How much can your paint affect your marker?

I have read threads about getting the right paint. Making sure it is not too big or small for your barrel...But will it cause feed problems also?

Reason I ask, is because I have had some 'bugs' with my new Alpha Black Elite rig...And when I checked my paint... Well they fell right through my barrel! I could see daylight around the balls in the barrel! Could this cause some of my feed problems as well?

No more cheap A$$ paint for this boy! And I am taking my barrel with me next time I go to buy some...

Would need more info on the rest of your setup. What kind of hopper, are you using the stock barrel?

Also, check the Detent. If that's gone, that would cause the paint to fall out of the barrel. Open up the bolt and take the hopper arm off, and if there's not a tiny orange tab, it's gone.

Sorry guys, I should have referenced my original post, then you would have known what I was talking about...

Stock barrel, Cyclone, and low-profile hopper. And yes the detent is there! lol I took the barrel off to check my paint... and the paintballs are way too small!
