    chopping too much!!!!

    Alright I've been working on my project marker for about 4 months now, collecting different parts from ebay and AO.I will say I really love how well my mag shoots. Its crazy my first woodsball game with it this weekend I got 8 kills and I was amazed. Never had I shot a marker that was so consistent.

    After the first game thi is when th problems started. I cracked a ball in my power feed and field stripped it then kept on playing. When I got back to the car I cleaned out the barrel and mainbody. The marker shot like butter the first round and then the same problem happened again.Obviously I don't have a lvl X, I'm saving this for my Christmas gift to myself lol. But is this normal????

    My marker setup is a Minimag valve,power feed body,bench mark 45, taso twistlock, and a warp feed.

    I'm not ready for the lvl X like I said but what is the problem??? I'm going to a big game in 3 weeks ad I want to use the mag as my main marker.

    I'm thinking either the warpfeed is putting too much pressure on the ball stack in the power feed or that the wire nubin needs some adjustment.I was also thinking that I just got some dirt into the marker since I like to play in the dirt.

    I know theres more reasons breaking paint but I can't figure out why it happens after the first game I play?And why I average a hopper and maybe two pods before it happens????

    I'd start by increasing the dwell on the warp. You might only have a ball half-loaded when firing.

          I could never shoot a benchmark frame I always chopped with them, when I went to a hyperframe all my chopping issues ceased. So I guess what I'm saying is work on your trigger pull technique or try another frame.

            I already have all the jumpers installed into my I also noticed somethimes a ball will get stuck in my 90 degree elbow. hopefully my problem is just getting dirt into my power feed or just having bad paint.

            thanx for the warpfeed info

                Idk anything about the warp, but that can't be right (not normal operation).

                Do you have the newer 'parabolic' power feed plug on your mag?

                  Some of the powerfeed plugs had a flat spot on them. You need to use the parabolic (newer) ones. This might be the cause of your problems.

                      Poke around in the BSTs parts forum. They usually sell with a body, but you never know.

                      Here's the AGD store listing.
