Most brittle paint you've got through your Ego 11?

[MattyD]

Hello good people's!

Just picked up an Ego 11, ill be shooting it at a big game soon, just wondered what the the most brittle paint would get through this beast!?

Bare in mind ill be playing for hours straight so I nee paint that can take being knocked about in pods all day without breaking also!

Thanks folks!

an ego11 will shoot any paint you want it to but if you are in woodland for this big game go for something you can shoot through undergrowth/bushes

Good point, so Ego 11's can shoot the top grades such as GI Imperial, Ultra Evil etc without barrel breaks?

at round 4 all I used was GI imperial through my 11, shot about 3000 all day and not a single barrel break.

yup Jack tests all our guns with all kinds of paint, from cheap stuff up to top end super brittle stuff, he even keeps paint stored in bad conditions for months for testing....you would need some seriously shocking paint to have a problem shooting it.
its worth mentioning here as well that a fair amount of what most people perceive as breach or barrel breaks (because that is where they find the paint) have been proved to be caused by the tension on the paint from the hopper, so with fragile paint always make sure your hopper isnt crushing your balls so to speak
last time i played in the woods i used a mid range paint that was still intact when i dropped it waist high onto firm ground (wasnt concrete), it shot well through twigs and sticks and still broke well on targets.

Excellent thanks folks!

Yeah ill probably go for something a grade down from the top, thanks again for the insight!

I used evil ultra at the weekend in 11 and LV 1 no breaks shot great.
Only time I've had problems with paint was at extremely low temp,last winter every player had same problem even polar ice was playing up.
I turned the tension down on Rotor after then just incase.
