Custom board and 30bps

I saw in a another topic a custom board can make the A-5 do 30 bps whats a custom board and can the A-5 handle that the cyclone cant it can only do about 22 BPS. So would i have to take off the cyclone and put on on a HALO with RIP like the guy in pb2x magazine.

Ummm the cycloe can only handle 15 thats why the E-grip is capped at 15bps

Is that right?  Have you ever used an A-5 with a cyclone feed?  You do realize that I shoot much faster that all the stock E-grips around here?  The cyclone keeps up just fine until you get about 25bps.  Then for some reason it stops feeding.  I haven't figured out why yet.  The full auto mode on the E-grip just happens to be capped at 15.  The semi and other modes aren't capped at all.  Now I've been thr so many sears and rear bolts that I think the reason its capped at 15 is cause the internals aren't made to take that kind of abuse.

You dont need to shoot fast to keep up with those guys.  You really dont.  All you need to do is keep cool and aim.  If you want something faster than a E-grip, get a RT and them mod it.

A board is the chip that controls the sear actuator that fires the marker.

now if u programmed a e-grip to shoot 383643737bps thats great, but no matter how fast the e-grip can shoot, the gun can reach that limmit and neither can the feeder

Yeah, I need to just sticky the story at the top of of this forum lol.  Here is the short version.  I drove up to the paintball store.  The had many many many many markers there.  1500 Racegun Autocockers and such.  I tested them all out.  They were fast but need batteries.  So I asked the owner, "Is there a marker that can shoot as fast with out batteries or then need for a battery powered hopper?"  He showed me the A-5 I shot it loved the way it recoiled and kicked.  Especially the way it looks.  Bought it and all the modds they had for it at the time.  spent 1500 that day.  The proshop here sell everything at MSRP price.  I guess they need the money or something I dont know.  The only reason I still buy from the shop is cause I hate waiting next day for parts.  I'd spend the extra money any day to get my stuff today instead of next week.

I know the Cyclone cant keep up at 25.  Thats why I said the cyclone has problem at about 25 bps. 

i heard its only suppose to go to like 15 but u could probally get it higher...if i had air i would go test it out on my A-5 with r/t

ah thats chopping bud^^^^^^^ when your hopper cant keep up which in this case is 18 bps for the cylcone. Anways the bolt hits parts of the ball makeing it break then paint all goes in your internals and barrel.

Oh boy, the never ending debate of pbs again.....like what dtfastj stated earlier above...."Do you really need to shoot that fast?" 

And if you think about it, speedball tournys dont allow full auto modes on the player's markers, so whats the point of havin a marker shootin more than 15pbs and jus to let you know I read an article somewhere that a player suffered a concusion (hit 12 times to the head) from another player during a speedball match and that his marker was set on full auto.

And some of you more experience players know who Im talkin bout, the person who shot the guy 12 times was banned from the sport.

And the question still remains....Do you really need to shoot that fast? 

I know I dont need to shoot any higher than 15 bps, but just for fun, what if you bypass the trigger so that the sear never catches the rear bolt. I heard of some one doing it to their sl-68 2 but since it's a pump, the bps is controlled. In a 98c or A-5 the rear bolt should move back and forth on its own so it would be like an un capped full auto. How many bps would that make? And with the polished internals would the gun be able to take it?
