SLG 09 Chopping Paint

[KevTheLeg]

I recently purchased the SLG 09 brand new and it seems to be chopping 2 out of 20 paintballs, I have checked the eyes and thoroughly cleaned the gun a number of times now but it is still the same, is this normal? I'm totaly new to the paintball scene and this is my first marker so I don't know what to do.

If you can help it would be much appreciated!

Is it chopping in the breech or it it breaking paint in the barrel.

Have you tried a new battery,a proper new battery not one out of the smoke alarm.

what hopper are you using ?

Also what paint are you using? is it old? has it been stored correctly?

Hi Kev,

Generally in any gun if the eyes are working then the only thing that could cause it to affect paint breakages is a lack of a ball dent or one that has worn down too much. This will call 'double balling' which often ends messy.

Have you chrono'd the gun under 300fps?

Try looking at paint/barrel match - does the paint fit? Qualty of the paint? Is it very fragile?

Best regards,

Tommy

I am using an Extreme Rage Overdrive Sonic hopper, the battery is definately full, i have bought proto tournament paintballs as i thought this was the problem to begin with, also the gun is chrono'd to 280 fps and it is still doing it

thanks for the feedback guys

Hi Kev,

The paint shouldn't be the problem, although the paint/barrel match could be out?
Have you checked the dentents?

About a year ago a friend had the same problem his pulse was forcing too many balls past the detents and it was just a mess how fast is your loader feeding and like tommy says check the detents

That hopper will not keep up if you can pull more than 10 balls a second.

try using a decent force feed loader and your problems will more than likely disappear.

Didnt see what hopper he was using well your probably having the opposite effect with your loader. The man speaks the truth
