paint prob with eblade.

[alan phoenix]

ok, got myself a new eblade, (e orracle with full nexus upgrade ) when i point it towards the floor the paint rolls out of the barrel, can i alter the ball detent or does it mean getting a smaller bore barrel.
looking in the book under the problem it just says use different barrel :( .
otherwise it is fine. (even i can fire fast with it.)

Yes mine does that as well and I have the smallest bore I can find because I use Blaze and that's quite small. Saying that though i've never broken a ball in it except when it's gone off with the sock on or the hopper was nearly empty and there was no stack and the eye was off. I just live with the rolling thing and after cronoing I just let the one in the breach fall out before re socking.

Why not treat yourself to a freak kit! same barrel diffrent size inserts will stop the paint from rolling out :D

Because of the way the cocker works it is always going to push a ball into the barrel. If you look at it logically with the barrel off you will see it pushes paint PAST the detent :)

Its just one of those things with them, you get used to it after a while. :)

Yup, it's because it's a closed bolt marker. Open bolt markers (like the impy etc) don't have this problem, though they can have double feeding problems with halos/eggs and weak detents.

Easy way to stop your paint rolling out your barrel, keep your marker up and pointing towards the opponents, unless it's me of course. :D Paint to barrel matching helps, I use a freak or Empire system, depending on what paint, no roll out with either.
