First off i would like to say i love my A1. I play every weekend and i usually have not problems. I have one of the first guns that came out SN 443. I finally got all the kinks worked out and it shoots fine. But i only have one problem. I purchased a Sly barrel kit for my A1 since they didn't have the barrel expansion kit out. Well i am stationed overseas so the supplies and choices are limited (including paint). I have been noticing this problem recently. My field changed their paint to Empire brands. Specifially Ramp paintballs. I purchased these balls on two seperate occasions (both for rec ball). I did my research on the paint and noticed that it had some good reviews. Well i bought this paint the first time and the paint just broke on a consistent basis. Even a low rates of fire (i.e. snap shooting practice). So i gave up and sold it. Well my field ran out of the paint i normally use... so i had to buy Ramp again. I first thougt it was a bad batch. Well I loaded up and began to practice again (snap shooting). The same result happened. I turned down my paint settings to 1 fragile. I was thinking this would alleviate some of my issues. It did not. I even oversized my bore .689 to see if it was a bad match. Still the same result. Now i am thinking it is my marker. I do not have the numbers to my pressure settings (still waiting on my maintenance items in the mail). But right now I have one shim in my LPR. That is all i got. I am wondering if it could be the pressure that is causing the balls to break. The breaks aren't barrel breaks either. I continously clean my bolt every time i chop. Please can someone help me on this issue.
