Ball Break Problems...

[EnW]

The trouble with the RPS balls is that they are trying a different manufacturing process that allows them to produce more paintballs than in the past. The balls do not have the "oil" or whatever it is on them. Check them out...they look different than the balls in the past. I think(hope) that they are still working on their problems.

EnW, I also noticed that. They aren't "glossy" anymore, but more of a "matte".

'Thing is, I used a case of hot-pink (also from pbgear.com) around august, and it was just fine. I might have broken one or two here and there, but that was only under high rates of fire, and It was my first day with my 'mag .

Had some short-stroking going on there.

Premiums

I bought a case of hot pink premiums a few months ago and just finished it off two weeks ago, because I wasn't able to play for some time. It worked great in my mag...tight groupings and only 1 break all day. The break was in a fast string of shots and it was the first time I ever shot my mag, so I probably short stroked it.

Anyway, I bought another case of the same stuff and it was horrible. I broke paint all day. I'm glad to hear others are having trouble with it. I thought it was my new investment which was really frustrating. I ordered Big Ball this time, so I'll see if that works any better.

I also called Action Village to see why the price of PMI suddenly dropped about 4 or 5 dollars. I was wondering if they had some stale stuff they wanted to get rid of. They said no, they wouldn't sell bad paint at a lower price without first telling the customer it was seconds. They said RPS is like 15 minutes away and they get fresh stuff almost everyday. Maybe it's that new process you guys were talking about above. After this case of Big Ball, I might try a different color of PMI since everyone is having trouble with hot pink. I like Big Ball too, but the colors are kinda dull and boring, that's why I switched to PMI in the first place.

Shot a whole 2 cases of 32* Competition (field paint, owner is religious = no diablo) and didn't have a ball break all day.

If anybody can help me out then please do. Also let me know if any of you guys get the same problem. Bye.

I know exactly what you are talking about. Team Colors and PMI Premium are two paints that my mag doesn't like. I'll tell you what my mag does like: Big Ball! Mmmm, my mag luvvvvs Big Ball paint, never had a break with it ever(that I can remember) In any case, it is probably the actual paint. It was probably a bad batch...so from now on, try getting a whole bunch of different paint, and get your favorite barrel and see what you and your mag like to shoot!

Hey Dave the reason you have never gotten a ball break with Big Ball is because big ball don't break

No but really I have been getting problems breaking RPS paint in my auto mag too. It has never acted like this with any other paint before.

I think the problem with RPS is that they break too easy. If you hold it like 4-5 feet above ground(hard-surface) and drop they break. That is crazy! Another weird thing about it is it shell. It uses some type of wierd material, you drop it in water and it starts expanding in minutes compared to other types taking days.

And Dave, Big Ball is to hard to break (my opinion) and RPS is to easy go with somthing in between like Diablo.

Hmmmm

Seems wierd everyone has had this problem, personally i never shot marbalizer... sounds like it could be the bore. I always try to look for nel splat paint because I had a case and didnt break one ball... the diablo blaze is also a good paint, love it and never broke any. Right now I have a case of PMI premium and I do get at least one break a game, but thats because Im shootin like really fast and my revy and standard feed cant keep up.
