I just got my cyclone for my alpha black in the mail today, and I put it on
and attached everything. But how do I know that its working? Because where
I live its illegal to shoot a paintball gun, and so the CO2 tank at my house
isnt filled up and I dont have any paintballs. When you cock the gun and fire
it, is the cyclone supposed to move?

I believe the cyclone is air operated so you may have to fill your tank and fire off a few rounds in the garage or basement. I won't tell!

What should I do?

make sure the lines are hooked up properly and watch the cyclone carfully.  You may be blinking too long to see it .

If not that take it to a proshop and see if they can pinpoint the problem if you still cant.

Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...

Try marking the paddles to see if they move.

Unhook the tube from the fitting on the cyclone and fire the marker. Make sure there is air coming out of it.

Never mind, I just figured it out. My C02 tank was very low so there was not
enough pressure to move the cyclone. Thank you to all who helped

when you have a full tank and it starts to run out, your cyclone wont work for the last 15 shots (give or take).
