Its always cheaper to buy a whole used marker and resell the parts you dont want, than to buy just parts. Sometimes that takes patience or good timing in the paintball forums and Ebay.

Your chopping is probably your gravity fed loader not being able to keep up with your firing speed. If you can afford it, its always best to use a force fed loader.
I bought an Empire B when they first came out and still have yet to find a marker that will out shoot it.

oh okay thanks that could be why but doesn't the level 7 chop alot regardless of the hopper? But I will buy a new hopper soon.

If you have chopping issues the L10 will change your life. I can shoot a bit faster with my RT's than my classics, but the L10 is what makes all of them a superior marker.

Just make sure that it is actually chopping and not breaking paint on the face of the bolt.

okay. Yes the problem with my mag speed is probably bolt stick (the trigger is not bouncing back every 7-10 shots and i have to use my finger and push it forward from behind the trigger. And by the way could this be a problem with my frame (my frame is a carbon frame with the cut trigger guard and a double trigger and no safety)

How's your bolt spring looking? It might be old and worn out.

If your bolt is sticking you need to adjust the powertube spacer via a powertube spacer kit. You need a slightly longer or slightly shorter spacer.. i forgot which. Unless there is just a bunch of doo doo making it goofy.

L7 bolts dont chop unless you short stroke or something else is wrong. They chop like a tippmann or spyder does, which isnt much unless there was a misfeed of some kind.

But people short stroke mags and that is a likely culprit for chopping. If you cant help but short stroke occasionally, than the L10 will be worth every penny.

Yeah, I'll have to buy the level 10 and a spacer kit and probably an intelliframe. I can't help but shortstroke

Robertsr · 06-09-2008, 11:21 PM

If you get a L10 you won't need a spacer kit. It comes with it's own spacing system

ya my spring looks fine not too much wear that i can see atleast. And I'll probably be getting level 10
