Paintball Terminology - Ball Chop vs Barrel Break

[Grayhams11]

sometimes my gun fires two balls at the same time, is there a reason why this happens?

[123rokas]

Uhm, what about the dye rotor? its on max all the time :D

[creeperface12349]

hey mike, what gun do you usually use in woodsball, and what's the difference between carbonfiber tanks and regular compressed air tanks?

[PlasteredClover]

@creeperface12349 there isnt one. the carbon fiber wrapped ones are just lighter then the steel ones.

[bones5978]

@creeperface12349 hey creeper face i saw your comment and wanted to help. carbon fiber tanks are very very light compared to other tanks. they are made out of carbon fiber while others are made of steel. unfortunetly they cost more than steeltanks. carbon fiber tanks also hold more air. over all i recomentd a carbon fiber tank. hope this helps -bones5978

[codeman2428]

@creeperface12349 ive seen in so many of mikes videos that he uses his gog g1/smart parts sp1. but then again he has a lot of guns

[blablayoyo100]

what are eyes

[PattyObrien616]

@blablayoyo100 eyes are little lights or lasers on either side of the gun that detect paintballs. if it doesn't detect a paintball or only half a paintball the bolt cannot move forward which prevents chops

[RockinTrigger]

so I just bought a new apex 2 barrel, and I got an old paintball, rolled it down the barrel and got stuck, I did it to the older barrel I have and did the same thing, do you think it was just the old paint or what? Please respond Mike!

[ZopteY]

sometime I see people will be at their house dry-firing their guns...

[ZopteY]

If there is so much stress on your balls that it actually compacts them and brakes them before it gets into your gun =)

[LotusTxt]

hey mike what if im shooting faster thn my hopper feeds.

[Lulsaints]

@LotusTxt Then get a better hopper or slow down your gun.

[ZopteY]

@LotusTxt youre eyeswill stop you from shooting

[JonnyMan131]

Im poor and i use a gravity hopper and it chops balls all the time why is that?

[LotusTxt]

@JonnyMan131 ..............................­.

[meuberepic]

i see people with there egos chopping all the time because they tried to "tune" it and fucked it up. i play milisim and just use a ifit kit, adjusting the bolt often causes more harm than good, un less you can sit on the field for an hour tuning it, then by all means do;

but make sure you know the consequences and

KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING KIDS OR YOU WILL FUCK UP

[thomascatlett555]

i dont have a fancy electronic gun. i have an a5 with cyclone feed, i cant tell if its a chop or a barrel break.

[xXhunter47Xx]

@thomascatlett555 Usually barrel break. Cyclones only shoot when you do. It's bps is the same as your bps. Loaders aren't like that.

[thomascatlett555]

@xXhunter47Xx well would over using the manual feed system cause a chop?

[xXhunter47Xx]

@thomascatlett555 Yeah, you would but really unless you have an e-grip or an X7 electronic (which you don't have, the x7), it's pretty slim. If you think it's a chop then look at the squishy paddles if to see if there's paint on it.

[airsoftech]

Mike, What if i have a rotor and cant adjust the feed setting. Thanks

[carkeeks]

@airsoftech You CAN adjust a rotor , check out the adjustment suggested for pump actions that double feed on a rotor ;)

[psiturbo]

Dude, you again!

Nice bro, love your videos...

[jonee140]

where did u get those stickers on ur hopper

[jake7036]

an body going to splater parks fall big games it coming up really quick

[Dondeestalabano]

3:27 he say "the most important thing to do is to make sure your loader speed is too high"... FAIIIIIIIIIIIIL

[briansnyder21]

@Dondeestalabano wow...back off troll

[spyder3234]

my gun sometimes double shots... wat is wrong?

[psiturbo]

@spyder3234

He just said it, detents!

[donkeyman876]

@SenorsClub

Eyes are little sensors in the marker where the ball feeds in. These eyes detect a paintball in your gun. If a ball is not detected it will not shoot. Some loaders like Halos use eyes to to feed balls. Hope that helps.

