Ok, i've been wondering this for a long time.. how fast can the cyclone actually go, does it end at 15 bps, and if so can i modify it to make it go faster.

I've hard that after you get much higher than 15, the balls will bounce off the rapidly spinning "blades" and will start chopping.

Jovian had a thread in Ideas a while back discussing the "Cyclone v2" with his ideas for improvement.

That's both of them right there, they're SUPER inaccurate, but there. They're pretty fun when you're bored though...

I still say slap a QEV on there and it will run faster.

The major limitation of the cyclone is the fact that it is spring return. At rapid fire so much air will be getting fed into the cylinder that it cant exhaust fast enough to spring return (the stars turn on the cylinder retracting, not extending)

I still like the Warp feed system idea I had on an A-5 by ditching the cyclone all together. Im sure someone else thought of it too and Im not taking credit.

that seems like such an easy fix Tippman could just engineer it the other way, or a company could make a kit or something
