The Viking is an open bolt electro-pneumatic marker produced by AKA.

Viking History:

Direct from Aaron Alexander:

The Viking was designed during the final stages of the Excalibur project to allow us to make a mid range paintball marker that shared many of the same components between the Excalibur and the Viking. Helping to give the Viking the durablity that was designed into the Excalibur. The performance of the Viking is different because it is a different operating system then the Excalibur but its performance curve is higher them most mid range paintball markers.

With many years of design and manufacturing knowledge outside of paintball to draw from, AKALMP, Inc. and LEADS METAL PRODUCTS, Inc. bring the paintball community the finest paintball products available. AKALMP has the finest products with the highest performance ratings which will not be compromised. Proudly manufactured in the USA.

Viking Version Changes and Notes:

AKALMP is continuosly refining the Viking to push its performance to the extreme. Here is a list of things that have changed between the different production batchs of markers. This manual covers most things on the Viking but be careful becuase there may be a changes that are not in this version of the manual yet. AKALMP reserves the right to revise and improve its products as it sees fit.

When the Viking is new the pneumatics reg needs to be set at 80 to 90 psi. Once the Viking has had a few cases of paint through it you can adjust the pneumatics reg down around 60 to 70 psi.

Cleaning and Maintenance:

The barrel on the Viking(tm)(pat pend) can be cleaned during a game by either unscrewing the barrel from the marker or by removing the bolt and swabbing through the marker and the barrel.

The bolt can be field-stripped from the Viking(tm)(pat pend) while the marker is pressurized with gas. This allows you to clean the marker and oil the bolt when needed.

The Viking(tm)(pat pend) should be cleaned externally using a cotton cloth and window cleaner.

All external and internal moving parts should be lubricated using a light synthetic oil only. Oil can be added by placing a few drops in the input quick disconnect on the Sidewinder(R)(pat pend) regulator and then dry firing the gun. A few drops should also be placed on the Lightning bolt. This should be done every time you play, and the bolt should be oiled throughout the day of play.

Recommended lubricants: Extreme-lube from AKALMP or Palmer Pursuits paintball gun oil.

**Under no circumstances should you use Vaseline, WD-40, Grease of any kind (ie. NO DOW 33), Engine Oil, 3-in-1, gun oils, and any similar oils. If you have a question about the type of paintball gun oil you are using e-mail AKA.**

The electronics are protected against moisture, but the Viking's(tm)(pat pend) electronic compontents should never be immersed in water or damage may occur.

All the threads on the Viking(tm)(pat pend) are American threads. All set screws are American sizes.

If the Viking(tm)(pat pend) is to be stored for more then two months, remove the valve spring. This will increase the spring's lifespan. It is a good idea to do this with both hammer and valve springs on any paintball gun that is to be stored for a long time.

Here are some pics of the Viking:
