So I went to make sure my gun was working properly after cleaning the bolt, and decided to put it up against my etek 4. The dye was using a .688 barrel back, and the etek a .684 barrel back. The etek shot perfect. Even at 75 yards, it was hitting exactly where it needed to be no breaks or anything. The dye on the other hand, was all over, it broke 6 balls as well, even after a good clean. I was shooting marbleizers that were about 6 months old, so yes it was old paint. But why was the etek shooting so much better than my dye?

[CptKaveman]

The balls matched the eteks barrel better? Did you check the bore size of the paint you were shooting? That's the first step. (Take barrel off, if paint rolls through its too large, if its stuck and requires more than say, a breath of air to get it moving, it's too small. ) you can get a real ball bore scale too but yeah w/e.
Btw I'm no expert and this is just my basic knowledge.

[SNmustang95]

Yes. The Eteks bore was spot on. The dye just rolled through.

Oh, well dang, that blows my theory of the paint being too big for that dm's barrel... Yeah idk then. Good luck

[SNmustang95]

Yeah I know.

Oh, did you mess around with the dwell or settings? And did you put in a new battery? If you think it could be the electronics and not a shite O ring you could try resetting the board to factory and trying again, since I doubt you are gonna go play with it until its fixed.
(But yeah put a new battery in first )

[SNmustang95]

Gun is a week old. I haven't messed with anything.

[BurningPlaydoh]

Compare them with good paint.

I'll try this. I used it this weekend with GI 2 star and it shot fine. I'm just confused on how the dye. Which is supposed to be soft on paint, was breaking and all over while the etek was flawless.

Are you sure they were chops and not barrel breaks?

[SNmustang95]

One was a for sure chop another might have been. The rest were barrel breaks.

[gibbeepbroxzor]

could have over lubed....

[SNmustang95]

Well I re lubed it then it acted as if I was running out of air. When I still had 2000 psi. So I re-lubed it and it shot great. this was at 50 feet

And this was at about 75-80 feet

This was also shot with gi 2 star. Fresh out of the box.

accuracy is only going to be affected by the cleanliness of your barrel and the quality of your paint. If you're chopping, you might have shit paint or your eyes are dirty.

[slinkyaroo]

I would use a good battery and not the one that came with the marker. Also what's the temperature. DMs need to be dwell adjusted for the cold.

It's time to chrony it. I'm not a lover of the hyper3 reg. although reg break in may be needed.

[SNmustang95]

How much does the dwell need adjusted?
