    barrel breaks? chopped balls?

    can anyone explain to me why i'm breaking so much paint. i never had this problem before. i'm using blaze paint and about 1 in 100 breaks. usually in my barrel(j&j cer. and stock rt pro barrel), and sometimes i chop and paint flys up in my hopper. any info on what to do would REALLY be appreciated. and any easy way to clean the barrel besides taking it off.

    if you dont have level 10, then you're asking for more breaks from bolt chop.... some other factors..

    velocity too high---self explanitory, yet causes many barrel breaks in large paint

    its changing season in north america-- those balls that you were using a month ago may now be a little too big in the warmer weather, that causes barrel breaks, feed problems, on and on...

    your loader/ warp batteries might need replacing-- sometimes i cant tell if my batteries are fresh, so i have one that is always a fresh one.... put it in hopper and turn it on... listen to the sound of the hopper, how "strong" does it run?... now put in your current battery, is it as strong?.. is it enought?... i use that comparative method, cause your batteries slowly drain, so lack of power is not always apparent.

    trigger rod length- have you messed with it?... cause dont... once i changed the position cause i wanted the marker to fire just a little sooner in the pull... so i took out the pin 1 or 2mm to get rid of some slack... that 2mm took me about 2 weeks to get used to.... your body is a fine tuned machine, muscle memory is hard to change.

    check that, get lvl 10... you'll stop chopping..

      You know another small factor you might want to consider is the bore size. If it's too tight, you will break paint no matter how soft that lvl 10 is. Likewise, if its super loose then the ball will ounce off the side of the barrel and that won't help you much. You should be able to put a ball down the barrle and blow it through with your mouth without much trouble.
