Empire Axe Programming Tutorial - Firing Modes

This is a basic tutorial on navigating the fire modes/functions on the 2012+ Empire Axe (newer boards).

[@Skyfallark]

6 years later and this video is still SUPER helpful thank you so much

[@BDTube2006]

Hhah, thanks dude.

[@SwayzeGaming]

just got an axe 2.0 and didnt come with manual. this video was perfect and explained clearly how to program it. thanks so much!

[@BDTube2006]

SwayzeGaming congrats on the new marker! You certainly won't be disappointed. Thank you for the feedback!

[@tp2mp1]

Ok I work at O.F.F. Limits Paintball in Louisiana. I just started March of last year and knew nothing about paintball. I have been wanting an axe since late last year. I shot one for the first time only at targets and finally got to play with (was actually the same gun I shot targets at) one just last saturday and fell in LOVE with it! I just bought one today and it is coming with a freak kit and a redline OLED board and foregrip for a very good deal! All I know about this marker is that a lot of people love this gun and that I also do. This video (even though it may not help me with mine) is very helpful! I thank you sir for posting this.

[@BDTube2006]

Working for a paintball field--nice! You can't say you hate your job :D Ha! That's awesome! The Axe hands down is a machine gun--I too love this marker. You've heard the saving, "Axe + Cash", you know why that's so popular?! ...because everyone has one! Ha! Thank you for the comment, and if you have any questions, feel free to post up. Thanks again!

[@ConnorM12.]

9 years ago and this video was amazing and helpful thankyou

[@BDTube2006]

Awesome! Thanks! Glad it could help!!

[@incroyable2930]

Best video out here! This was explained so much better than others. You made this so simple.

[@BDTube2006]

Perfect! Glad it worked out! Wonderful comment! Thank you--it's appreciated!

[@uhhfruitybear3827]

Thanks for making this video! I'll be getting my empire axe soon and I will definitely reference this video if I ever have a question about the different modes.

[@MumblesMedia]

Literally waiting for an OG axe in the mail and this is going to help so much! Thank you man, have a new sub for sure!

[@IcanSPELLmyNAMEOG]

This video was perfect for me btw. I just got my axe and had some problems and was just confused and you helped me with a huge chunk of my issues. Thank you for making such a well done explanatory that gets right to the point! AMAZING VIDEO

[@BDTube2006]

Awesome! Thank you for he feedback--it's greatly appreciated.

[@bigjaeroc8895]

Buying a used axe tomorrow. This video really helped. Thanks man

[@alejandrocariman9822]

Enjoyed the video man, loved how you broke it down to the very basics.

[@BDTube2006]

Thank you sir!

[@josephmurphy7603]

thank you so much man, finally decided after 6 years to stop using my axe on stock settings. about to rip some people apart tomorrow.

[@BDTube2006]

Awesome! Tear 'em up!!

I've refered to this video sooo many times. thanks man!

[@BDTube2006]

Awesome! Glad it works out for yea!

[@francomorales4973]

+BDTube2006 is there a way to adjust the trigger resistance?

[@BDTube2006]

+Franco Morales Are you referring to the travel? Actually adjusting the trigger?

[@wholesomestrangejourney]

[@FOSHIZZLCRAFT]

thank you this helped a lot

[@bdfresh973]

Awesome! You're welcome. Now get out there and dominate the field! :)

[@bladirosario]

Helpful Video! I just purchased the Axe 2.0 and I didn't get the programming manual. This video helped me a lot but I'm still confused; how many modes does the marker have in total? Also, which mode do you believe is the best mode to get the great accuracy?

[@BDTube2006]

Bladi Rosario congrats on the purchase, as far as firing modes, there are 4x. Semi-automatic, PSP burst, Mil. Ramp., and full auto. Check with your local field as to the allowed mode you can play in. In most cases, rec days, you don't want to be ramping against rental/new players, so I'd recommend staying in semi auto.

[@milomurphy9604]

I'm new to Paintball and I must say that even tho this was a very informative and explanatory video I am gonna have to watch it a few times before I get it down. It's so complicated without an LCD screen!! LOL

[@BDTube2006]

Milo, if you picked up an AXE, then you're on the right track! Ha! It's a beautiful marker that wont let yea down and very easy to maintain for the entry level user... Even if you don't change modes/settings, the marker is perfect right out of the box in semiautomatic. Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the paintball community!

[@milomurphy9604]

Thanks man, ya I already love it and I got the Axe, used, from a buddy of mine for a sweet price. Great gun!!

