E-Blade Problem??

[Scorpion]

Hi there Guys

Have only one problem that you guys could help me with. Playing the dartford 7's today i had the problem where the paintballs were either curving or dropping off. Now last week it was shooting perfectly until the rain started and now it not working properly.

Could you explain what the hell is going on or could it have been the paint i was using??

A quick reply would be appricated!!

Cheers

there was a tread about problems going on with the eblade and a bit of rain, have a search on the forums,

easy m8,rain drops hitting the ball in flight make it heavyer on one side,which causes it to "hook" to one side

also having a wet barrel is very much like having paint inside it, so if rain seeps into your barrel via the porting, your pretty screwed

Hey guys

Thanks for the info. Firstly thanks Dicky i will have seach thought the forums and 2nd le-pig and TOOLE i understand what u are saying but today there was no rain and very little wind. Some shots went perfectly straight, some hooked badly, some where flying and hookin one direction and then the other direction and other where dropping badly as well.

Thanks.

in which case it will 99% likely that it was either that you had paint in your barrel, or that you were using rubbish paint with dimples in

bad paint

I must admitt ****ty paint could be the culprit, but had a chat with someone today and they hit me with an intresting one. I was having trouble with curving paint, even high grade. And the barrel match was spot on also. They asked what fps I was firing at, and in general i tend to crank it up to as close to 300 as allowed. It would appear that certain paint would be far straighter at 275 or 270, not so much stress on the ball, just an idea.
