After using my Diablo Slayer in two or three days of paintball now im concerned with the open bolt design and the areas and way i play. Its not uncommon for me to dive over a bunker into a tuck in roll or belly crall through bushes to advance unseen. I can see dirt getting in the bolt and down by the ram as the day progresses. Its minimal and i dont seem to have any firing issues on the feild but afterward when i go to strip down and clean the marker i can see the tiny marks it leaves inide the body. Especially on the bolt. Its all scratched up from sliding back and forth across sand and the inner body of the gun. Its bugging me but i want to be sure my brain isnt trying to use this as an excuse to buy a new marker with an enclosed bolt. Ive been salivating over a DM5 or DM6 or Minion or somethin.
I see so many high end markers with the open bolt design. I figure it cant be too big an issue. Im really hard on my marker though. Do you see the above problem really effecting the efficientcy of the marker, or i guess more importantly, effecting the life of the marker?
