e-grip

No you won't be choppin 'balls. The egrip is capped at 15 semi, and the cyclone is capped at 17 and with QEV at 22, which is debatable. You'll be fine, and with a JCS, you'll be walking that dog in no time.

Have an E-grip on mine... not one chopped ball to date.

But the thing is they don't work perfectly together at all.

I have one I have seen it happen.

My buddy has been shooting his E-5 on full auto for three years, and only chops when the paint is bad. Otherwise, zero chops at 15 bps.

Every time i try and shoot my a5 on full auto it burst abou 50% of the balls. And its not the paint or the barrel. Ah well.

I never chopped a single ball with my E-Grip..

Another thing, the cyclone feeder is there to keep up with the speed.

I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.

It will be fine.

The combination of the CO2 and the low temperature may have done you in. Paint gets brittle in low temperature, and the Cyclone isn't gentle on the paint. CO2 at high ROF spits liquid, and even the Stab can't stop it completely. The cold aggravates this further.

I have seen plenty of A-5s (including mine) turn into blenders at those temperatures. Try an indoor range if you can, or wait for the weather to change, or get Polar Ice.

I play in canada and it is cold a lot of the times i play and i use co2 and hpa, My egrip works well with the a-5, unless it gets really cold then it is not chopping the balls are breaking in the barrel. my Egrip+a5= Bad news for foes

I just noticed that every thread that Monkey Dust posts in turns into a fight. Let me guess Monkey Dust, your kindergarden report card read "Doesnt play well with others", am i right?

I have only shot 6 cases through my a-5 but I have not chopped 1 ball.

I am thinking someone does not know the difference between chopped ball and barrel break or something. how are you going to chop a ball if the cyclone feed is working properly. I think something is wrong with the feeder.

if you are breaking 50% of the balls at full auto without some kind of other mod something is wrong with the marker becasue if you read this thread you are the minority so to speek.

is the e-grip worth it? I am not sure since you already have the response. it does give you options that the RT does not have. semi, turbo, 3round, full auto. you have a 9v battery though that could go dead on you so you always have to make sure you have a spare. I ususally play in turbo as I don't like wasting paint. I bought the gun off ebay with the egrip on it. If I were buying I don't know which one I would go with. there is something nice about have a fully mechnical marker but on the flip side the "sweet spot" is not as nice IMO as the selectability of the e-grip.
