i have an a5 that breaks balls like no other, i do have a flatline, but it breaks just as many as my stock barrel and 14". so i know its not just the flatline. on avg, every 20th ball breaks. i havent been shooting old paint, just new nelslat and nelson anarchy. i do have an r/t and nitro runnin thru a remote. i polished my internals, and i dont think i messed anything up. i just have no clue why my gun breaks so many balls. has anyone else had this problem, or know what causes it? ------------- A5 with lots of expensive milsim stuff |

questions... If you are not sure.. then turn your velocity down, and try it again. Im not familiar with those balls. I know that I got some paint from a friend the other day, and every 4rth ball would break, and it was brand new hard shell paint.. So i bought someother paintballs, that had a softer shell..at wal mart, some wild streaks, and didnt break a ball all day.. More then likely it is: ------------- Spyder Imagine 2k4 --- -14" Custom barrel -DOP Xcore 8stage X Chamber -DOP Bullet Drop -12v Revvy w/x board ---- |

id break with that paint w/o polished internals, but less than now. how much do new reciever halves cost for the a5. thanx. oh, and my velocity is usually around 280, but i run about to 265 or 270 with my flatline for obvious reasons. ------------- A5 with lots of expensive milsim stuff |

Is the paint in the barrel or on the bolt when it breaks? ------------- To the pope mobile!!

popemobile- to answer your question, the paint has
been in the barrel everytime, except once, and i think that the reason the paint got into the chamber was because i broke 3 in a row, and then tried to swab it, and i believe i just pushed the paint back into the chamber. 1man team98, why a new bolt, it sounds logical, but i cant see any damage or anything on the bolt or bolt o-ring. what about the barrel adapter? could that be the cause of the problem? thanks for all the help ------------- A5 with lots of expensive milsim stuff |
