 Introduction:
Congratulations on purchasing an EXCALIBUR® or VIKING™ paintball marker. We hope you
enjoy using this marker. Please read the information in the manual and get familiar with you
marker before use.

This manual covers both the EXCALIBUR® and VIKING™ series of paintball markers as well as
covering the SIDEWINDER® regulator and the SCM™ low pressure pneumatics regulator. This
manual includes information for both the 2000-2003 and the 2004 models of EXCALIBUR® and
VIKING™. This manual is a work in progress and will be continuously updated as needed. If you
have suggestions to help improve this manual contact us through e-mail and let us know. We
