You have to use like a DM board and mill that into the grip frame and the mill the body for eyes and make sure they line upand then wire everything up

very complicated

It would make your gun very very unique not many people have eyes on they're tippy. But that might not matter to you, so w/e

Im just kidding. I dont even know if there is enough room in the gun for eyes. about how big are they? and I hear that there are different kinds of eyes. what makes one kind better/worse than others?

it's a tippmann effect marker.  another one is Natural Newbie's 98, which is 100x better.

^^^it's a pro/semi pro team that uses all tippmann markers...competatively.  they customize a couple here and there, but pretty much, all their markers used are 98's with e-grips, lpr, usually the camo decals kit, and maybe a tippmann barrel. Most have the centerfeed upgrade.  i havn't kept up on them much lately, so i'm not certain about the specs.  The 98 with eyes isn't an actual Tippmann Effect marker, it was just built by someone directly affiliated with TE. 

go google them.  they've got some pretty sweet pics.

i bet it would be way easier to just run the regular egrip microswitch in series with the photodiode detector, and probably a potentiometer. emitter would be powered independently. breakbeam eyes for ~1usd - check jameco

If you did try this, and sold it, you could prolly make quite a bit of money.

impractical? no.
more work than it's worth? probably.

the way the cyclone is timed, it's impossible to chop.

edit: assuming you aren't shooting greater than the cycle rate of the cyclone.
