I got this bolt the other day, & immediately went to test it. I used a gravity fed hopper that I knew couldn't keep up w/ the bolt. I was trying to make it chop a ball. I wanted to see if my $45 was invested into a good product. Immediately I noticed much less vibration when the gun was on full auto, because of the much lighter bolt. I noticed a tighter grouping, & last but not least not a single chopped ball... Oh... I forgot to mention... The balls I used were very old, swollen, & brittle... I'm a cheap skate & was making sure it was worth that $45.
Conclusion:
Well... It did exactly what it was supposed to...I was very impressed w/ product. It's made by kingman so you know it's made well. It was well worth the money & may actually be a better & just as simple upgrade as my tear drop. would buy this over a super fly or bandit.
I have a e99-avant (14bps)and i play backman,i still have the stock bolt and i use a empire reloader. when ever i shoot fast for a few balls i would chop and have to squeege out.this meant i was choppin like 3-10 balls per game (5 minute speedball 5man). does this bolt ever chop anything and if so how often.

This bolt rarely chops. My friend used my Imagine one day and he chopped several times because he was using horrible paint. However, I have never chopped with this bolt when using good paint like PMI Premiums and Draxxus Blaze.
