You won't chop balls in an A-5 with an E-grip installed. You think Tippmann (a "new player" company) would make the E-grip outshoot its cyclone feeder? It just wouldn't make any sense.

The WAS board on the E-grip is maxed out at 15bps. This is well under what the cyclone can keep up with.

You can turn your e-grip up faster though, as its just capped at 15 bps... but theres not really a reason to be shooting any faster. There are some upgrades for they cyclone made by TechT that enable it to go faster, you can always get some of those if you want to turn your e-grip any faster. Also, do you have a double trigger? Some places only let you shoot semi so a double trigger is usefull because it'll allow you to walk the trigger.

i just installed the JCS Jet Click which is basically the vortec but less expensive.  it keeps up nicely and wont break.  then again my old one didnt break either, i just wanted some insurance for it basically.
Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...
