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. ------------- www.putfile.com/sockfootball21 |

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. -------------
