He asked for help not 2 be flamed. What most people whould reccomend is to buy a new barrel, if you have the right paint to barrel match then it will stop some chopping. Thats what I would do, just buy a barrel and get better. Then buy a new gun.
You got a revvy? Nice barrel. New bolt, but for your gun I wouldn't go anywhere past just a barrel. It has autococker/spyder threads. S.P.- teardrop barrel is nice. Pretty cheap, but still accurate.
autococker and spyder threads aren't the same. He needs a spyder threaded barrel. Please don't give out advice if you don't know what your talking about. I'm not trying to be rude, but seriousely, educate yourself.

Like everyone who is trying to help you has said.
Change the lousy cheap ball detent to a bearing one
Get a good barrel, no more than 14"
get good paint and make sure the paint size matches your barrel
For barrels there are many good companies out there....in the price range of $30..... Teardrop, Progressive, JJ Ceramic, Dye xcel.... ect.....
some VL guns can take top cocking spyder bolts get a ACB and see if you get it to fit in and use that. Make sure though youy have an eletric loader. IT helps alot...
Electronic hopper and aftermarket barrel I'd try that, at least then u could use them on another gun if this doesn't help. Make sure you have good paint also

Bad thing to buy one BRASS EAGLE at allll!!!those such. seriously save up for a better gun but just dont get anything from walmart . is this your first tyme paintballing?
Okay, first off, to most of the people who replied, don't come into this forum just to tell people they are stupid and shouldn't have bought a Brass Eagle/VL marker. They are not the best, but these markers are what get alot of people into the sport.
Secondly, your chopping is most likely because of bad quality paint. Try some of the higher quality stuff, and check your paint to barrel match with a blowgun test. Also, a Revvy/Empire II would be a good investment to make, the chopping might also be because of you outshooting your gravity feed hopper. Barrels have already been listed, so I'll skip that.
A blowgun test, is when you take a handful of paint from the bag, so you have a random sample of about 10-15 balls, and you do the following:
1. Stick a paintball in the back of your barrel.
2. If it rolls through, the paint is too small. Try another ball.
2. If it stops about 1" or so in, put your hand at the top of the barrel, your mouth around the back.
3. Blow into it with about the force you would blow a mosquito off your arm.
4. If the paint shoots out into your hand, it's the right size. Repeat the test with another ball.
4. If the paint is still in their, bust out a stick squeegee and get it out, the paint is too big.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 with all the other paintballs.
