RT with cyclone?

what is your price range

...Rossy you just said the Cylone works very well WITH the CYCLONE What he was trying to say was that yes, the R\T works fine with the Cyclone.. I have an R\T and no problems at all with the Cyclone.. then again my gun is an A-5.

Let me explain, yes the r/t and cyclone work off the blow back, but they both allow you to shoot more and faster do they not? there for you shoot more paint. More bolt travel= more use of power source!

so the tell me, how does an R/T + cyclone shooting at 12 bps use more air than a R/T + halo shooting at 12 bps?  remember: if i took the R/T and cyclone off my gun, it would get the same amount of shots per tank that i do now.....
true, the R/T does let you shoot faster, but you'll shoot faster whether you have a cyclone or a halo. the feeder doesn't control how fast you shoot....it just controls how fast the balls enter the chamber, and in this case, that is irrelevant.

I lost atleast 100 shots. if you remember the power-tube does have a whole for the R\T.. maybe that has something to do with it..? meh I dunno

how many times do i have to explain it? with your stock marker, when you shoot, there is blowback gas. that's just the way Tippmanns work. if the hole is plugged, it just dissipates throughout the gun. if the hole is open, it powers the R/T and/or cyclone. if everything was installed correctly, there shouldn't be any loss of efficiency.

I'm going to have to appoligize, I thought that Tobert wanted to have his hopper keep up with his r/t. I don't have any expeirence with the cyclone but I assumed that the r/t and cyclone combined would use even more power source than the r/t alone. Because the rate of fire they would allow and would be both functioning from. If he went elec. then the power source of the r/t would be from his tank and the hopper would be from the battery. make any sense? I'm confused!

Even if you did have problems.. the R\T is very simple, cyclone is simple just has a couple very small easily loosable parts.. so you could fix them, it's not like reparing an Angel (Which is almost impossible)

"On my 98 custom, I had both an R/T and a regulator.  When I set the regulator to the minimum pressure required to acheave 285 fps my RT did not work very well.  However when I set the regulator to shoot at 300fps, then used the FVA to bring the speed down to 285, the R/T ran great.  This means that the RT does use a little more air than necessary, and so the cyclone will need a little more to.  STILL unless you are running a reg at absolute minimum pressures, you'll never know it. "

Meh, until Tippmann actually admits more gas-usage.. which they won't, this will always be a major debate....I'll stick with, YES, the R\T does use more gas.