[@IcanSPELLmyNAMEOG]

Milo Murphy welcome to the paintball community man, hope u love it... I know u will ;)

[@colinhudson3838]

appreciate it! mine came with nothing at all. now i'm wise

BDTube2006 it's me who need to thank you :) i am just entering paintball and this is a great help for my new Empire axe marker even tho i'm Portuguese not english, so great video congrats

[@TheDrive261]

Thanks for the help

[@BDTube2006]

Thank you for the comment, hoped you found what you were looking for!

[@MrMinigunman]

thx so much!

[@WillC423]

Thank u so much!

[@BDTube2006]

You're absolutely welcome--hopefully you found everything you needed in this tutorial!

[@cristiancampo8133]

Wow man you have an Axe too?! Lol i just bought mine today!!! Lol thas wassup bro! Thanks again for the tutorial

[@BDTube2006]

Cristian Campo oh yea, the Axe is the best bang for buck, tournament ready right out of the box. It's my primary.

[@cristiancampo8133]

BDTube2006 hey man according to what you said about the tournament lock... my axe has both dip switches in the same position... so does that mean that is locked? Are they supposed to be in the same position for regular operation (to use it as it comes out of the box) or do they have to be one dip switch up and the other dip switch down? Or this is just for configuration mode... Sorry man im a lil bit lost here lol... im not trying to mess around with the configurations yet.... just want to have it factory settings for now :)

[@BDTube2006]

Cristian Campo yea, it's not like the reflex rail where you have to keep manipulating the dip switches to program (this is why I like the AXE over the Reflex Rail). You can program the AXE on the fly which is great. As long as tournament lock is off, you can program all you want with having to pull off the cover to change the dip switch.

[@cristiancampo8133]

BDTube2006 ohhhhh gotcha!!! Lol man i was checkin out some other videos of how to program the Axe and they were doing the tutorial of the older version where you have to take off the lid press two switches bla bla bla... and man i was like what the hec I dont see that shit it mine lmao... until ... shazam! Paintball sensei here ended up havin an Axe too and a nice tutorial! Thanks again man.

[@BDTube2006]

Cristian Campo Hahaha, no prob! Yea, I believe in 2012, the AXE changed to the Shockwave board, a great improvement. Youre going to love that AXE!

[@dilix3178]

thank you so much

[@BDTube2006]

Dilix Awesome! Glad I could help!

[@Mathrss]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS VID

[@bdfresh973]

Ahh yea! :D Thanks!

[@ar_x7]

Nxl 2016 firing mode: 10.5 bps(6 clicks for programming). Ramp start after 3 semi auto shots

[@benjaea1]

Thanks

[@calebbrown2983]

When you were "firing" the gun at the end of the video, that was demonstrating that you had to pull the trigger 5 times per second to sustain that ramp, yes? How would you adjust how many times you have to pull the trigger per second to START the ramp?

[@bdfresh973]

***** 2:35 RAMP START

[@randusp90]

I have a DYE rotor so should I put the bps up to 20 when I'm ramping?

[@BDTube2006]

The DYE Rotor can easily handle 20 bps without any issues! As far as BPS, I would suggest contacting the field that you are playing at to see what their limitations are. I'm currently playing in SEMI @ 12.5 bps. It's plenty fast- Enjoy!

[@nickv1559]

Do you have to disable the tournament lock to just shoot in semi

[@Rockroller1986]

Man you need to do the same for the redline! Get job!

[@bubba2523]

i set my axe exactly like u did n this vid.whn i turn it on and ready for action it dnt shoot right away.i will hve to turn it off acouple of times n then wait for almost 40 secs while just pullin the trigger then all of a sudden pow..its on and ready until i turn it off for awhile...whts goin on n how can i fix it?

[@VZQZ-137]

does those setting work perfectly with an empire halo too??

[@corbindelgado271]

when you take the axe straight out of the box say you throw a rotor and a ninja air tank on it could you go straight out and play speed ball? or do you have to adjust all the things you talked about in the video?

[@BDTube2006]

Absolutely, you'll be ready to play. However, many of the speedball players are ramping, so you may want to change firing modes to compensate.

[@abnertelebrico7563]

8

[@ccmusic2419]

I have an Empire Halo Too SE hopper, what do you recommend I put the settings on for this?

[@BDTube2006]

The stock settings will be fine on the AXE to handle the max speed of the Halo Too. The only issue you may have is with the Halo itself as you increase the feed rate, the pressure at which the Halo feed actually increases causing the paintballs to crack. Regardless, you shouldn't have any problems with the AXE keeping up. Hope this helps.

