Well I went out and bought myself a lapco bigshot and I must say with my first outing with my favorite paint (slam balls) I never ever broke so much paint in my entire life this was awful I went through about 200 balls and maybe 20 made it out the barrel...the barrel has .688 printed under the lapco emblem and I have to wonder bad batch of balls or wrong bore to paint match???? I don't know but this can't happen again Anyone know the size of this paint I thought it was just like a marb but I checked the fit in the barrel and I actually had to force the paintball out with a small screw driver!! doesn't look good for the home team

if you had to force the paint through, then it was too large a ball.try marb or blaze.that bigshot is a realy good barrel,give it a chance

my bad I looked at the barrel again and my bad it does not have .688 printed under the printed name bigshot.... so I dunno I thought slam balls were the same size as marbs apparently not huh?? I realized that 32 degrees team colors will not work either:( what a dissapointment....

this sucks my bigshot shoots like **** with team colors and
slamballs I'm like wtf????
I suggest writing or calling Lapco and, in a reasonable voice, explaining your problem. the should be able to tell you how to troubleshoot, or it's my understanding that they will replace it.

maybe they screwed up and its an autospirit instead of a bigshot

yeah that would explain why my paint won't fit, you fellas may just have solved my problem..... I will definately check into that... (why didn't I think of this) I was figuring it was odd that my big shot had a raised center piece in the middle of the barrel like the autospirit and all the bigshots I saw online were straight the length of the barrel except at the ends..... hmmm maybe this is something to look into!!! thanks guys

Maybe you'll get lucky and they will send you a free :D bigshot for all the inconveniences.

I emailed them and they told me my dealer must of specified another size other than the norm because my lapco should be more tolerant and my dealer more or less told me to buy different paint... no returns on paintball junks....but it turns out the barrel likes big ball so I guess I have a new favorite paint..