[MBarrettProductions]

what is a good loader for azodin kaos?

[omega7628]

@MBarrettProductions Proto primo is what i use or a Winchester

[Drac0916]

So much stress on the balls 3:14

[paintballviewerman]

14 people got shot by mike 300 times in the eye

[Zachattack937]

with my gun i can shoot like 2 balls then my whole barrel and bolt is covered with paint how can i fix this please help

[HeadThrasher13]

how do i change the speed on my rotor

[kx85kid12]

My eyes are working on my dm10 and i just swapped detents and the o ring on the bolt i just swapped that thats what dye said and they said it shouldnt be chopping so i have to wait to go to the field for some air and paint and see what happens.. i miss my ion lol never broke a ball or chopped...

[kx85kid12]

I never broke or chopped a ball with my ion... i just recently got a dye dm10.. and i chopped or broke like 6 balls on 2 pods so far.. not to happy..

[coolmitchg]

@kx85kid12 sounds like your gun fails

[kx85kid12]

@coolmitchg there has to be a reason idk if its the dwell or not but i dont want to mess with it

lol

[bomanio1]

my friend got a brass eagle yea i know they are kinda shitty but he needs bto load after every shot even thougt its a semi aouto and it sounds brrrrrr when hes shooting i got the same problem whit my spyder electra 05 but i only changed the velosity and it worked perfect but it didnt work on hes brass eagle. do you know what to do ?

[jonvecchio]

Great vid dude! very informational!

[originalshadow93]

How do you drop the bps on the dye rotor?

[jordardadar1]

@originalshadow93 you cant

[SoREALDanceCrew]

I love ads

[viper782]

wat bout a rotor



[BOOMSPAS12]

Is that the case with the rotor to?

[zZ1daniel1Zz]

when u first said ball stack i thought u said ballsack haha

[pntballryn7]

what kind of paint is that?

[sk8andbake]

@massacreman69 bro chill he read it wrong it sats pbnation sucks lol

[nathan86792]

WHAT KIND of gun is that and how much plz reply

[DrkxNinja]

@nathan86792 Rendition Alias

dunno how much =P

[xXNationsNightmareXx]

mike has his balls on the cutting bored watch closely...

[loku1125]

@xXNationsNightmareXx learn how to spell dumbass

[ARasavong]

Cyclone feeders help out with ACT to lessen the chance of chopping

[bucthoui]

Wow people are soo immature...... make sure your loader speed is high.... that makes no sense

[D4RkxGAMING]

make sure your loader speed is to high ha ha 3:24

[picture745]

omfg! look at the sticker on his loader! it says "pbnation sucka!" traitor!!

[massacreman69]

@picture745 you sir...are a TRUE dumbass...you dont know ANYTHING about paintball..he works for TECHPB his ENEMIE is PBNATION...

[snoopydawg23]

hey the loader you have is the empire viewloader right? its the sound activated one. im having sum problems with mine it deosnt load into the gun is it because the paint jams the drive? or its not working properley?

[drewsky1996]

i have an alpha black....and i recently bought an e trigger for it...but every time i shoot even when the settings on semi it still shoots 3 round burst....why is this?

[MrChrisThomps]

I have a marker w/ eyes and i shoot slower than alot of people do i have a lower chance of chopping?

[FinTume]

@MrChrisThomps Um,not really. Your loader feeds as much balls into the neck/breach.

[Mikenopolis]

@paintballtechpb Thanks for the info, I think it's my paintballs that are causing my barrel breaks then, i saw paint residues in the bag, so some balls were wet, didn't think it was gonna be a problem, 10-12 balls later it was spraying out of my barrel! Stupid field paint!

[Ropedogg93]

whats a timmy!?!?

[Mikenopolis]

@Ropedogg93 Timmy, short for the Bob Long Intimidator gun/marker

[mitchelldpb]

he sead at 3:28 make shure your loader speed is to high lmao

[mispho4]

my sft shocker shots 2 balls

[ChEEsEmc]

Don't u just hate when your balls are chopped, i always chop ma balls.

[Abstriku]

Mike is completely 100% right on this one. but if you want to get into deeper detail, or you still have questions, before bothering him, check hustlepaintball's channel's vid out on the same subject (i tried posting a link but it wasn't working)

[minus6700]

ya but what about a dye rotor doesnt that have like a 50bps feed rate

[Abstriku]

@minus6700 yeah, im getting one. it has 50bps. but its designed not to cause ball chops because it only turns on on the first shot. and the second its told to stop by the tension of the loaded ball, it stops. so technetly its impossible for it to double load or partial load a ball UNLESS you are on full auto and the dye rotor mal-functions. Not saying its impossible, but its unlikely.

[minus6700]

@Abstriku thx

[brickwallben]

hey mike i have a /98c/ should i get a /halo Too/ and what happens if i put it on 3bps will this make my gun chop because its only single shot.

[chasefilming]

fuck you mike! i unbanned myself from forums!!! HAHAHAHA STATIC IP CHANGE! NEW ACCOUNT!!! HAHAHA

[kattarnabot]

isn't another reason for chopping (at least on a gun without eyes) that the loader sin't fast enough?

[Abstriku]

@kattarnabot yes if your loader is to slow, then the bolt comes forward to fast and "chops" the partially loaded ball

[TheNzpaintball]

lol 9:21 hehe there is no 9:21

[mattheiken2929]

HAHA ITS FUNNY HOW HE SAYS THE BALL STACK...........IT SOUNDS LIKE BALL SACK AT 3:23

[eggwhite6]

the way he says balls lol

[plasm800]

what is the exact name of that hopper cuz i have the same one and cant remember the exact type.... thanks.

[PbRedEye]

@plasm800 empire reloader b

[christower50]

@plasm800 I believe its either empire reloader b or a halo

[allforpaintball16]

ANOTHER IMPORTANT POINT ABOUT BALL CHOP!!

It can also be caused if your loader neck is to long, or not flush with the feedneck.

The best way to fix this is by sanding the loader neck down small amounts at a time and checking the fit on your gun. This is common if you have a halo style hopper and especially if you have funky shell on it.

Hope this helps

[pigcrap101]

How much money does he get for this?

[ScorpionSrokk]

@pigcrap101 none

[strgandolf]

yo anyone help? i bought an infinity legend it got alot of barrel breaks i bought a new barrel and clean my gun and im still getting barrel break... i replaced my detents i went over my gun like 3 times cleaning it..... i have a invert knight stick which i believe is a .693 bore.... thanks

[MrCrime97]

HEY I NEED HELP I HAVE A TIPPMANN 98 AND THE BARREL HAS A VERY LITTLE AMOUNT OF SCRATCHES IN SIDE OF IT .DOES THAT COUSE BARREL BREAKS..?

check out my videos

[BradD1227]

@MrCrime97 depends on severity of scratches. They will cause funky spins on the ball though

[MrCrime97]

@BradD1227 oh ok noticed it has too litlle so its not breaking... thak you anyways!!!

[hommierich]

i have a dp fusion f7 and i have problems with the asa all the time it is lubed and everything can u help?

[VoidBolts]

@hommierich dont ask anyone that is why he told you to email him

[tina6581]

I have a T9 with Qloader and it would probably chop marbles when it is set up wrong lol. It took weeks to work it all out. Had good fun doing it thought.

[yomamaallupinthis]

my gun chops when the battery is low so always try replacing the battery to

[grandtheftaaron]

I'm with Eliwood I don't know how to change my halo b:( I just put the v35 chip and a rip drive in it plz help

[eliwood5837]

wait how do i change my loader speed? i have a halo B

[eliwood5837]

wait how do u change the loader speed??

[BrYaNtObEaSt]

ive never choped or broke paint out of my ion but i was not thinking and i could of got the slg for like 20 or 30 dollers more and have all the parts i would have to buy for my ion, i am mad at my self:(

[aRAUSEr7]

ive only chopped once then.

