i got an idea for the cyclone feed, instead of running the cyclone feed off your air and making the a5 a major gass hog ...why dont they just run it off a battery... i think that would be way better and save so much more gas

Yea, but what happens when your battery dies in the field cuz you forgot to charge it? Yes some fields sell 9 volts but theyre like 2 dollars. Where co2 is like 3 dollars to fill a 20oz(mine). I mean its a good idea and all(i thought of it when i first got mine |

meh im neutral about it, on one hand u don't waste as much co2/hpa on other hand you'll have to worry about wondering how many shots your battery has left, tho if the battery runs out of the game you could always use the pump rod. Well, its a good idea.

Except that it doesn't waste any extra gas. It uses the excess (blowback) gas that shoots the paintball to power the cyclone. |

The cyclone was designed to run on air so that you wouldn't have to worry about having batteries or getting it wet. All the problems of electronic devices would not be present with a feeder operated by excess gas, hence the cyclone. If you run it on a battery then you defeat the purpose of it. It's only a rumor that the A5 is a gas hog because of the cyclone, it hasn't been proven as far as I know. I get the same efficiency with my A5 as I do with my 98c or at least close enough that I don't see the difference so until I see test results showing the cyclone to be drawing extra gas, I won't believe it.

i definately agree that the cyclone feed doenst take any extra air. i was told that it uses the same amount of air as anything else because it DOES use the excess "back" air of the tank. i have gotten the same air efficiency with my a5 just like with my spyder shutter and my other various guns.

yea yall are right, lol u kno its funny i rececently polished my internals and went to a field yesterday, usually I'd go through 2 20 oz to play, now i only use one. Well anyways i think i like the cyclone feed the way it is, somethin less to worry about wit batteries.

You could have the cyclone run of of a 9 gram and have something that when everytime you pull the trigger or have it held down that it relaeses some gas

Lol, if you say so. With the current design you never have to touch it for it to work, never have to change batteries, and it always spins after each shot. How would making it electronic make it any easier or better? |

why would you have to carry an extra co2 tank? it doenst use anymore then any other gun. Read the other posts - uses excess gas. Cmon say it with me - excess. Meaning doesnt use any more then some other gun. If you really think so, then get like a expansion chamber or reg or something.
