Read up on the level ten, also if it is cold where you live..you need to use winter fill paint, I had the same problem this winter with chopping...Then i switched to arctic inferno and no more problems.

I usually get about 500-600 shots from my 68 3k

[Soopa Villain17]

well 500-600 is alot better than 300 lol, i was so bummed out , and yea maine is pretty darn cold right now and the balls im using are old and cheap

[mag88888]

im in vermont. soo many balls explode in the barrel. never paint on the bolt.

[Soopa Villain17]

yea when i took my barrel off to clean it there was only paint in the barrel , how do barrels chop paint? thats gay , i thot bolts chopped?

[aovboy]

Barrels don't chop, the balls just break. It is usually due to a deformity in the shell of the paint, or because your bore size is too big or too small. Too big means it bounces around, and too small pinches the paint.

oh , the balls are zap rec series and pmi super swirls , i i mixed em up , they have been sitting in my hot room for over 2 months now and i bought them at wally world , so i bet its the balls , i like the level ten , i was using a vl200 and i was shootin pretty fast and yet the bolt didnt chop once , i love mags

[automikey]

cold busting your balls

"Barrels don't chop, the balls just break. It is usually due to a deformity in the shell of the paint, or because your bore size is too big or too small. Too big means it bounces around, and too small pinches the paint."

Very good info.

Switch to artic inferno, it makes a big difference in winter. That's your first problem.

Next, I'll bet the paint you are using is also too big for the barrel. You want your paint to roll out the barrel, and if you watch it roll out it will ideally have 2-3 contact points with the inside of the barrel but very little space around the ball.

Your ball detent will keep the ball in the marker and stop double feeding.

Also, chrono your gun. When I got my Tac from Tuna it had a chrono receipt that said it was shooting a consistent 285 fps, but when I tried it out (note: most likely using a different barrel and paintballs) it was shooting 330 fps and wasting a lot of air.

They all say that after a case or two of paint, the seals are broken in and it should work better.

And switch to SS lines- this is a Tac-One, after all...

Oh, I also forgot to mentiom; try to use paint that has that "perfect fit" to your barrel. It should help out with effiecency. Not sure by how much, but...you'll see much better results, especially through accuracy.

i like macro though , but i dont have access to any good paintballs , the only good place to get good balls is over the net and right now im broke , plus my grandfather just went to walmart last night and bot me a big 2000 case of fresh zap paint so maybe it will shoot better

[Soopa Villain17]

and i have no way to chrono it , not a field around for miles , well i gutta go , no1 will give me a ride so i guta go walk a few miles to the place i get my tanks filled , bye
