So the gun fires on the first shot and a ball is shot but on the next trigger pull the gun fires but it is a dry fire and the ball fails to come out of the barrel?

I think that this video will help you.   I have it in my mind that if you manually force the shot that you expect to misfire using the forward assist prior to firing the gun it may help you to narrow it down.   I'm desperately trying to become familiar with the cyclone but guys that have their guns for sale on Craigs list are forgetting to check their email.

The guy in the video claims that there is a piece where it's orifice wasn't drilled large enough for proper airflow.   He contacted tippmann and they sent him the part. It might be a banjo fitting but it was hard to see in the video.

Try dry firing with the hopper off so that you can watch the cyclone advance. I'm assuming that the paddles aren't advancing on the misfire.   I'm learning with you here lol.
