Ball Bustin', Where do you break your balls? Options

[Matt]

Hey all,
Just doing a bit of research for some product development, and was wondering what seems to be the most common form of breaking balls at the moment? Hoppers seem to be faster now and keep up with guns, meaning less chops, but the force feed seems to make hopper breaks more common. Is this true or are there other problems now?


Was wondering if you could give some advice (and clarify with maybe a post about the gat u use and the problems) to help try and identify some common themes?

I run an Angel LCD Dark Angel with Intellifed Revvy, almost always with the freak barrel setup with the teardrop front. I have been using it for years and have never had a hopper burst, very seldom (like once or twice) had a breech burst and rarely have a barrel burst. When I do have a barrel burst I tend not to have to clean my barrel too much, so there is minimal paint in there, which would lead me to believe the ball breaks on its way out, so its more the paint than anything.
