Marblizer or X-Ball Gold left a square-foot of fluorescent goo on impact and that's a big plus playing stock class against people shooting full-auto.

Strange.
Mongo reports increased efficiency netting 3-5 extra shots off a 12-gram with a valve insert:

Mike C and I have discussed, and both agree that many issues are paint related, and not the marker in and of itself.
Not a big change but the insert will at least keep the first few shots from dumping liquid CO2 directly into the powertube on the first few shots.

I'll get serious about efficiency testing once I have a "version 2.0" insert with larger channels.
