You can stop bragging now... :)

MHm.. I am getting a new gun soon, and won't go to anythin without some form of anti chop.. just not cool choping after level 10.

What spring are you using? If you're going to be playing in that kind of weather and not terribly worried about efficiency, use the long gray spring.

Did you do a bounce test on the paint before you shot it? I'll bet with the weather it was about 0-1 bounce paint.

I know you're happy with the results, but 3 breaks out of 200 is still pretty high.

Yea but they were breaks, not chops. And those were probably due to the lack of detent.

Breaks still shouldn't happen if the bolt speed is right for the paint. I really don't see how the lack of a ball detent can cause breaks. Chops, yes, but not breaks. Then again, I've seen stranger things...

2 balls feeding and then the first ball smacking the next somewhere down the barrel. I've heard people say this happens, but never seen it.

If he didn't check the insert against the paint, the barrel could have been too small...

I know thats the only time I see broken balls anymore with LX. :D

First of all, any knee-capping that is to be done will be done by LoadSM5. :D (He knows why.)
Second- you can come break mine in a few months. BRING IT. :)

Happens to me occassionally on the SFL because I only have a single detent... Sometimes happens because I have the marker pointed down for a period of time and then raise it; I guess the ball slips past the detent.

So when I shoot it, two balls come out and travel about 100 feet amazingly.
