1. How do I charge my impulse Rat Jr.?

2. How do i change the velocity?

3. How do i cock the bolt. It feels really loose kinda.

1. You don't charge it. Take the grips off and put a battery on the wiring harness.

2. You adjust your regulator. Just keep turning it up until you get the fps you want, but don't go too high. Usually in the 150-175 range is good.

3. What do you mean cock the bolt? Just make sure the bolt pin is connected and on the hammer. Once you air up your marker you just fire. It is electropnuematic operated no need to cock it.

velocity is a combination of the dwell and operating pressure. and it sounds like you missed the hammer when installing the bolt pin. take a look at the sticky, it has alot of great info that you will want to know.

***Barber*** · March 5th, 08:11 PM

Put the reg at 175 and mess with the dwell until you are at 280.

**spydershutter68** · March 5th, 10:17 PM

i thought 2 cock the bolt you had 2 pull back the pull pin air it up and rip.

***onesikpup*** · March 5th, 10:20 PM

there's a pull pin?

***xPiZZeRx*** · March 5th, 10:33 PM

Just make sure that when you put the bolt pin in that it is also connected to the hammer, it NEEDS to be inside the hammer slot or you could seriously do some damage if you fired.

The bolt doesn't cock back and stay cocked like blowbacks. When you gas it up, the bolt will stay back because of the air coming from the solenoid.

Ya, there is a 9v. battery inside you grip frame.

Also, to correctly setup your Impulse...

Impulses without LPR:

Set your Max-Flo output pressure between 180 and 200-psi (my recomendation). Set your dwell to 15 chirps and fire one shot over the chronograph. Now increase the dwell (one chirp with Cricket) and fire a second shot. If the velocity increased, increase the dwell again and fire another shot. Keep doing this until the velocity levels off. Then, if using a Cricket board, drop the dwell setting down two to four chirps. This will be your dwell setting at whatever operating pressure you had the marker set to. Now decrease your operating pressure and use it to control your velocity.

Impulses with LPR:

Set your Max-Flo output pressure between 140 and 180-psi (again, this is my recomendation), and also turn your LPR all the way up, as far as it'll go. Set your dwell to 15 chirps and fire one shot over the chronograph. Now increase the dwell (one chirp with Cricket) and fire a second shot. If the velocity increased, increase the dwell again and fire another shot. Keep doing this until the velocity levels off. This will be your dwell setting at whatever operating pressure you had the marker set to. Now decrease LPR output pressure to find whatever velocity you desire. In the future, also use your LPR to control velocity.

how do u turn the lpr kit all the way up. Also i am confused u said ^^ that you should connect the bolt pin 2 something when u order it isn't it all ready installed. Also confused about what u said about cocking it. U don't have 2 do anything is what your saying just gas it up and fire.

The LPR will have a knob on the end that you adjust the pressure with. Screw it in or out. If you buy a impulse it will come with the bolt and pin already together. Just make sure it is seated in the hammer right or when u fire the marker it will mess up the internals. When u gas it up if the bolt is forward(not cocked) you will hear it start to leak air out the barrel. Make sure the bolt is back(cocked)and it will air up with no air escaping out of the front and you then turn your board on and start ripping

***xPiZZeRx*** · March 5th, 11:36 PM

There is a knob on the LPR that when you turn it clockwise it increases pressure/velocity, and counter-clockwise it decreases pressure/velocity.

Ok, when you put the bolt pin in the Imp after you have already taken it out, you need to slide the bolt in the back first, then you need to put ther bolt pin into the hole on the bolt, but the end of the bolt pin needs to go in the slot that is on the hammer inside the gun. When you look down from the huge slot on the top of the boddy, u can see past the top tube of the Impulse body, and you can even see inside the second tube of the Impulse body which is where the hammer/ram/ram housing are all located. The hammer has a slot/space in it where the bolt pin is supposed to slide into to lock it together with the hammer. Pretty simple.

When all the internals are in correctly, you can still move the bolt/hammer forward and backward, however, since the marker is electro-pneumatic, when it is gassed up, the air that is going into the ram housing from the solenoid which is located on the bottom side of the Impulse body will be holding the hammer/bolt back in cocked position. Just gas it up and see for yourself, you won't be able to move the hammer/bolt anymore because of the air pressure holding it in place from the solenoid.

You can see the bolt pin inside the hammer slot, and the air from the solenoid that goes into the ram housing.

I can vouch for this, although I didnt mess anything up and their some minor scratches

***xPiZZeRx*** · March 6th, 12:40 AM

Lol, well, I've never done it, never seen any Imp that has.

But it would still really suck. The hammer would launch forward and catch the pin which is connected to the bolt which will fly forward with the hammer then slam into the front of the slot and there would probably make scratches, or do some damage to the pin, Imp body, and hammer.

**spydershutter68** · March 6th, 09:31 AM

so u have 2 pull the pull pin back then gas it up. Cause u said that make sure it is cocked so that air dosent leak out the barrel. And i am still confused about the pull pin. You said slid it back when putting it in. Do u mean like put it in the slot bring it 2 the back and look inside from the top and make sure it is lined up with the hole form the bolt then put it down and u are ready 2 go.

***onesikpup*** · March 6th, 09:57 AM

you are the only one talking about a pull pin. there isnt one. there is a bolt pin. all these guys have been telling you, is to make sure your marker is properly assembled. once that is done, there is no need to cock it. it is not like a spyder/clone. you dont need to cock it. there is no "pull pin".

assemble the marker correctly...put your tank on (gas it up), turn your power on...bam! your ready to go.

**spydershutter68** · March 6th, 10:01 AM

The bolt pin is the same thing it is just a different name for it. So all i do is when i get it. I put gas on it adjust it 2 the proper settings then i rip.

***xPiZZeRx*** · March 6th, 12:39 PM

When you get the Impulse, it will be properly assembled. I'm just saying if you ever take the bolt pin/bolt out, then you will need to make sure the bolt pin is in the hammer slot or you could do some damage to your internals. Look at the diagram I showed you, it shows perfectly how it should go. And what we mean by the air will leak out of the barrel is that if the bolt is forward when you gas it up, then the hammer will be pressing open the valve inside the gun which allows the air to pass through it, so it will leak down the barrel.

Goto this link, and scroll down a bit to see the moving diagram.

**spydershutter68** · March 6th, 05:09 PM

So when i get it if i don't do anything 2 it then i don't have 2 worry about anything. And if i change it i won't do i anyway. So about the bolt i see that if it is forword that it will leak up and out the barrel. But how would the bolt get forword in the first place.

***xPiZZeRx*** · March 6th, 05:39 PM

When it's not gassed up, you can slide the bolt forward easily because there is no air pressure fron the solenoid holding it back like when it is gassed up.

Actually, I've never left the bolt forward before I gassed it up, but it would either leak like we've been saying, or just snap back into place right when you gas it up.

**spydershutter68** · March 6th, 08:17 PM

so i can move it back and forth when there is no air on it but before i put air on it i have 2 make sure that it is back.