[simengrs]

so how do you know if its barrel breaking or just chopping?

[94deathlock]

hay i need your help, it was a week or 3 weeks ago i was shoting my brass eagle gun at my tree like crazy then the tirger was going like crazy and shoting on its own then it makes brap sound and it just wast my air.

[PAINToANDoBALLS]

@94deathlock your air is just out

[LoLBaNaNeRS]

i have an invert mini and an empire magna hopper, i am breaking paint,i dont know if they are chops or barrel breaks, i bought a cheap case of spectrum so i dont know if its the paint, i have shot one other case and i didnt chop those.

[0TROPICAL0]

@LoLBaNaNeRS

dude just got my proto its a beuty but u must service the gun , i have way to many barrel breaks and chops!

[13dogman13]

@LoLBaNaNeRS do u have your loader on max speed?

[Deville360]

do barrels over 16 inchs have problems with barrel breaks?

[DailyLifeMedia]

ironic talking about chopping with a chopping board underneath you

[MiNiGR3G]

man i really lovee you in a none gay homo sexual way.

[madbassist94]

lol, is that a cutting board?

great vid though this realy helpeed me becaue i realized i wasnt chopping but just getting barell breaks

[ChinchillaSniper]

yeah i had a barrel break on my tippmann because the ball blocking part was not there thus causing 10 ball in my barrel causing a mass of paint dripping out

[JohnnyST21]

i am having problem with my PMR aka Proto Matrix Rail with a empire speed hopper..the paintballs are breaking in my barrel and my hopper what do i have to do?

[JohnnyST21]

can some one please help with this.. i have PMR and i was shooting it and the paintball were breaking in my barrel and my hopper ( i have a empire speed hopper) are my eyes on my gun not working the volicity on the gun or what please comment back

[spartan8345]

aaaaah ok thats why i started chopping paint loader was on too high thanks :)

[mccomas13]

I am having alot of trouble with chopping of my paintballs. I have a spyder electra 09 with a halo too hopper, and i am turning my paint into soup. I have turned down the settings on my halo too to 1 and i am still having problems. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be a big help. also, i have heard that the halo too eats up batteries. could low batteries cause it to chop??

[Rudetube69]

sell your spyder and get a gun with eyes

[BenJaming95]

@mccomas13 its probably your spyder's bolt cause i have a hloe too and keep it on 4 with an ion XE and i never chop so it probably isnt your hopper.

[mastergx1]

great vid, thanks for posting

[33gavinbc]

dude thanx you helped me tremendisly

[9TayldFox]

Awesome video. I learned a lot! Thanks.

[thoraxe39]

i have an old metal barrel and there were little burs on the inside. i used some emery cloth and smoothed it out best i could, does anybody know if thats fine to do?

[kap10kurk]

3:27 make sure your loader speed it to high

[GoPaintman]

are the vibe detents very prone to having a ball pass through them or should I get beoranged detents?

[klowdd123]

Lol your paintball gun looks like something off power rangers xD

[mfauz96]

any ideas?

[xxRAMMSTEINxFANxx]

@mfauz96 are you gravity feeding?

[mfauz96]

i had a crazy day i dont know what happend i was in the middle of a game i looked at my gun because it was spitting out paint there was paint oozzing out of my feed neck so i said not good got out of the game then went to pull my gun apart paint everywhere i cleaned it up took out the ball detents cleaned then used my spare barrel and cleaned the bolt completely put lube everything i could think of then went to the game and first shot i took paint everywhere also there was paint inside da loader

[Rocker8824]

detents are little rubber nipple type things inside your barrel holding your paintball lightly before you r ready to fire then your bolt pushs it past your detents. eyes are what see the the other eye when the connetion is broken they realize there is a ball in there and allow you to fire. you can turn your eyes off if wanted but if you them on it will basically tell you when you run out of ammo. hope i helped =)

[LockONPaintball]

My proto slg's breaking balls. Any tips?

