Level 10 chopping question

[AcemanPB]

Well most of us on AO has had LX for some time now, and I was just wondering how many balls you have chopped since level 10 and about how much paint you've put through your marker since LX.

For me I still have yet to chop a ball while playing, and this is with probably 25,000+++ shots through my mini. Also I haven't encountered any problems at all once I set my level 10 up either.

I was just wondering if everyone else has been continuing to get the same results I've been getting.

1 chop...1 hopper... not doin to good so far.

im happy to report i have had no chops for 2000 balls (as you can see ive only played a little since i installed it). but ive had about 30 ball breaks in the barrel :( so the level 10 is practically useless to me now

Woah your doing something wronge buddy to have 30 ball breaks. Even shooting the crappiest paint 6 month old hellfire i had laying around i didnt break or chop with my emag. I have shot around 10/15 cases with my level 10 and i have 1 break "not during play either" and 1 chop but that was 100% my fault so level 10 to me is awsome as to most.

i put 15,000 rounds through my PTP Emag LX before i sold it with one chop...only because my "friend" cut a paintball in half and then put it in the breech and fired it and called it a chop...other than that...ive been chop free

Cant wait for my XMag to come

Try matching your paint to your barrel or getting another barrel or better paint. I usually try to match my paint to my barrel the best I can and I probably have a ball bust in the barrel about 1/2000 rounds.

im using the stock barrel for the e-mag and shot fresh diablo blaze. sometimes it would shoot perfectly but whenever i started playing and went crazy on the trigger they broke like no tomorrow (i posted earlier about my other problems). im pretty sure none of the breaks were chops because everytime there was a break the splatter was either near the muzzle break or in the middle of the barrel.

Ahahahaha, I chop more now than ever before... GG level 10. I really can't figure out why either. It's SO gentle... gentle enough for me tongue in that breech. I really think it's my Warp's fault... but if you want a number, like 3-4 balls a game... yeah, a game... this sucks... before the level 10/warp I broke once in a blue moon.

1 chop using JEDI's stupid Freak system!:D

Thats 1 chop out of 11 cases, how much is 11 cases?

I think thats pretty good, I love my Retromag SOOO much now hehe.

10,000 rounds. 0 chops, 2 barrel breaks. And that's with a low rise micro vert feed. All good quality paint.

I don't keep count, but I would say no more than 10 out of 30 cases or so.

I was getting some barrel breaks yesterday, but I went up an insert, and that stopped.

[FalconGuy016]

I hate breaking balls, makes such a mess

[TAG]

I could not even imagine how much paint I have shot through my RTpro without a single break or chop.

[shadow462]

0 chops, about 6 cases. a few barrel breaks (cost of playing in subzero temperatures.)

[Evil Bob]

I've shot easily 30 cases since installing LVL 10 through my emag, my shot counter was around 20k when I put LX in, it's at 84k now.

Breaks at the bolt: 0
Barrel breaks: Guessing a dozen, mostly with HellFire, only one I can recall with RPS Marbs.

I am putting my RT valve and Level 10 on this week .... I'm excited!

I dont break balls right handed w/ my classic mag (pl) ... but when I have to go left handed to get around the bunker I break balls cause I'm extremely right hand dominant ... so being able to increase my ROF w/ my left is a good thing.

Sincerely,
Dave K

I've gotten maybe 3-5 chops and the same number of barrel breaks out of 4-5 cases. But most of those happened one day I used some really bad (flat on one side) field paint (RecSport). So what I really mean is, with good paint, 1-2 breaks and 0 chops.

You are probably pushing balls past the nubbin and double feeding. Either fix the nubbins (are you using the plastic ones?), oil the warp disks or make sure they are spaced correctly.

Almost 20000 rounds and no chops. I have had a few barrel breaks using ZAP white box paint but no chops. I'm still amazed after almost a year of using the level 10.
