T8.1 & Marballizers

Gunz · 11-17-2012, 05:48 PM

So I went to play today and decided to buy a nice box of my favorite paint; Marballizers. I loaded all of my mags and went to work. I had a player in my sights and shot a string of 3 balls, but the first two exploded in the barrel, while the third went flying crazy. I kept shooting and was making a mess inside of my gun and of every mag. After that game I went back to the staging area and cleaned everything up. After a few unsuccessful attempts, I decided to change the paint. I went with RPS Premium and didn’t have a single ball break the rest of the day. I thought I would share this with everyone. The gun was out of the box, set at 280 fps, using a remote with a small Co2 tank.

Has anyone else had issues with a certain paint? I always use Marbs but this gun didn't like it at all.

Could be a bad batch of marballizers . I bought a case a couple of months ago and i had tge same issues. Plus they were leaking in the bags.

Had the exact same issue as well. First time I had a break in my T8.1 that didn't involve me putting my magazine in incorrectly when I first got it.

i've had an issue with marbs too, but only in my T8.1, my T8s use them fine

It seams like Marbs might be the issue, the batch looks fine. The balls looked a little oily but otherwise normal. Without the bolt having a soft face, I guess it's rougher on paint than other guns. I guess I'll stick to lesser quality paint.

Same issue here. I'd love to hear what everyone else shoots (RPS Premium already noted). I haven't played with my T9 in well over a year because I couldn't get it to stop breaking. If Marbs was the problem, maybe Ill have to revisit the T9.

I personally have not had issues with marbs the few times I've used them (mostly use allstars or evil) but i have heard others that were not so fortunate.
