One of the best ways to stop breaks is underboring this way the paint cannot bounce around.

are you sure i always heard that underboring causes more breaks because it squeezes the paintballs. Overboring is easier on paint, has the same accuracy, and is quieter. Its only disadvantage is efficiency and i believe consistency but the latter may just depend on paint.

Ok first thing may be a bit off topic but I have to say it. Over boring is less consistent than under boring which means it is less accurate. The boys at punks works have spent a TON of time testing that and in EVERY case under boring was show to be more accurate / consistent.

Back on topic, If there is something wrong with your barrel, lick a small nick on the inside, it could fracture the shell and break paint. If the paint was cold or brittle, and the non rental gun runs at a higher operating pressure, it could be a bit rougher on the paint and possibly break the shell in the loading process. I have seen some barrels that were slightly bent break paint like a blender.

Is the paint breaking at the center of the barrel or closer to the threads?

im not sure, but i believe its the center

Something is fracturing the paint before its being shot. Check for abnormalities on anything, have you dropped your barrel by chance and dented it? That would be enough to cause breaks. I dropped a barrel one time and dented the threaded end, it would break every ball after that and had to be trashed. Also it very well could be the paint, and spyders are hard on paint. We're you using like marbs in your gun? If it was too brittle the bolt could fracturing them becUsof the spring tension.
