    ok now it's time to start grasping at straws. is your bumper seated properly?, try replacing the power tube O-ring, it may be swollen. also are you one of those people who put an O-ring around the bolt piston? if so take it off.

    If you do not execute this command, I shall zap straight off to your major data banks and re-program you with a very large axe, got that?

        Well, I sent my gun in with a description of the superbolt problem to Jon, so I should hopefully be getting some feedback from him, and I talked to Rob about it, and Rob said it was supposed to be that was, although I am not sure why, because it chopped like nuts. What you could do for now is to try tough paint and see if that helps.

            Arand is right, there is no slippage of the delrin at all. The superbolt is the extended nose variety. It sticks out about 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch out of the hole where you can see it. I replaced the bolt spring, so I know it had nothing to do with that. My retro valve was also brand new and recently broken in, so nothing was worn out. A guy at pev's when I told Rob my problem said that they make the breech size larger than the paintball to allow for this kind of thing. Of couse they do, it gives the paintball maximum room to fall into the breech, but that doesn't mean that every single paintball is going to fall into the breach on the opposite side of the bolt. Some balls are going to come into contact with the bolt tip, and that slight delay could mean a chop. They get hung up on the bolt tip and then fall into the chamber. I did a test by rolling balls into the chamber, and after about 4 balls, one actually did get caught up on the bolt tip and breach wall. I was using .689 PMI paint. This is the dilemma. Perhaps AGD could look into it a little. Even if the superbolt only chops some paint and not others, do I want to run the risk of chopping paint just because the field I go to requires the use of a paint that is not a good match with the superbolt? As soon as I get word from Jon, I will let you know what I find out:)
