I just bought a 2K3 Autococker with a 2-piece Boomstick. The Boomstick has a Spyder to Cocker Adapter on it. I was using Hurricane paint .688 and the paint wouldn't fit through the Adapter since half of the Adapter was smaller than .688.

My Paint Shop said that using Draxxus Blaze paint would fit through the adapter, but how accurate would that paint be coming out of the barrel?

barrel adapters are a no-no:finger: but since you have it yes the paintballs will work, but save you money and get a new back once you have enough

How would the accuracy be with the adapter? I read the Lapco pages on the adapter I have and they say it improves accuracy. :confuse: It's not a huge difference in bore but i'm not 100% sure.

They say it improves accuracy but that's not usually the case since most adapters tend to be large bore and the paint (in a cocker) will roll to different lengths of the barrel or even double feed...but since you say yours is smaller than .688 it should work fine with most paints. Accuracy shouldn't be affected too much.

Thanks for the reply reneirwolf!

Yeah I didn't think the accuracy would be affected too much. I'm going to use Draxxus Blaze which was recommended by my paint shop. They said it was the smallest paint they had and would go through the adapter with no problems.

I tried Hurricane paint (.688) and paint broke like crazy. However, my buddy pulled out his Orracle and I let him borrow my Boomstick with the adapter and his Marbs fit. He didn't break any paint. I thought Marbs were .689 right?
