balls breaking in barrel

[G-Rock]

This may sound stupid, but we have a Freak front on our team that if one guy shoots it it is a blender and all the rest of us it works great. We all shoot emags or xmags also. We ound a couple of burrs in it and smoothed them out, and it is the only barrel we have the problem with.

Now if you load your paint in your hopper and leave it siting around in the sun, it will weaken the shell on some of the paint, especially the one in the neck of the hopper. I had a similiar problem like yours and that was what was causing it. I know when not using the marker and have paint loaded cover it with a towel to block the direct sunlight or set it down in the shade.

Hope this helps man.

I dont know why your balls are breaking, everything seems to be correct really

but I can guarantee the balls arent hitting each other in the barrel :)
Think about it, if one ball is going (lets just say) 300 fps when it is shot, and continues that velocity as it moves through the barrel, and say the next ball is released .05 seconds later... the balls will always be .05 seconds apart. I understand the speed reduces as it goes through the barrel, slightly, but so does EVERY ball, so they will never hit each other (unless of some extreme circumstance when its outside the barrel, but that would have to be like something crazy)

rmmatt153, may i ask how you can shoot REALLY fast and only use one hopper a game? i think your fibbing!

the egg tops out at 17bps and we have ALL seen an emag shoot at 25 Balls per sec. Reason i say this is because if Anything you would have chuffs or chops which it seams like you arnt because you have Not said a thing about that.

And if you think about it, the retro valve is really consistant... and would never have that much shoot down/up to make the balls hit inside the barrel

Barrel brakes hmmm.. try a diffrent Barrel


also i dont think you have 3.0 lol

i didn't read all the really big posts but i didn't see anyone ask this before...

did you make sure the paint was really .689? sounds like you used less than a case of paint so maybe you had an old case or something....maybe it got hot and swelled...
