Ditto.

The cyclone is appropratly named because it, like a real cyclone, sucks a lot. Not only does it like to mash paint, espically thin paint or when it's cold, but it also wears down inside and doesn't feed anymore.

Mine died once a month. So for me it was roughly every 5 cases.

Hehe....

That's my teammates Sam's, I did it too, but mine broke, and I just spent part of the morning fixing it, still needs to be painted though.

you wouldnt need a halo b, seeing the egrip can only shoot 15bps. it just adds excess weight, an eggy is much lighter.

Finally!  Someone gets it.

Operator error is the most common reason for paintball markers not working.  If the problem is mechanical, use the warranty to have it factory repaired, that's what it's for.
