unfrickinbelievable! spent some time polishing up my barrel, found i have a couple burs in there 
but it seems to shoot just fine. also took the valve stem and inspected it... found lots of room for improvement, so i did that, ported drilled and filed it up, im getting some wicked power now man!!! im kinda excited! im getting about twice the penetration now, using 15 grain diabolo pellets made in czech republic... inaccurate as hell, since the head of the pellet is smaller than the skirt, and dont touch the rifling. im gonna try my very hardest to get some velocity testing for you guys tomorrow. i see some hunting stories coming up in the near future! this is gonna be fun 
hey i strongly suggest one of youze guys go buy one of these paintball guns if you feel up to a project. very forgiving platform. it a brass eagle talon. yeah. ive got plans for this one though. cant remember if i mentioned it or not, but im fancying the idea of mounting the entire action of the gun in a steel or brass tube and monting it in a wood stock. should be a lot nicer when its done!
later.

alright!! not quite what i was thinking, but still pretty good. took 18 consecutive shots, about 15 seconds in between. using the 15 grain diabolo cheapy pellets, and 15 feet from the muzzle.

then after that the co2 dumped itself... goofy hammer design empties the co2 when the pressure gets low. so i got 18 shots in total. not bad for a cheap $30 paintball gun
