Help! Yesterday during the predator big game I could'nt get my etek to stop breaking paint. I took everything apart and cleaned it numerous times along with returning the gun to its factory settings (up'd Dwell & Ball Detection Time). I also replaced the batteries in the gun, to no avail. I have never had this problem before and am quite frustrated, in reading the P.E. Website they mention the detents needing to be changed when you switch ball sizes. They also mentioned that it could be the hopper batteries. I am using a invert halo 2, I have only used it 1 other time. I think that the hopper is the culpret of my problems, I noticed everytime I had a break, the hopper would be full of paint; However, I would have paintballs actually stuck in the barrel. I have tried to include a list of all the problems, so I apoligize for any confusion. Any help would be greatly appreciated

What paint were you using and what inserts if any were you using? |

| I was using factory detents. I used weapons grade from warped and some wal-mart paint, I have used both before without any breaks. |

so you mentioned paintballs getting stuck in your barrel?
try just dropping one ball into the breach at a time with no hopper and looking at it..see what happens to it..this helped me with my slg and ion so tell me what happens.

| Hmmm, maybe your detents weren't holding your paint back and you were getting double-feeds. That would cause barrel breaks as well as chops. Try setting the Halo to a lower force setting if you can. |
