today i was shooting my f4 and i didnt have a chance to clean the bolt because i was still being shot at, i found that the broken ball made my shooting go to hell and i broke a few more because of the mush in the barrel i dont know how but some of the paint seemed to sucked into my hoopper coating the inside of the entire hopper

um...yeah...any paint in the breech area or barrel area affects your accuracy...this is not a new concept...

not sure why you had a broken ball to begin with, but the couple of times I've blown up paint in the barrel (I have yet to chop with Sensi on) I've managed to just keep shooting til it was clean.

Depends on the paint. I shoot winter fill, and a broken ball in the barrel with winter fill means that I either need to squeegee or consign myself to 15-foot-or-shorter assaults.

That was with the stock barrel, though. My new Pipe Kit is doing wonders for me.

so you just confirmed my theory...if you break a ball your accuracy goes to crap...either clean the marker or shoot it clean...some paint just takes longer to shoot clean that others.

I've blown up paint in the breech once a twice, at first I contributed it to TR being set too low. Too often it'd double feed (bounce) on the first two shots. Situation resolved though. I always run a squeegie through my barrel before a game, regardless!
