No pic, no post. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Wrong forum: Let's see, you have a problem with your marker (i.e. it needs repair) and you don't have a picture to post. So you look at the forum and select the "Marker Gallery" forum (with the "NO PIC, NO POST" topic near the top of the page) to post in as opposed to the "Gun Maintenace and Repair" forum? -------------

are the balls breaking in the cyclone or in the chaber or in the barrel? Are the paintballs old? How fast were you trying to shoot (both fps and bps)? ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

Where is the broken paint? In the barrel, in the breech, or in the cyclone? Barrel- bad paint or too high a velocity, whats it chronoed at? Breech- Your bolt is chopping paint, which it shouldn't be with a cyclone. Or your detent is in backwards. Cyclone- might have a sharp edge on a paddle, check it for defects. ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site

yeah i opened and oiled up any plastic to plastic contacts closed it tight enough without stripping the threads. i stipped the thread for the actual paddle the one that holds it down with the washer dunno if this would have an effect... but ive lowered my velocity and ive sanded and smoothened any sharp edges in the hopper and ill try it out tommorow if it still doesnt work im gunna bring it in to a local paintball place or try getting a tech t squishy paddle maybe that may help. ------------- X7 16" jj performance barrel g36 stock g36 foregrip egrip |
