Default Fires 3 balls per one shot

now before I continue, it's not on 3 round burst, so don't say it is. I recently cut my barrel and cleaned it up. I play a forward position and a huge barrell really gets in the way. Anyways I was shooting my gun with some of my friends paint and it shots 3 balls at once now. Is it because it's cheap paint or what? Has this happened to anyone else before?

Could be cheap paint but the detents could be bad.

Could be the detent but I'm thinking the marker is bouncing as well. Those new switches have a tendency to bounce very easily, especially if you have the trigger adjusted very tight to the switch lever.

Intimidator detents are what you want. AVi probably has em.

Sorry, but I need a little clarification before I can give you an answer.

Does the marker shoot 3 balls in succession, or do three balls fly out of the barrel all at once?

If it shoots three balls and you hear three bangs, then it is probably trigger bounce.

If it shoots three balls and you only hear one bang then it is probably a faulty detent.

Ok so we know its not trigger bounce.

Here is a starting point for better detents
