: Clean gun and mechanics all working properly. : Then Paint Quality has to be the problem. : Lets hope you have a BYOP field. If you are stuck with field paint only, you have to live with it. Complain.... Many field paint only fields will have different qualities / brands of paint available. You will pay through the nose for the good stuff. Complain.... : Be willing to pay a higher field fee for BYOP but be a good customer and let the business know what you want..... : Paintballs aren't round. They won't fly straight. Some are rounder than others. : Old stale paint gets very out of round. : Use your ball roundness guage. Comes with every stock marker made --- The barrel. : Take it off the marker and put a ball in it. Put the ball so the seam goes front to back. Hold it up to the light. See those little crescent moons of light on either side of the ball? That is what NOT ROUND looks like. Now remove the ball, turn it 90 degrees and re insert it with the seam touching the walls of the barrel. Hold it up to the light again. See the difference? The difference is why paint doesn't fly straight. The bigger the difference the worse it shoots. : Now do about 10 balls the same way. Notice the variation. If it is a lot, it will shoot all over the place. If those little cresent moons aren't so little, it will shoot all over the place. : Try that at the field with other players paint. SEE what looks roundest. Pay attention to what other players shoot. Buy 10 rounds and shoot it. : Or : Just buy a case of Diablo Inferno. It is the roundest paint I have shot out of a Spyder. Beads on a String.... Stock barrel, stock marker. Revy with Nitro. It breaks very well. : Two factors to be aware of. CO2 can run 1200 psi in the summer or higher. First few shots in a game on a hot summer's day. You may well be shooting hot past 300 fps and that pressure and velocity can break the Inferno in the barrel. We use a 900 psi preset Nitro so it is never a problem for us. If you notice that occuring you can at the start of the game, turn you marker upside down so you don't get a ball feed and dry fire 10-15 times. That will chill the tank a bit and drop that tank operating pressure. Should be OK rest of the game. : Inferno comes in sealed bags for a reason. The ball absorb moisture and start to swell and get out of round. So does the other brands that use twist ties.... If you open a bag, shoot it... : All paint gets stale on the shelf. Always get FRESH paint. Fresher the rounder. : E mail me and I'll tell you how to get Diablo paint that hasn't been in a box for a week.
