My dm12 is breaking a rediculous amount of paint (almost every shot with a hopper full of marbs) is there any setting i can change to fix this?

thats odd.., are you using stock settings? Id also reccomend to try a different bath or different type of ball, dms are really soft on paint, I mean i've shot paint that i drop mid waist and it breaks, I've had paint where you can blow it and it breaks.. that brittle..


is the rubber tip still on the end of your bolt? sometimes they come unglued and pop out.

my suggestion is to rebolt your bolt, make sure your chrono'd at 280ish

does it feel like it's shooting hard when you dry fire it? or when you chrono it does it spike in volcity? if so your reg needs to rebuilt/relubed


zero out both your LPR

try 21 dwell 3 1/2 turns on the LPR, and my advice would be to learn up on how to tune your own gun cause each gun will shoot differently, there is tons of info on here, also some youtube videos by mike from ******.

are they chops or barrel brakes???

really odd as my dm rarely brakes paint, only if the paint is really bad...

very good question forgot to ask


A chop is when its inside the gun by the bolt, well a barrel break is a barrel break

Is the gun new or old? Battery? Pressures? Settings? Need more info.


If it is older check the eye pipe, I've seen cracked eye pipes break paint..

hopper settings?

I've never broken a ball with my dm (weird but true).

Either you have some protrusion in the breach thats literally cutting the paint, something in your barrel, or you're shooting way over 300 fps.

DM's are one of the softest guns on paint. Are you sure you aren't chopping? Maybe your eyes are off or the eyes are broken / problem with your electronics / board?

Even if your DM is tuned completely out of wack you'd still be hard pressed to break paint.


EDIT: Do you have a nice paint to barrel match? If you're trying to shoot a paintball the size of a water mellon through a barrel the size of a straw you are going to have problems (exageration but still, huge factor)

Change your eye pipe or detents. Try it before calling me crazy. Specially if it double feeds
