10-15 mins. show your friends what you got, show your mom.... its cool....
2. take that thing that accompanied your omen in the box that looks like a black block with a wire coming out of it (aka charger), and plug the small end into the trigger frame, and plug the big block side into the wall (if youre scared of electric shock get a parent to do it), now leave it there for 24 hours (aka one full day and night), this will also give you plenty of time to read the manual about 80 times.... you might be able to get by only reading it 50 times if you are a quick learner
3. This step isnt in the instructions: ok so your omen is fully charged and ready to sling paint right?
WRONG, this step is what us seasoned vets like to call breaking in the detonator. this step requires alot of air and/or co2.... it consist of 3000-4000 dry fires. sounds like alot doesnt it... well it is in all honesty... but necesary if you want your first day of play with the omen to be a good one. (and so you wont post "my omen sucks" threads). this period will also train your fingers for the omen trigger so when you are done you will be mowing all your friends and they will cry....
ok if your are using paintball gun oil..... drop 4-5 drops in the bottomline, attach air, cock, and gas up.....shoot the whole tank (assuming your using a 68/4500, if you are using something else do the math) take the tank off... drop 4-5 drops in the bottomline, attach air, cock, and gas up.....shoot the whole tank, repeat until youve reached about 4000 shots, (with a 68/4500, thats about 3-4 tank fulls). *if you use grease in your omen, the application of the lube once before you start should be good, after the break in, i would take the det down, clean and relube*
4. ok so now your omen is ready to mow.... buy some paint(more than you use to buy with that model 98 you use to own, trust me, youll see why once you start playing), put a hopper on... and set up your velocity and recock as per manual (and you know how to do this because you read the manual 80 times). go out and be evil.... put welts on people in places they didnt know they had..... lol
Q: How do I adjust my evil omen if it does not come working?
