paintball choices

I was very happy with the case of JT Elite I just finished today. Very good for the money...

PMI-PREMIUM is the best, always works good for me. Accurate, doesnt break.

I have used Competitive Edge, 32*, Blaze, Marbs, Viper Venom (Great paint), Severe, and some others. I have not had a problem with any of it. Was it old paint? Brittle? The 'Mag has gotten a bad rep because of bad paint. I shoot pretty fresh paint but I have used old crap before with no problems.

tl1000s: I suspect what you are getting at is the fact that guns with a high bolt speed, especially that use metal bolts, will destroy brittle paint in the feed tube if you get partial feeds. The slower bolt speeds. low pressure bolt activation, and delrin tipped bolts tend to reduce this (only LP driven bolts stop this, but pinching can be just as bad, or worse for feeding).

The mag is pretty harsh on paint that feeds partially, although it's still much easier on paint than most blow-back semi's, the bolt sanding Tom recomended will alleviate this somewhat. Shooting less brittle paint will as well.

Any RPS paint is good. JT Maxim (my current fav), though pricier than most, shoots darts out of my Emag.

Pro-ball is good all around paint too.

Sand your bolt down. After I did that I can shoot anything. Last week I was doing snap shooting drills with 16 month old JT. Half a case, zero breaks.

I use draxxus (diablo) midnight. I havent had any barrel breaks. It works great in my J&J ceramic. And it's some of the best paint for the price.

I think I'll try to round the bolt edge a bit as described previously. The problem paint I've used is JT elite, although I had some diablo midnight break too.

TL -try a foamy nosed bolt. I shoot a lot of Diablo and Anarchy out of my LP timmy's, when I switch to my Mag I continue to shoot brittle paint. I got an AGD foamy bolt and I can shoot anything now. I rarely chop and when I do it's usually on the run or while loading my hopper and still railin on my intelliframe.

Check them out in the AGD Store.
