Ball Breakage

Received a brand new tippmann 98 pro plat with ACT and it immediately started breaking balls and wouldn't stop. I adjusted velocity, same problem. So.. HELP MEEEE, please.

Re: Ball Breakage

Are they breaking in the feed neck area or are they breaking in the barrel?

Re: Ball Breakage

look for any burrs in the feedneck and in the breech. any small burr that could cause any non natural contact or effect on the paintball

Its not the number of markers you own it is what you have done to make them your own style of marker.

Re: Ball Breakage

First things first, take apart the gun and clean out all the broken paint out of the breach. Same with the hopper. Broken paint leads to more breaks. Secondly, if you have broken paint in your hopper, you are likely chopping; meaning you are shooting faster than the paint is feeding. Easy solution? Don't shoot as fast, or get a hopper that will keep up. Lastly, what paint are you shooting? The paint you have might just be old or stored improperly or something, and is just so brittle to the point where the air shooting the ball is shattering it. Try a different brand of paint and see if that helps.