[@bryanhoyle5903]

Help! I just bought a used axe and I can get everything else in the video to work but I can't turn it off without just taking out the battery

[@IcanSPELLmyNAMEOG]

AWESOME!!!! I just got an axe and had some problems. other videos were telling me that I had to do other stuff but finally someone who I guess has the same type of board. The only problem is that I have is that my asa switch sometimes hangs and wobbles in the middle and if my eyes are on even when nothing is in the breach the gun still shoots... ANYONE help me. I am gunna try to clean the eyes but please help with both problems if you can! THANKS (I transitioned from woodsball to speedball and the axe is my first speedball marker aside from an nt11 that was broken)

[@TheNinjaBlades]

Just wanting to confirm, but an immediately flashing amber light when you turn on your Axe indicates a low battery correct?

[@BDTube2006]

That is correct.

[@stephenrhodes7413]

looking to upgrade from a g5 what should I get the 2013 reflex rail or empire axe

[@BDTube2006]

I own an AXE and a 2014 Proto Reflex Rail; I absolutely love the AXE. However, the Rail is a full spoolie which has an incredible, quiet shot (the Axe is quiet as well, but really doesn't matter once you start shooting anyway). In my opinion, the AXE fits perfectly in my hands. I'm 6'2" and with a 77/4500 tank, shouldering the marker feels great. The grip is comfortable and the extended fore-grip is nice... The Reflex Rail has a shorter fore-grip (Hyper3 Reg), but wasn't too bad comparing the grip from the AXE to the Reflex Rail--however, when I'm holding the Reflex Rail, it's quite lite when using my smaller tank (50/4500) to just run and gun with it. That's how easy it is to hold Reflex Rail (def. no where in size as a DM14 grip). As far as programming goes, hands-down the AXE takes it--you can program on the fly (even while in game--if needed). With the Reflex Rail, you have to pull off the grips, mess with the dip switches, program the marker, and piece everything back together. With the AXE, power it on while holding the trigger, set your modes and turn it off--DONE. On top of that you have a lot of programming options with the AXE. *Check my channel, I have programming guides for both. I used the stock AXE (12") barrel for a few months, but I prefer running with a 16" two piece instead--which makes the AXE that much more fun to play with. The UL barrel that's on the Reflex Rail is pretty nice--was getting spot on shot-on-shot which was nice; but still use the 16" on the Rail too--simply because it's easier for me to get on target with; but no issues with the barrels. Maintenance wise-- AXE again. Press of a button, remove entire bolt assembly, lube a few o-rings and pop it back in. The Reflex is easy too, but just takes a few extra steps to clean the entire assembly (removing the can, removing o-rings to completely dissemble, more o-rings, etc). They are both machine guns when it comes to shooting... With the low 3ms trigger sensitivity on the Reflex Rail, you'll have no problem shooting quickly (great trigger too) in semi-auto. Bump these guns in MILLENNIUM RAMPING, watch out! :D I mainly shoot semi, but when there are guys on the field ramping at you--it's nice with the AXE to quickly change modes on the field and rain hell... Again, that is a big plus with the AXE. Oh and far as ASAs go--the AXE flip ON/OFF is pretty nice. The airport on the Reflex Rail is small and you def. have to make sure you turn it all the way on so that it doesn't back out on yea (check out the tail end of the Reflex tutorial)--but with the AXE, the marker fully purges; not so on the Reflex, yes the gas will purge allowing you to easily remove your tank, but all the air behind the bolt is still there, meaning you will have to cycle the marker to completely degas). They are both amazing markers--but if I had a choice knowing what I know now and had to choose as a first time buyer, I'm purchasing an AXE. Good luck with your decision!

[@Ronin_PB]

Don’t know if you’re still responding but do you know the default setting for dwell? My trigger got stuck in the on position while going through programming mode and the setting was changed

[@BDTube2006]

The stock dwell is 8 ms.

[@Ronin_PB]

@@BDTube2006 thank you

[@dizzyike7986]

When you say put switch 1 in the up position you mean towards the on label correct ?

[@BDTube2006]

Make sure the marker is in the correct orientation that you can read 1 and 2 and move the switch up.

[@williamortiz5308]

Hi I accidentally adjusted the solid amber, I was wondering what the default setting were for solid amber. I have it at 15 blinks

[@BDTube2006]

William Ortiz 11 clicks is the stock 8ms setting.

