Dye has probably found the best and most well thought-out solution with their "Dye Eye pipe System", which they use in all their paintball guns.
The advantage of this system is that not only do the ball stoppers prevent the loaded paintball from rolling forward, but the pipe (transparent plastic sleeve) also protects the breakbeam eyes from dirt and broken paint.
The only disadvantage is that the Dye Eye Pipe also wears out over time and is therefore considered a consumable part.
If the pipe has cracks, breaks or even a few corners are missing, it should be replaced for maximum and problem-free firepower .
This rotating eye pipe is necessary for the Dye DAM due to the switching between hopper and magazine feed!
