Low Pressure Operation for Smooth, Paint-Friendly Performance

Low Pressure Operation for Smooth, Paint-Friendly Performance

The Empire Axe 2.0 paintball marker runs a pressure-controlled poppet engine at approximately 175psi, making it one of the lowest operating pressure markers in its class. For competitive paintball players, that matters. Low pressure operation means the Axe 2.0 is exceptionally gentle on fragile tournament paint, reducing breaks in the breech and keeping your shots consistent from the first point to the last. The result is a smooth, quiet shot cycle that does not sacrifice efficiency or reliability under pressure.

The two-piece Driver XX barrel ships standard with the Empire Axe 2.0 paintball gun and is ported for improved accuracy and stability, giving advancing players a noticeable improvement in shot consistency right out of the box without any additional upgrades required.

  • Pressure-controlled poppet engine at approximately 175psi
  • Exceptionally gentle on fragile and thin-shell tournament paint
  • Smooth, quiet shot cycle for consistent performance
  • Two-piece Driver XX ported barrel included standard
  • Reduced recoil for improved accuracy during rapid fire

Tool-Less Maintenance Built for Fast Field Turnaround

Tool-Less Maintenance Built for Fast Field Turnaround

The Empire Axe 2.0 paintball gun is designed to be serviced quickly and without tools, which is exactly what competitive players need between points and games. The push-button bolt removal system allows fast access to the internals for cleaning, and the externally serviceable break-beam anti-chop eye system means players can pull the electronics and replace ball detents without disassembling the entire marker. Less time wrenching means more time focused on the next point.

The Relay venting ASA regulator with on/off lever makes air management straightforward, allowing players to shut off their air and remove their tank quickly without fumbling. The hidden air lever design also prevents accidental shutoff mid-game, a common frustration with older marker designs that the Axe 2.0 addresses cleanly.

  • Push-button bolt removal for fast tool-less maintenance
  • Externally serviceable break-beam anti-chop eye system
  • Ball detent replacement without full disassembly
  • Relay venting ASA with on/off lever for easy air management
  • Hidden air lever prevents accidental shutoff during play

For players who want to take the electronics further, the Axe 2.0 foregrip accepts the drop-in Redline OLED board upgrade, adding an advanced display, expanded programming options, and a significantly upgraded user interface without requiring any permanent modifications to the marker.

Empire Axe 2.0 Paintball Marker - Frequently Asked Questions

Empire Axe 2.0 Paintball Marker - Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Empire Axe 2.0 and the original Empire Axe?

The Empire Axe 2.0 paintball marker is a significant improvement over the original Axe in several key areas. The Axe 2.0 is approximately 10% lighter than the original, features a re-engineered foregrip with micro-texture non-slip material and a more secure connection to the body, and includes a streamlined low-profile air system with a hidden on/off lever that eliminates accidental shutoff during play. The electronics are also improved, with the Shockwave board delivering a smoother, more consistent shot cycle compared to the original. For players who loved the original Axe, the 2.0 addresses its biggest weaknesses while keeping everything that made it a popular choice in the first place.

Is the Empire Axe 2.0 tournament legal?

Yes. The Empire Axe 2.0 paintball gun is tournament legal and can be configured to meet the requirements of NXL, PSP, and most regional tournament formats. The Shockwave board includes compliant firing mode options, and the marker's velocity is fully adjustable to meet field and event requirements. As with any electronic paintball marker, players should verify the specific firing mode rules for their event before competing, but the Axe 2.0 is a widely accepted and trusted choice at the competitive level.

What loader should I use with the Empire Axe 2.0 paintball marker?

The Empire Axe 2.0 pairs well with high-speed electronic loaders designed for tournament paintball. Two of our top recommendations at BFPGear are the Virtue Spire and the CRBN DRV loader. The Virtue Spire is a field-proven option with fast feed rates, tool-less maintenance, and reliable performance in all conditions. The CRBN DRV has quickly built a strong reputation among competitive players for its lightweight build and consistent feeding. Either loader will keep pace with the Axe 2.0 at full speed and hold up through a full day of tournament play.

Can I upgrade the Empire Axe 2.0 electronics?

Yes. The Empire Axe 2.0 paintball gun is compatible with the drop-in Redline OLED board upgrade, which replaces the stock Shockwave board and adds a full OLED display, expanded programming options, and a more refined user interface. The upgrade requires no permanent modifications to the marker and is one of the most popular aftermarket additions for Axe 2.0 owners who want more control over their firing modes and settings. BFPGear carries the Redline OLED board and our team is happy to help if you have questions about compatibility or installation.
