balls breaking in barrel

[rmmatt153]

i have a E-MAG with level ten and that new shot buffering 3.0 softwear in it and when i shoot fast the balls break in the barrel. i have a .690 dye ultralite.i was thinking its because when i rip on it they hit in the barrel, does anyone think that is it?can anyone help me with this problem?

barrel breaks will happen occasionanly with almost every gun. But if you still have the twist lock barrel system a new nubbin may help.

barrel match the paint size?

What kind of paint? How old was it? how was it cared for?

[rmmatt153]

the paint was brand new it was pmi premium. the paint is .689 but everyone at the field i played at as well as work at ( www.ccpaintball.com )countryclub paintball said to get that size barrel and it should be fine.

Need more information...

Are you shooting in emode, hybrid or manual???

When you say you broke one ball per game, how many were you shooting per game? There is a big difference in 1 ball break in 200 balls and 1 ball break in 1200 balls...

If you shoot the gun at a medium-fast pace, can you empty the hopper?

Given your statement in the above posts, with what % certainty do you feel that if you never ripped on it, that it wouldn't break balls?

Do you hear the cycling of the valve and the LX at work? Does the gun seem to use the LX a lot or does it seem to all ways fire 1 ball per valve cycle?

I shoot pmi premium at one of my local fields, with an emag and LX. It seems to be fairly consistant paint, and shoot fine out of barrels in the .689 area. I might have 1 break every 1000 shots, but no more than that...

Honestly there shouldn't be a problem man... i would have to blame it on the barrel not really being 690 or bad apint

[rmmatt153]

befor i got the gun i hardly broke a ball in the barrel i think its just from me shooting it fast and they are hitting in the barrel but i dont know

[LaW]

I dont see how that would happen your not THAT fast

If you think they are hitting in the barrel you could be double feeding or something... might want to replace your detent or try adjusting it a little by loosening it up or tightning it down a bit who knows

[rmmatt153]

oh trust me i can shoot it really really fast and with that new shot buffing 3.0 softwear it really helps. if i new how to put videos on here i would show you how fast i can shoot you would be suprised. if i didnt have lx i would be skrewed

[Paintchucker]

how fast is "ripping on it" ??? 6bps,10 bps, ???

Two things that come to mind are:

is there a foamy on the end of the bolt?

The ball detente might be in just a hair too far...

You shouldn't be breaking that many balls. Have you tried not ripping on it to see how many balls you can shoot without breaking one? Just as a test...

Also, what mode are you shooting in? Manual, E-mode???

[rmmatt153]

its set at about 15 or more a sec and im ripping fast. im on E when i play but its only when i really shot it and there is always that time you shoot really fast in a game. yes there is a foam pieace at the end of the bolt when i shoot normal it doesnt break. ill try some stuff like changing the barrel messing with the detent and stuff. thanks guys
