Power Tube Question

[cockerpunk]

turn your loader down.

barrel breaks are typically a paint handling problem, not a power pulse problem. your barrel isn't breaking them unless its significantly smaller (like .005 or greater).

Man that's some big paint. I'll test again when I get home, but I'm pretty sure the paint shell is med-tough. I bounced quite a few that day. I really think the lvl 10 might be the problem.

The paint size was a typo. I corrected it.

As mentioned by others, barrel breaks are usually a ball handling issue and not a bolt issue. The level 10 bolt is rarely the cause of breaking paint. The level 7 bolt typically won't break balls either. Most bolt related breaks are due to chops and are immediately identifiable by paint goo up the feed stack. If the balls are really small small, then the next one in the stack can get clipped with a fast moving bolt, but the level 10 prevents that too, even with the gold spring. A broken detent can cause issues. So can a hopper that is pushing too hard.
