Where would you get them for free?

my job at a local pro shop.

Well, the question is not how fast it feeds, the question is how reliable it feeds.

The Cyclone will feed up to 17 (17.4) bps. Tourneys are capped at 15 bps. Using Eggy's and Revvy's, there are still chops at higher rates of fire. The cyclone does not chop, simply because it cannot chop. If it doesn't turn fast enough, there will not be a ball in the breach to be shot or chopped. Breaks encountered with the A-5 come from bad paint (breaking when the front bolt smacks it forward) or mis-sized paint (squeezing paint that is too big into a smaller bore barrel) or hitting the trigger with the barrel plug in (no comment ).

Halo's are pretty reliable, but I still see paintball mags with 'cockers and DM's with busted paint all over the inside of the barrel, being fed with a Halo.

Q Loaders are very reliable, as there is a very constant pressure on the ball in the breach. However, reloading is lengthier and throwing a $25 pod kinda hurts. Plus, it only holds 100 rounds and creates a large target closer to the front of the gun.

The Cyclone can be upgraded with the R-5 to improve the shape. However, the R-5 has a problem with the shell. In hot weather, if a ball hits the R-5 on the shell it will cause the plastic to break. Usually the threaded plastic for the screws will twist off when taking it apart after receiving damage.

I'd stick with the cyclone, thats just my preference. I'd rather not have to clean my barrel after every target.

As the owner of an A5RT and M98C w/Ricochet AK, I will definitely be looking to get one of these for my M98C!

Dudes, from what I hear, they are makin it with the quick-release elbow....it is gonna be even sicker than the A5's Cyclone.

If it really is only gonna be about $60 that is an absolute steal.
