Why is my gun chopping like mad?

[itches and os]

Ok being the noob that i am i got really confused why my gun was chopping yesterday.It also chopped a lil earlier in the week when it was 65 out here everythig that went down yesterday. The temp was 45 degrees It just got done raining if it matters. I was using my a-5 with a 14 inch lapco. I used diabo dusk and Core paintballs and the the cores fit well. Anyways it was pathetic about 7 er 8 shots in i chopped one 2 er 3 shots later another then there was so much crap in barrel it chopped every other ball. later i cleaned it washed wit water and soap dried it off next game bout 20 shots in it did the same thing.

I just wondering if it was paintballs er is there something i need to do. I also just bought paint cores at dunhams and dusks at walmart. Thanks everyone for your help i appreciate you all lookin at this.

as for the chopping problem... maybe the balls were brittle due to the temp..?

Thanks red fer the next game wich is in like 3 weeks should i just save up for somepremies er something with a good rep? Itll be warmer id imagine... I just made up my mind to never buy diablo dusks again...

Blaze fits just about everything... and its pretty nice quality...

and if you play in the "cold" quite a bit... look into some special paint for the cold... i'm pretty sure they have that stuff over in the barrels/paint forum...

oh yea stupid me i was thinking of a 98......i made a mistake dont cry over it.

Uh, right. Next time see if they are breach breaks, or actual barrel breaks.

how could i tell...
there was paint in barrel a lil paint on bolt none in the hopper.... so whats dat mean

[Natural Newbie]

The bolt was chopping the balls. Like said before the paint was probly brittle.

I have had good luck with Diablo Blaze or Midnight in my gun. Dusk seemed to be a thinner shell, and in the cold that could have been enought to chop them up.

I also use GAP, every color except pink works well, and it's cheaper :D

dang u guys r smart

If it's only a little paint on the bolt then chances are it's due to the air impact on the thin shell (with the cold weather). Not due to the ball actually chopping it.

Dusk is actually a pretty thin shelled paint considering it's for Wal Mart, that and pretty small bore. But you add that paint in the cold and you're just asking for trouble.

Get your hands on some RPS Polar Ice or Draxxus Arctic Inferno. Try those and see what happens.

if you are playin in the cold Draxxus makes a special paint for cold weather. Its called "Arctic inferno" i think
