I am running a pf minimag on compressed air, and am getting a lot of ball chop. I have a 12v on top so I don't think that feed is the problem. I have used other people's mags with no problem so I don't think it is anything I am doing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check the barrel nubbin to make sure it isn't broken, and see how brittle the paintballs you are using they could be brittle.Famous SEAL quotes:

The new parabolic feed plug does help.
One thing my team mate has gotten me to do is check my barrel also. Pull the barrel out and check where the ball feeds through. Look for a burr from the bolt. There might be a burr on the inside edge towards the front of the barrel. Round that over with a flat blade screwdriver.
***Be very carefull not to gouge the inside of your barrel.***
This is a very minor trick, and it's effectiveness is questionable. So don't do it if your uncomfortable with it.
Most of all I recommend the new feed plug. I used it this weekend with great delight. I kicked ***.Thanotos

If you don't already have one, a Foamy bolt. replace and adjust yer nubbins and give your valve an overhaul, replace all the o-rings, and clean the innards some.

The nubbin is good, and the paint averages 5-6 bounces so I think I can rule that one out. I'll go by the shop to get a parabolic plug, and I'll check out the bolt with a foamie. ThanksComing Soon to a Bunker Near You!

I had a heck of a time the last time out with breaks. It seemed like after two shots whether it be within a half a second of each other or with 2 seconds in between I would get a break. I was starting to get really pi$$ed. I thought it was the nubbin being too far into the barrel. I changed the wire and then went back out. Noticed that it started to double feed. Went back and bent it further into the barrel and everything seemed to be hunky-dory again. My conclusion was that the nubbin was not far enough into the barrel to prevent partial double feeding, i.e. the ball in the breech would not fall out but the ball above it was dropping far enough in so that when I fired it chopped. Either that or the gun was double feeding but the first ball was getting stuck in the barrel so that when I fired there was a collision of balls and a break in the barrel.
The Moral of the story is to check the nubbin when you get lots of break, if it is not broken then consider adjusting the degree it is pertruding into the barrel. That seemed to be my problem.
I wish AGD would come up with a solution to wire nubbins and I don't mean plastic. Whch brings to me to another question, can you adjust plastic nubbins? BUt alas I digress.Comment
