don't get any of them unless you have a problem with the stock ones. There is no advantage over other bolts and power tubes.

I would have to diagree with you Gpacker4686. I just bought a Rufus Dawg Wicked Bolt and I have seen a big preformance gain. The gun is more accurate, when I split a ball I could keep fireing because of the new bolt system and I was using really crappy paint with my velocity turned up which usually would break the balls and I did not break any thanks to the way the bolt cradles you ball.

Please explain to me how the front bolt affects accuracy?

Accuracy is all about paint to bore match.

Stock internals are the best you can get for Tippys.

i think you almost just quoted the summary of what the bolt is said to do...also you may have had crummy paint, but ive used a lot of crummy paint, and it normally fits well and i havnt any chops with my stock internals

Where are you chopping them at? In the loader? In the barrel? In the Bolt?

Do this test.

Take ten paintballs, and drop them one at a them from a hieght of about 5 feet onto a hard surface, like a tile,or hardwood floor, or a sidewalk. If more than 2-3 break your paint is to brittle for the cyclone.

If they break in the barrel that means two things, either your shooting cheap/old paint, or your barrel needs cleaning. 

If your bolt is chopping balls in half in the chamber you probably have a problem with your cyclone.  Does this problem happen at specific rates of fire?  More likely at high rates than low rates? 

If your cyclone is working, you should never "chop" a paintball with the bolt.  That's not to say that paint won't break IN the cyclone, chamber or barrel.  When you say "chopping", that is a very specific type of problem.