[@cneedelman1]

My son has this gun, or a different version, and needs to get it out of tournament mode, the board in his gun is facing the other way so you can't see any dip switches if they are there. Any idea how to get it out of Tournament mode...there is 1 button on the edge of the board

[@BDTube2006]

Craig Needelman the board should be running along the backside of the front grip. Are you not seeing any dip switches? Also, do you know if his marker is an older Axe? I believe in 2012, the changed boards--this Axe has a shockwave board.

[@coopnhtown]

Friend of mine just bought an Axe. We followed your tutorial and the gun wont fire. we have the quick blinking green light showing that the eyes are working. (when removing paint, it blinks slow green). gun is pressured up as well. Nothing happening. Any idea what is going on?

[@dezell5258]

No idea happened to me aswell

[@BDTube2006]

Aaron Cooper did you get an answer to this problem?

[@jamessullivan6546]

I️ increased the rof to 20 bps and still nothing. It shoots 20 bps when the eyes are off but when i️ put them on it is defaulting to 8... could it be the fact that i’m using my finger and that there is no air tank on? Thanks for the quick reply btw!

[@BDTube2006]

James Sullivan If it's firing at 20bps now with the eyes off, then you're good to go. Having your finger in the breach to trick the eyes and trying to get the same rate of fire will be affected. There is another option called "ball in breach" that is preventing the marker to trigger the solenoid because your finger doesn't move out of the way for the marker to cycle :) Ball in breach is the amount of time the ball has to be in the breach before the next ball can be fired. If your finger is in the breach, the system never resets, therefore taking longer for the marker to cycle. So to properly test the rate of fire is to turn off the eyes (no need for your finger) :D

[@bigjaeroc8895]

It’s a ball in breach light. Green light blinking twice. Just curious to see if you have any recommendations

[@BDTube2006]

Seems youre not in programming mode, thats the standard marker on with the eyes on. Press the power button once, does the green lights change to a faster blinking green light?

[@theexclusive_8396]

Mine has a red flashing light when it's ready to shoot but everything else was fine but then when it's suppose to be in fire mode and I'll pull the trigger the light goes off and doesn't make any sounds??

[@josephmurphy8406]

Did you ever figure out out mine is doing that?

[@MrSwiftli]

So I just got an Empire axe used from a teammate, but he lives kinda far away. My marker isn't shooting at all and it's the first time I'm having issues with it. I replaced the battery yes, and I also had verified that all the body screws were in place, as I did have issues with a loose body screw. However, now it's having issues and I think it might be a solenoid issue. Any idea how to fix that or where I could go to get it looked at and get help for cheap?

[@BDTube2006]

Id suggest to reset the board first, that way you know the marker is sitting at its default setting.

[@BDTube2006]

Dow load the manual, reset the board.

[@donutfilms4124]

I have another question. What firing mode and bps does it come with stock?

[@donutfilms4124]

I mean just bps**

[@BDTube2006]

Donut BMX stock=semi @ 15bps

[@SuperLando007]

What position do the switches have to be in to have the tournament lock back on

[@BDTube2006]

Landon Nielsen you'll want both switches in the down position.

[@DD-nr2jt]

is there a reason why when i want to set my ROF to 20bps = 25flashes and then i check it it'll only flash back at me 15 flashes?

[@BDTube2006]

Which firing mode?

[@MrNchunter10]

mine doesn't have a dip switch all it has is a button inside that allow that you push to control the settings and such and the button on the outside is for going down on the settings and the button on the inside allows you to go up for each setting.

[@BDTube2006]

This tutorial refers to the AXE with the shockwave boards.

[@meekodash7185]

When I hold trigger and turn on marker it only goes red for a second altough I switched the tournament lock 1 to on position could this be ?? You said up position I assumed that was on any help lol 8 years later. Thanks it was the lock already switched lol 😂

[@BDTube2006]

8 yrs later, haha. No prob! :D. If dip switch 1 is ON only, tournament lock is ON. Turn both up (on) or both down. I believe tournament lock is ON when #1 is ON only.

[@wildwest4634]

my empire axe only went to 15 bps max in the programing how come?

[@j-hall7000]

So why do you turn the eyes off? If i wanted to just do semi, would I just change it to semi and I can shoot it then? Or do I have to turn eyes off

[@BDTube2006]

J-Hall I turn off the eye so that I could cycle the marker. The bolt won't cycle unless there is a ball in the breach, therefore, turning off the eyes allows the marker to bypass this hold and the marker will fire.

