Angel trigger problem? Please help!

I bought my Angel some weeks ago and since then ,I got this problem:
Sometimes when I fire my Angel it shoots 2 paintballs with one trigger pull. It does this sometimes during rapid fire and when I slowly pull the trigger (slowly first-shot-then fast a little more-second shot on the same pull).
Now I have it on mode b (which is supposed to be semi-auto) ,and I never changed it. I haven't shortened or done anything to the trigger too ,and I haven't changed any other settings of it.
What I actually did is play with it from day one on 20-shot Maximum Rate of Fire. Last time I lowered the MROF in 12 and it did this again but not so many times.
What's wrong with my Angel(if anything is wrong)? I'm not sure if this should bother me cause both shots spat are accurate ;) but I'm afraid that if I go to a tourney I might have problems with someone noticing this. Help me please!
Thanks
P.S. Two of my friends bought their Angels with me and none of them had this characteristic.

Im no angel expert, as a few people will no doubt point out soon (Pika, Matksi, and Mario). Though it sounds like you have summin wrong with your anti-double ball. This stops two balls feeding into the angel and getting shot/chopped etc. I think on angels the anti-double balls is some kind of ball that sticks into the breech. Check that is still works by seeing how much it sticks into the breech.

Though I could be completely wrong!

Check your ball detent (what ciaran.mooney was on about). In the Angel it's got a small ball bearing that can be pushed in and out of you feel for it (it's next to where the barrel screws in). If you get a lot of breech breaks though then the small space that the ball pushed back into can fill with paint. It's worth checking that. Also check your Angel manual - it's the most detailed manual you'll get with and gun!! Also, the detent is one of the more 'disposable' parts of the Angel, you can get another one for pretty cheap (a couple of quid). Also ring WDP, they've got fantastic customer support and it's worth trying them before anything drastic! Good luck :D
 
might just be a simple case of trigger bounce, when you pull the trigger and the gun recoils, the slight movement can cause you yo pull the trigger again by hardly moving, (we managed 19 shots a second using this at a training day) so although you are 'pulling' the trigger once per ball, many places disagree and may pull you for it as they describe a trigger pull as a single movement of the trigger by the finger.

More Information please

Well thanks for all your replies but no ,its not the ball detent I'm sure about that (after all it wouldn't fire two ACCURATE shots if it was) and it has never chopped a single ball till now.
But H.J. Bif seems to be right cause thats what exactly happens to me. I wanna ask you these questions: Is this a REAL problem? Would I have tourney problems with refs? And why don't our other 2 Angels (of my friends) do this? Or all Angels can do this if set (I couldn't do it though on the other 2 Angels)? Can I stop it by adjusting the trigger? Please help me.
 
trigger settings.

in theory all angels can, I've seen one set with the trigger so fine that it was layed on a table, the trigger was pulled and it kept moving on the table through the kick of the gun firing it again.

the best example i've seen though is using the eclipse blade frame as we managed to get 18/19 bps by holding the trigger lightly and using the kick to set it off.

you will probably have problems with some refs. as Imentioned before a trigger pull is normally defined as one pull of your finger causing the trigger to move. so with this set up, your finger is only moving once and therefore can be classed as full auto.
