Beginner information

Hello! Im a beginner who just started playing pb. Me and my buddies bought us a marker each and i got a Sheridan xtse nemesis. It seems to me its shredding the balls all the time. does anyone know what to do about this. Does it work to change the bolt or do i need special paintballs. Whe are playing with co2 and last time it was pretty cold outside, does this matter? Could the pressure be too high?
Im glad for any answer. Thanks. Alex.

i have been having the same problems with one of my guns that i had bought a while back and what i did to fix it was to get a new barrel cause every stock on every gun is not as good as an aftermarket barrel and also what made my gun work better was to set the velocity right. when my gun was chopping paint, i had the velocity cranked up and i was bustin ballz like a mofo. now about the weather. i personally do not like playing in cold weather because the gun can freeze up and it hurts like crap gettin shot. your gun might not have this, but check the detent wire and see if its not too far out cause if it is, the detent is probably knifing the balls. if thats the problem just bend it in a little and see how it works then. if none of what i said helps, it might just be a poorly made gun and there is nothing that will help that except replacing all the parts in the gun.

all right,there may be a couple of things causing this.Number one, what brand balls do you use, like for instance brass eagles suck. I would recomend something like diablos.Also,check yer velocity,sometimes it is to high and chops balls.The weather out side doesn't really matter except for Co2. If worse comes to worse check with your locals proshop.Good luck on fixin it.:D