[@BDTube2006]

J-Hall ...if your marker is fully setup (hopper, paint and air), yes, you don't have to shut off the eyes; simply change your firing mode and get back to shooting faces. :D

[@jamessullivan6546]

my axe is shooting slow with eyes on. fully cleaned out and new battery’s.. how come? if i’m testing with just my finger in the breach and no air could it cause this?

[@BDTube2006]

James Sullivan you'll need to increase the rate of fire option.

[@SerratedPVP]

Hey I know that his is an old post and my knowledge may not be useful to you. But I had the same issue; the issue is it's not an issue. Just like you hypothesized there is a difference from not having air and having air. The Empire Axe's eyes are considered "dirty" when you stick your finger in the breach without air, and when the eyes are "dirty" they default to 8bps.

[@zachpep7456]

do u have to put the dip switch back down. when ur done

[@BDTube2006]

No, you can leave tournament lock off. This allows you to change modes.

[@deronsatchell1118]

What does switch #2 do?

[@fear_jay_pb___3454]

hey how do you reset the dwell mode back to factory setting?

[@BDTube2006]

zurn xxx The stock setting is 8ms (11 clicks)

[@DarthRane113]

What do you know about trouble shooting I have an axe I used it one weekend no problems at all. I went out today played a game a or two with no issues, then randomly it stopped. I ended up making an adjustment to the asa fixed the problem it seemed for about 2 games then it stopped again.

[@BDTube2006]

Sorry for the late response. What exactly has stopped working? Meaning, the marker doesn't fire?

[@DarthRane113]

BDTube2006 Oh no problem and yeah it stopped firing (sry I should no to be more descriptive being a maintainer haha) like I said made and adjustment to the ASA and that fixed it for about 2 games and then it stopped firing again. I checked to make sure eyes weren't covered, no issue there I made sure I could hear the clicking of the solenoid both on and off and I could hear it. Also it was registering me hitting the trigger on the light but there was no dry firing happening at all. After I got back(and after I posted my initial post here) I went online to look up some troubleshooting tips all of them mentioned pretty much what I did above. I went back out and took it apart and actually physically inspected my solenoid the wires looked good nothing pinched or loose, put it back together and still no dry firing at all. I went and tried changing firing modes I hit the on button once while it was on and it started firing again but from what I understand hitting the button shouldn't do anything. (My axe is used so I didn't have an instruction manual on firing mode adjustments so from what I have read if I am understanding correctly hitting that technically shouldn't have done anything so I have a feeling this is temporary and is very likely to happen again when I go back out and start playing.

[@BDTube2006]

John Dersion Sounds like you have all the signs of an operational marker; just no air supply... First thing that comes to mind is your DWELL. Go ahead and set the dwell to the factory settings (I think is 8ms)--you may want to reset everything to the factor defaults to trouble shoot; however, I would start with the dwell. I would also suggest making sure you set the marker to the factory input pressure (between 180-200 psi). I've had instances (after servicing the poppet), where I forgot I've tighten down the velocity screw all the way down (helps prevent blowing the solenoid). All lights were green, but no air supply! Then I forgot I did that; so turn off the eyes and start dry firing the system while increasing the velocity. Eventually, the system will have enough air behind the bolt to cycle it. Keep me posted...

[@DarthRane113]

Will do, I can't figure out if any of that will do anything until the next time I get to play unfortunately and it stops working again so I can be sure it's a setting issue.

[@DarthRane113]

BDTube2006 Figured out the problem finally ( was busy for a while) the board was going bad, replaced the board no issues :)

[@efrainsaavedra6510]

having the firing mode on 3 round burst can you increase to bps to 17

[@BDTube2006]

Absolutely.

[@RyanHicks]

You're wrong in the beginning of this video for tournament lock. Turning it up or on like your said to do in the video it actually locks the marker. Turning it down or off will UNLOCK the marker allowing you to use the settings. From the manual, "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. The battery door must be removed to access the switch. Flip dip switch #1 to the ON (UP when laying flat) position to activate the Tournament Lock. When tournament lock is ON, Settings Mode cannot be activated."

[@BDTube2006]

Ryan Hicks Ok... Thank you.

[@RyanHicks]

Great tutorial though. Best on the tubes.

[@ArtfulSauce898]

I use an empire z2, what bps should i use?

[@BDTube2006]

Light In The Dark you can set the bps to the max speed that your field allows.

