too brittle paint? the barrel bore sizing?!?! the bolt is fecked and catching the edges of balls? i dunno. oh check you barrel on the end for a bit of metal sticking out. i found that on my barrel and was not best pleased. only takes 5 minutes and small file tho :D

To what psi, and would this actually help in stopping ball breakage's?

Dwell - is at 14 at the moment but have tried it up to 17 and still breaking paint.

Detent is clean and is in properly.

Did this suddenly start? Did you do somethin before it started?

Lower it by about 15psi, should help. Also check the hopper is working ok.

Dwell should be fine at 14 with decent paint :)

Never reduced my LPR pressure Phillip? When the LPR did drop (to about 80) on my IR3 it just caused drop off under rapid fire :) I would say if it is on or around the 90/95 mark then leave it be...

Could check to see if the balls are feeding properly into the marker. Pop 2 in the feedneck. Fire the first one and make sure the second drops into the breach properly and doesn't either jump out the neck, or bobble around in the neck :)

Are the balls breaking in the barrel or on the actual bolt?

Yup its started on the last game of the last leg of the swpl and hasnt stopped since nothing was done to the gun. The hopper is working ok I think although i am going to try a egg 2 as the one i am using is a egg1.
Barrels are fine checked all of them for flaaws nothing there though.

Could it maybe be that dirt has gotten in somewhere and causing a fluctuation, no i dont think it could be that as my velocity is pretty constant 284, 284, 279 etc.

paint i have tried a variation of different paint and everything is breaking. it only seems to be breaking paint when i fan the trigger to get a higher rate of fire.
