I would suggest getting a Lapco Bigshot. The stock barrels are ill bored, and suck borribly. A new barrel will fix your problems.

A dud? My J&J never fails me. Actully... i think the paint you use is extremely low grade from Wal-Mart if im not mistaken. Paint makes a pretty big deal in how the balls moves and breakage wise. also, get a better squeegee, DOP makes a nice one ( i have it). As for paint, im usually using diablo heat or when my local paintball shop has it, evil paintballs. Both of excellent choices in my opinion. -*Never buy the "white box" special*- ------------- A-5 Response Trigger DOP Blade Trigger Polished Internals X-Chamber Custom Paint 14" J&J |

I have a JJ and the only time I have problems with it is cheap/old paint or smaller bores. I use DBX Practice a lot and it works well. Any medium bore .689-.691 should shoot through it fine. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

you could try different kinds of paint or you could get a new barrel. If you went with a new barrel get a Lapco Big Shot anywere from 8-14 inches. ------------- Tippmann A-5 Palmer Male Vertical Adapter D.O.P. Drop Forward Lapco Big Shot 14" No Trigger Spring E-grip |
