Built
on
the
solid
foundation
of
Smart
Parts
Ion
technology,
the
Epiphany
brings
new
features
to
the
player
–
features
not
found
in
many
“high
end”
markers,
let
alone
those
that
can
come
anywhere
close
to
the
Epiphany's
price
tag.
The
new
features
include:
- Seal Forward Technology - This Smart Parts innovation places the breech seal o-ring in the breech instead of on the bolt, providing a perfect seal against blowback without producing rate of fire limiting bolt-drag.
- True Electropneumatic Design - Just like the original Ion, and all of the Smart Parts lineup, the Epiphany is built on a true electro pneumatic design. A precision, fast acting solenoid valve drives the bolt and valve system for unbeatably quick operation with minimal vibration.
- Simple 9-volt Powered Operation - Because of the very low power consumption that true electropneumatic operation provides, the Epiphany's electronics are able to achieve a long operating life from a standard 9-volt alkaline battery.
- 17+ BPS Performance - The standard Epiphany circuit board will deliver rates up to 17 balls per second, while the Blackheart and aftermarket boards can take it to 20 and beyond.
- Most Ion and Epiphany assemblies are interchangeable. Ion owners can upgrade to Epiphany performance by replacing their circuit board, hoses, regulator spring and fire chamber.
All
Metal
Structure
As
has
become
standard
for
high-end
markers,
the
Epiphany's
grip
frame,
receiver,
body,
feedneck
and
all
major
components
are
of
all-metal
construction.
Adjustable
Volume
Fire
Chamber
The
heart
of
the
Epiphany
is
the
all-new
adjustable
volume
fire
chamber
- a
technology
first.
Utilizing
sized
inserts
much
like
The
Freak
barrel
system,
a
player
can
tune
the
volume
of
air
staged
behind
the
Epiphany's
bolt.
Higher
regulator
settings
and
faster
valve
recharge
rates
virtually
eliminate
rapid
fire
velocity
drop
off.
The
result
is
rock-steady
velocity
consistency
whether
the
Epiphany
Ion
is
taking
a
snap-shot
or
laying
out
a
rope
of
paint
at
15
bps
or
more.
Super-Light,
Fast-Acting
Bolt
The
Smart
Parts
Firebolt
is a
standard
feature
of
the
Epiphany.
Its
light
weight
allows
for
super-fast
reciprocal
operation,
increasing
potential
rate
of
fire
while
decreasing
vibration.
Its
efficient
design
baffles
the
gas
flow
delivered
to
the
ball
for
a
gentle
push
against
even
the
most
fragile
shells,
while
allowing
a
high
flow
volume
for
maximum
efficiency.
Improved
Solenoid
Valve
and
Hosing
An
improved
solenoid
valve
keeps
the
Epiphany
Ion
consistently
responsive
over
a
wider
pressure
range
at
both
low
and
high
rates
of
fire.
Magnesium
Alloy
Body,
Grip
Frame
and
Trigger
Olympic
class
racing
bicycle
designers
utilize
magnesium
alloys
to
deliver
fantastic
strength
with
minimal
weight,
and
that
is
what
our
engineers
have
done
with
the
Epiphany.
The
Epiphany
grip
frame,
trigger
and
body
are
all
manufactured
from
a
state
of
the
art
magnesium
alloy,
making
the
Epiphany
incredibly
light
with
a
super-hard
chrome
based
finish.
Rubber
accent
overlays
enhance
the
Epiphany's
finished
look
while
providing
better
grip
friction
at
key
points.
Conical
Trigger
Bearing
The
Epiphany
Ion's
conical
trigger
bearing
is
suspended
between
a
pair
of
adjustable
lock
screws.
This
configuration
provides
a
silky
smooth
trigger
pull
that
is
virtually
free
of
side
to
side
movement
from
start
to
finish.
Rigid
Power
Button
A
rigid
power
button
in
the
Epiphany
grip
frame
makes
power
and
Vision
mode
selection
easy,
even
with
gloves
on.
Break-Beam

Epiphany
Freak
Barrel
The
Epiphany
version
of
The
Freak
barrel
is
included
with
its
own
sculpted
back
section
matching
the
smooth
lines
of
the
Epiphany
body.
Optional
inserts
and
fronts
allow
this
factory
included
barrel
to
adapt
to
changing
paint
and
game
conditions.
Advanced
Ergonomic
Trigger
Position
Extensive
research
and
field
testing
led
to
the
final
shape
of
the
Epiphany
grip
frame.
With
its
slender
profile
and
thin-wall
wraparound
grips,
this
frame
places
both
trigger
fingers
at a
90
degree
angle
from
the
firing
plane,
within
the
bounds
of
an
expanded
trigger
guard
for
optimal
walking.
Three
Point
Adjustable
Trigger
The
adjustable
Epiphany
trigger
can
be
dialed-in
to
suit
any
taste.
Settings
for
trigger
pre-travel,
activation
point,
and
post-travel,
may
all
be
fine
tuned.
Low
Profile
Positive-Grip
Friction
Feedneck
The
Epiphany
Feedneck
is
equipped
with
internal
o-rings
that
give
it a
positive
grip
on a
wide
variety
of
loader
neck
sizes.
Its
solid
aluminum
construction
gives
it
the
durability
needed
for
serious
paintball
competitors.
Integrated
Air
Rail
The
Epiphany
grip's
integrated
rail
system
allows
standard
dovetail
air
system
accessories
to
mount
directly
to
the
grip
frame
or
use
traditional
inline
mounting
screws.
Rail

Positive

The

The
Epiphany
uses
the

standard
barrel

found
on
the
Shocker
NXT,
Impulse,
Nerve,
