1) this gun sucks dude, i doubt its more accurate then an a-5
2) Get a new gun like a spyder if you dont have alot of money for a new gun...if u dont have any money then go mow some peoples lawns and save up or something
3) VL lancer is a gheeey gun as well, so tell your friend to go mow some lawns also
4) Blue loctite sucks, use red like kaz said, the slightest vibrations will break the hold off of the blue loctite
5)Big ball is actually good paint for the $

but i recommend you get a better co2 tank like a pure energy
