Summary: Learn the definition of a chopped ball and what to do if you have a chopped ball during outdoor field games in this how-to video on the extreme sport of paintball.
"Hi! This is John. Now, let’s talk about something that can happen from time to time. It’s called a chopped ball. What happens is this, you’re shooting so fast, that one ball happens to wind up half way in the chamber, and the gas coming behind it actually takes and severs that ball in half. You wound up with the ball here in your barrel that’s half way in there, and it basically clogs up your gun. What you need to do is unscrew your barrel and take your squeegee, insert that into the barrel and squeegee that out. If you’ll notice, the barrel is clean now. "

on 8/2/2008 first, its a straight shot squeegie, which means there is no need to take off the barrel to squeegie it clean. also, since there is no paint in the barrel right now to begin with, of course it will be super clean in the end.
