buy a new barrel to preven ball breaks or get better balls
also what kind of balls were yuo using

[aospvtjoker]

isn't that a viewloader gun? well there ya go

[pl@yer]

sounds like you are chopping balls which gets paint in the internals, cleaning the barrell and then blowing paint back into your clean barrel.
It might help to turn the feed stop and fire some air through then squeegee the barrell. A know some people who swear by treating their barrell with rainx they can skip the squeegy part. The best thing to do is determine what the problem is and fix it.

Someone already asked what type of paint are you using and I'm also going to ask what is your velocity set at?


If your using good quality paint(Brass Eagle isn't) then most likely it is because the paint is 'out-of-round', causing it to fly in all sorts of strange directions...like curve and hit the guy sneaking up behind you:eyes: .

The velocity spring guide pin has a bushing on it. When I started using my Genesis I not only had to remove that bushing but I had to cut my spring(since then it has been replaced, Spyder springs fit) just to get my velocity down to acceptable (250fps) without the adjustment screw in.

all paint i use warp after ball breaks and barrel cleaned. i dont know my velocity because i never play at a field and i dont have a chronographer

[Headhunter]

Is your velocity screw turned all the way in(clockwise)? If so back it out about 5 turns(counter-clockwise). See what happens after that.

If balls still break(is it chopping?) then remove the bushing on the guide pin. Try it again.

If balls still break, try a different batch or brand. If that doesn't work, as a last resort, replace or cut your main spring(only 3 coils). Without a chrono or actually having the marker on hand it's difficult to tell. Let us know.

Not that this will make much of a difference but what is your air source and where are you located?
