ego chopping/smashing paint

[Polly]

yeh batteries were brand new, but as i said the eyes were on so hopper speed shouldnt make a difference

change your detents


:>

egos chop paint when the detents die

ok guy i think its the barrel, as i unloaded a whole hopper on ramping without the barrel on, and didnt get one break then as soon as i put it on i got a break. I have no idea why as the paint/barrel match is good but there ya go. gonna try a different barrel to see if that clears it up.

thanks for all the ideas

i very much doubt it's that unless your barrel bore is really too small , I was told at a Nexus clinic that you should get a clean roll through with as little space as possible between the balls and the barrel (something to do with not needing the barrel to hold the ball as nobody uses cockers anymore) , the forces on a paintball are much much different when the barrel is on,and if anything you may want to try upping your dwell to 10 and screwing the LPR in 2 full turns from flush ,it could just be to high an LPR and a combination of ****ty cold weather.

They do say (i hear your using a Pulse, but..) that Halo's, cracks fragile paint, then when the ball is fired, it of course is destroyed, making it look like a chop.

Tried another loader?

Dskize os probably right though about the LPR/Dwell combo though.

Just to add, when you check the detents, sometimes they can look fine but aren't, they split at the base but go back to shape, you have to fiddle with them to make sure they're not split... If you know what I mean.

i was using atmosphere paint which i wouldnt class as fragile but i will try another hopper just to make sure. i have now altered the lpr/dwell but will have to wait till sunday to try it as i am out of air and paint
