1.0 out of 5 stars Began falling apart after 20 mintues, December 27, 2009

I replaced my stock bolt with the psychoballistic star fire delrin bolt and it worked great for the first 2-3 games. Midway through my 4th game of the day I began chopping balls like crazy and little bits of black plastic started shooting out of my barrel. I immediately took apart my gun and found that the delrin bolt was starting to chip and pieces were shaving off of it due to the cold of using CO2 with a egrip at full auto.


I guess the product would work well if you don't shoot at a high BPS rate but it will freeze up easily and begins to break down if you get it too frosty.


All in all it is a piece of crap and psychoballistics should be slapped for making such a low quality product. What ever happened to good old fashion sturdy aluminum parts? Why is everything these days made of cheap plastic? If I wanted a plastic paintball marker I would buy one from Fisher Price.

I shaved off some around the outside and it stopped locking up. this may be something to look into to improve your product.

I put this bolt in my gun, and can't tell any difference at all in firing functionality, and ball control. I've switched out the Delrin with my stock bolt several times, and I haven't noticed any difference in the firing capabilities at all. It's not any more accurate, or efficient in my eyes. I've got an expansion chamber on my gun, and I've tried it with both stock barrels, and Flatlines, and can't seem to find a difference in firing with the Delrin Bolt. If you buy it cheap, then I guess it doesn't matter, but if you're looking for an upgrade that will change the effectiveness of your gun, then I'd find another upgrade...