[chubby1josh]

@LockONPaintball I got a Slg, took it out today and it was breaking balls like madness. Im not sure what it could be but this video's given me some ideas, im taking it back to the shop and if i get a answer ill mail it to you

[LockONPaintball]

@chubby1josh Thanks!

[GoPaintman]

@chubby1josh It is probbably the bolt. I know many people who have defective bolts that dislodge themselves and jam causing it to chop or cause too much pressure on the ball or it could be the stock barrel which is very paint picky. To see if it is the barrel just drop a paintball through the barrel to see if it gets stuck or it goes through without a problem. This technique does not work always though.

[FifteenElbows]

@chubby1josh Did you ever figure out the culprit for your slg breaking paint? Mines doin the same thing..

[snakeeyes156]

i have that cutting board! lol

[TouchThatIpod]

im getting an ion (smartparts) i think they are good in every category

[MH721]

nope

[MrHahn576]

can some one explain d tents and eyes to me?

and mike you need to make a video where you explain the ananatomy of a marker for the beginners

[slyrez]

detents are little stubs in your gun that hold the ball in the chamber and prevent it from rolling our of the gun. eyes are things that detect if theres a ball in the chamber. once theres a ball in the chamber the connection between the eyes will lose and your gun will shoot

[jaceaerojock]

@MrHahn576 Detents are a little piece of plastic that hold the ball and prevent it from rolling down the barrel. If you don't have a detent. you get more than one ball down the barrel. The eye is some electronic piece that determines if a ball is in place right in front of the bolt to be shot. Look at your gun manual for anatomy.

[Sho0terz]

What if ur gun goes faster then ur loader im wondering cuz im gunna get a Dp g3 and get a Halo B V35 and the v35 can go 23+ bps can i still go faster then that? cuz the g3 is 25 bps max

[SASScout]

dude, i really doubt you are going to shoot over 25 bps you might not even be able to shot over 13-15, it shouldnt be a problem

[euflor]

can you put eyes on a spyder e99 ?

[paintballrage15]

my eyes dont work helpppp

[13dogman13]

have u tried cleaning them

[FreeStyleCrew808]

love the gun

[prooney526]

god i want that timmy lol..

[extremepball]

@prooney526 whenever i see someone with a bob long and i saw: TIMMY. like in south park

[acdc133]

3:17 XD

[areodynamic1]

@acdc133 3:00 is funnier...ballstack :X

[Moaks13]

i got a rotor and there r no setting adjustments

[blueskater06]

ya there is look at the manual or just tell me what kinda rotor you have

[Ryanardo2]

You can change it. but i wouldnt worry about it with the rotor

[spiceyvideo]

Great lesson for those who didn't know. I thought it was funny how your hands went on and off screen when you enphasized what you were saying though. xD But you helped us all in the end.

[iamaflyingsquirrel]

balls are very brittle haha

[pearlsea]

Do you recommend over boreing when using a pump autococker? Balls will roll out of the gun.

[funnyhatofdoom]

ball stack lol

[actheman123]

i mean ofence*

[actheman123]

no affence but why did u put an under armour sticker on ur loader

[mattallday10]

barrel breaks all the time

[NsRGRAW]

do you guys know how to change the settings of the halo b hopper with the regular board... THANks

[paintballkid133]

my gun dosent have any problems :P

[CenCalP8ntballer805]

hay mike im trying to figure out why my gun keeps barrel breaking. I have an 09 ego i cleaned the eyes i replaced my detents i have a stock s3 barrel back bore .693 and still cant figure out why im breaking. If you can get back to me let me know what you think id really appreciate it.

[NHnasty0105]

i had a ball split in half and i stil came out as a regular paint and split in half in mid air

[pimpman2369]

how the hell did you see the ball break in mid air?

[rampagedpaintballer]

my problem of my gun chopping is that my loader is too slow.

[austinftwXD]

if youre new to paintbal get an egg 3 if youve played for a while get a rotor

[rampagedpaintballer]

im getting an empire reloader b

[HaLoKiLLa95]

get an invert too not a reloader b
