What's Wrong With My Gun

[ratboyab]

I don't know much about paintball guns as this si the first gun I own. I recently purchased a Gameface Bone Daddy. The gun itself is excellent, it hits same place every time and has an excellent range. The only problem is when it comes out of the barrel it comes out angled downwards and within a space of around 15 metres, it hits about a meter lower than you are aiming. It's not that the ball drops, it just comes out at an angle. Anyone got any ideas on why this is doing this?

i would assume you have a poor paint to barrel match. this happened to me the second time i took my spyder out. i checked the size of the paint by removing the barrel (after degassing of course) and put the ball in the tip of the barrel that screws into the gun. i thien tried to blow it out (like a blowgun), and it took a lot of force to blow out. after, i looked inside the barrel and i saw what appeared to be scratches on the inside of my barrel. in fact it was part of the paintball shell that was rubbing off in my barrel because it was so tight. i figured that the part of the ball that was left in my barrel could have changed the ballance of the ball, causing it to turn immediately after leaving my barrel. check your paint to barrel match. good luck. hope this helped some.

with you there, the first time i used my marker the balls went all over, i tested the ball barrell thing and the balls just fell out., the last time i used diff balls and hey presto, sweet.

You problem may be as Whitecross says. The balls may be too small for your barrel. If they roll towards the front of the barrel before you pull the trigger then there will not be enough pressure to push the ball out properly.

i have a similar sort of problem(not the balls comming out at angles) but of the poor match between barell and ball. the balls just role out.
the field that i go to is field paint only (cant blame them @5pounds to play and 3p a ball)

i was thinking of getting a new barell but finace is low.
has anyone got a quick fix idea just untill i get some cash for new barell( well new insert for my freak junior)

I'm unfortunately not an expert or a gun tech so I don't know if these quick cheap fixes will work.

Apart from your barrel being too big for the paint it may be that your ball detent isn't working properly. Try adjusting that so it fits further into the gun.

Or try leaving your paintballs open to the atmosphere for a while. they may swell up enough for them not to roll out.

These might work if not then you're gonna have to get a smaller insert or check the classifieds for a cheap small diameter barrel.
