yeah, an A-5 shouldn't really be "chopping" paint as the cyclone feed forces the round into the chamber. The only thing I can think of is if the feed-star and the firing cycle aren't synced properly, that could cause an issue, but if you don't find evidence of shell in the cyclone feeder, then it's most likely just bad paint/old paint being crushed by the force of the air propelling the ball.

cold weather/bad paint Problem with your cyclone parts (ratchet) if they are original maybe their broken, if they have been replaced that could be hte problem, my father got a bad batch once. Maybe try the new metal ratchet Hight velocitiy perhaps? how much were you at?