[@paintballabcs4940]

I just bought myself an axe and it seems like it shoots like it did in the video right out of the box. Is this normal?

[@BDTube2006]

Absolutely. The Axe is very easy to shoot in semi-auto @ 12.5 bps. You will notice a significant increase in the rate-of-fire once you program the Axe in RAMPING MODE. Have fun--you're going to love this marker!

[@codyvelasquez6959]

I have a halo too so what speed should the hun be on?

[@BDTube2006]

CODY VELASQUEZ you can keep the stock board setting at 3ms. The loader you can set the max speed, just back it down if you notice paint breaking as its the paint actually breaking as it hits the breach vs. chopping a paintball.

[@codyvelasquez6959]

BDTube2006 okay thank you

[@bigjaeroc8895]

Just bought an axe. It has a continuous green light flashing at me. How do I program. Help asap

[@BDTube2006]

With the marker OFF, pull the trigger in and hold it in, then power on the axe. And release. You should now be in programming mode. If not, the tournament lock is on, youll need to turn that OFF first.

[@jonathanesteva4265]

What??? At 4:50 why is 8 bps 1 blink and 10 bps 5 blinks? I'm confused.

[@buckshot8906]

Do you need to put the switch back or no?

[@BDTube2006]

Negative. The tournament lock is only on so that you can't quickly change your settings on the field.

So psp is the second and ram is third right

[@cali_187_zags6]

how did you get those empire stickers

[@BDTube2006]

I can make them.

[@somurderous7626]

Whenever I turn on my axe it blinks amber and not green anymore.. Can you help!

[@BDTube2006]

Thank you for your inquiry. The change in color when you are turning on your Axe is your battery status indicator--you will want to change out your battery.

[@winstonmendoza5384]

My eye on my axe don't turn green when every thing is saved they stay red but every option that I saved work perfect

[@BDTube2006]

Winston Mendoza The eyes themselves shouldn't change color--only the LED indicator on the front grip should change. However, if it's red (which is also the battery indicator color), you should change to a new battery. Hope this helps! Enjoy!

[@jessepadilla3155]

Would this be similar do a 1.0

[@BDTube2006]

If you are referring to the first generation Axe, no, they were not equipped with the Shockwave board.

[@austinmikel9683]

my axe isnt very accurate how could i fix this and it does not shoot very far and how can i improve that

[@BDTube2006]

Austin Mikel I would suggest resetting the board to factory so you have a fresh start, making your operating pressure is between 180-200, then you can have a better idea on where to start trouble shooting its performance.

[@jokermx4207]

will this work on the invert mini gs ?

[@BDTube2006]

Yes, the Mini GS is equipped with the Shockwave Board.

[@jokermx4207]

ah yes awesome thank you you really help me

[@brayden5888]

Can I use a 3000psi tank?

[@BDTube2006]

Absolutely.

[@Joseph444_]

Hey bud I have switch one off then my marker doesn’t save the settings what am I doing wrong

[@BDTube2006]

Dip Switch 1 and 2 are in the down position? If you are in programming mode, once you make your selection, there will be a slight pause and the the LED indicator will flash quickly confirming your selection. What are you experiencing after you make your selection? Are you trying to verify your selection by going back into the programming feature again?

[@Joseph444_]

BDFresh so what I did was dp 2 is up and I down and I was finally able to change my gun from auto to semi

[@Joseph444_]

BDFresh but my thing is that why I had to do the opposite of what he did

[@dmoneyking3078]

Is 2 on or off? Please help

[@BDTube2006]

Dip switch 2 is OFF or down. I believe only Dip switch 1 needs to be moved up (ON).

[@CanHeGolf]

how do you set it back to semi

[@BDTube2006]

Goto Firing Mode, press and hold the trigger for one second; after the current mode indicator, pull the trigger once and you'll be in semi.

[@ricardosantos574]

On my Axe once i get the fast flashing green light i start firing but then the gun just turns off does anyone have an idea why?

[@BDTube2006]

Completely powers off? If the light is green, the batter is good. you may need to replace the board.

[@ricardosantos574]

+BDTube2006 yeah completely i just changed the battery so its not that. I wish i can send you a vid of what it does so you can see and tell me what might be wrong

[@ricardosantos574]

+BDTube2006 what board do you reccomend?

[@BDTube2006]

+Ricardo Santos Empire Axe/Mini Shockwave Marker Board (72410), you can pick them up for $27 USD.

[@ricardosantos574]

+BDTube2006 thank you!
