2003, but the site it comes from (not sure if I can link) has some nice and helpful vids for beginners or great for general viewing. He made FPS films and tip clips for newbies and its all free to view which is great

Following up form what bean and all the others said, you should just try using Different paint, and also try not to give the paint a suddan tempreture drop, the same we get Hypothermia , they dont like it too much either

ALSO, i found out just last week at dartford, if you havent changd your detents recently .. you may find that 2 balls fall through then the hit together in the barrel and it causes serious breaks ..

.. to be onest mate, i dont know hal as much as these boys but im just talking from what i have found is the problems

Hope it helps

Ah yes, the detents... I'm fairly used to double-balling from my days working with the old pumps, and it's not that. You can usually tell, as you get double the paint out of the end, and quite often a complete (but hollow) shell.

Thanks though

I will try storing the paint nearer to outside temperature on the day before a game though, as that may help a bit

Yikes! You don't want to get your balls cold either on the day or before

Better to keep them at the recommended temp on the box for as long as possible, so store them in a warmish room at home and then try and keep them warm at the field, either using an expensive but very good Flametech bag or an insulated hot/cold box.

This advice is not only limited to paintball.

Hmm, well I know how I keep those balls warm... Not sure there's room down there for a box of 2000 however!
