Yesterday I was at my freinds at a paintball game he set up, and I was using Tippmann werks pbs. They usually work good in my flatline, but they were busting every single one. Velocity was down, clean barrel, etc. Then I try my armson stealth, all breaks. And finally my stock barrel, every other one was breaks. The veloicty was down on all these barrels and they were clean. I heard that over time, i had my gun about 2 years, that the front bolt gets weared down and the front bolt becomes sharp, thus breaking the balls inside the gun. Not sure if I need a new bolt or something else, but thanks for your help. And does anyone know a paintball that works good in the armson stealth? ------------- 98 Custom Armson Stealth 13" Flatline GTA Expansion Chamber GTA Double Trigger Ben Tippmann Sealed Bolt Lapco Drop APP Sling |

i was shooting about 2-3 bps, or less, not fast at all. I just bought the paint a few weeks earlier, but the paint was on the shelves for a while, about a year probably. The paint seemed good to me, a few dimples, but that was about it. ------------- 98 Custom Armson Stealth 13" Flatline GTA Expansion Chamber GTA Double Trigger Ben Tippmann Sealed Bolt Lapco Drop APP Sling |

The paint was bad. Try a different paint. Anything over 2-3 months is most likely bad.

i put some of my marballizers in, no breaks and straight shooting, but the only thing is I can't afford 80 bucks a case for marbs at dunhams. Ya they are $48 online, but Im worried about them breaking via shipping. What online store is the best for shipping paint? actionvillage, xtremes, etc? ------------- 98 Custom Armson Stealth 13" Flatline GTA Expansion Chamber GTA Double Trigger Ben Tippmann Sealed Bolt Lapco Drop APP Sling |

Are there any other local stores that you can buy paint from? Or try another brand, high end paint is always nice but lower end paint, when fresh, will still work well. Old paint would be your problem, I had an old pod laying around the house that I target shot, almost all breaks. New paint a day later at the field shot great with almost no breaks at all. ------------- CCI Phantom... yes it's pump 3.5oz co2 Impulse Eggy II 45 4500 fiber 98 Custom |

The Blaze I bought from them was old and the shipping was pretty expensive. No broken ones though. |
