That is a paint based marker round, not powder based, so all the paint went into his gun, messing up the circuit. His gun started to fire uncontrollably. Although he removed the magazine before, his gun still get very bad - the moter was burnt, all the gears were terribly wore.

6mm paintballs are not for use in airsoft guns that have hop up they can and will break in your gun and make a horrid mess of things.
As for these dusty bbs i can say from experiance. They are bad for your hop up and inner barrel. Not right off the bat but 500 plus rounds and youll have issues how do i know?
Because the str8. .36's i use in my bolt action are coated in some kind of powder ludlbe (teflon or some crap) to increase the size and weight. They are awesome bbs they fly as good or better then the bastard ones (sry scarecrow and i have returned to useing bastards ) but they leave an oily gunky residue kind of like bios do. After every other game if i dont clean my hop and barrel i have no consistancy or accuracy in my bolt action. Range drops from 300ft plus to 100ft and totally makes sniping unviable.
Any bb that leaves a residue behind isnt good for your gun. Yes they will work but over time your performance will suffer. If folks aint callin hits shoot em someplace thatll make em squeal (neck back of hand tight spot on the pans in the goggles if they are wearing face pro) or just swap to auto and light em up. If it prosists get one of your team mates to witness it and see the host im sure itll get sorted out.
At the OP i see how this could seem like a good idea but you seen some dust after a few mags in a pistol imagine after a dozen or more mags after a skirmish as the day wore on your hop up would become less effective and barrel would become uneaven as well. Not such a big deal in an aeg when you can put a bunch of rounds down range but in a bolt action especially when every shot counts itbwould ruin yer day prety fast (obviously it would likely be after a few games befor the symptoms got bad)
Thanks for the review it was informative and has shown us from you small thest that what we suspected is tru they will leave residue and residue is bad mmmk.
