Q- I keep having balls break, but it's not my barrel and I'm not outshooting my hopper. What's wrong?

A- You might need a powerfeed to help with the blowback gas, or you could be shortstroking. How do you know it's not the barrel? If the balls are too tight that can cause breaks. Maybe it's the paint? There are bad batches, and they are affected by the weather. Are you using wire nubbins? They can slice the balls.

So, there is no simple reason why balls break.
