What ever happened to the "Jam Bolt" or mechanical anti-chop go?
I've been a big fan of the L10 bolt and now the Tippmann ACT. Both are great systems and do the job well. But if I had to choose between the 2 I would have to go with the ACT. What are your thoughts?

I heard the ACT had lots of issues. Did Tippmann address those?

My 98 Custom performs flawless.

I've never had anything but problems with the ACT, and I get just as many chops with it as without it. The Jam bolt & Spyder bolts work OK. LX was the best mech solution I've used. Over all I must say I definatly prefer a good set of eyes.

whats in the "magizine"?
Armor piercing .50 cals.....It actually covers the foregrip and hose going to the valve assy....

Gotta go with break beam my self. It's just a head ache when they get dirty. Having both a mechanical sys and eye combo has its advantages....

I heard that when they first debuted. Do you know if Tippmann ever addressed the issue(from my understanding it was a manufacturing process issue).

I was worried about chops on my mech autococker...but then I got the best anti-chop device I could get my hands on.
a halo loader.
kinda hard to chop balls when the loader is much faster than I can con the marker into cycling.
