Anyone know why I am getting them? Its bleding paint, and having massive drop offs, hopper is fine, its a Z boarded egg with new batteries. I dont know what is causing the drop offs, I get +/- 100 fps sometimes.
Also if you have 2 volumizers, do you want the bigger one on the exhaust valve or LPR?

where do you find shims for your lpr? and also, doesnt adding shims increase the pressure?

yes and it will change your drop off, your speed comes with a few extra, and you can order them, look on the sponsors page

how many shims did you add? does it effect your guns performance noticably?
also, are there no other possibilites. If there are, can you please list them, so when running test on my Speed this sunday, I can check off what may be causing the problem, and narrow it down to one final thing

i had 6-8 shims in my LPR...it might be your ram also..or your LPR needs adjusting not just shims.....or maybe your dwell needs to be raised...

raised my dwell, it calmed down abit, but I am still getting bigger velocity variations then I should be. How do you adgust your LPR? And how do you remove it? Is it that screw between the exhaust valve and the LPR? If not, which one is it?

here is what i do grab a small allen wrench put it through the hole in the middle of the LPR and drag it out, BE SURE NOT TO LOSE ANY OF THE SPRINGS!!!! then you can add or remove shims as you wish, as for adjusting it you need an LPR tool....

If the velocity drop offs are random then the ball could be escaping past the detents. The Z code Halo's have had some issues with feeding too strong. This could account for the chopping as well. Basically, 1and a half(the chopped one) balls would be fed instead of just one.

maybe the preset is the problem...is it an hp or lp preset, i have a pure energy hp preset and with the stock reg i would get like +- 20 or more...i put a torpedo reg on it and i get +-2

question for you vegetable, this doesnt have anything to do with ur problem, but whered you get your egg with a z-board, ive been looking for one and heared you have to buy the board seperately, help me out.

have you fixed the problem yet?
tell us about the marker setup (upgrades, settings...)
adjusting the lpr-read the manual
lpr tool- comes in angel tool kit, look at sponsors sites first if ordering online, i got one this week at paintball wizard their web site advertises it for $50
do you double charge your marker before using it?
