working on the flip down lots lately, should have a diagram up soon. This thing is super easy to clean. What I'd like to do is design an Anti-Chop system to go on a high end version of the marker because it would be very usefull

...i am not trying to be mean, or discouraging, but A) to use any part/piece of a cyclone feed, you MUST have a license, contact tippmann, they might even help out finacially or something B)ummm...whats wrong with a regular cyclone? mines never busted a ball...but i dont shoot auto, so what do i know... C) despite your name being on numerous documents, unless you have a patent, or patent pending, anyone can use your ideas, there is nothing stopping them i know my credibility is rather weak, seems like nobody likes the idea of blackpowder in this sport, but my close uncle is one of the top 50 American inventors of all time, and im somewhat of an inventor myself, so i know how these things work that having been said, good job, this idea is orginal, and quite good, except for the few shortcomings i have pointed out |

This has got to be the dumbest idea i have ever heard. why
would you single stack-load the balls into the cyclone when with the
cyclones hopper, you have no chance for the balls to not drop into the
chamber, you dont need to buy an 80 dollar hopper just to keep the
balls feeding. the cyclone ELIMINATES all chance of chopping the
ball as it physically puts the ball into the chamber. the only
way to chop a ball is to outshoot the cyclone, and since the
cyclone feeds as fast as the gun shoots, outshooting it is
virtually impossible. I simply see no reason to complicate an
emaculate force-feeding system by adding a very flawed gravity-based
feed into it. you said your reasoning for this is so that it can
utilize the hoppers that other guns use, i fail to see why you would
want throw money at a problem that does not exist. even the most
expensive electro-hoppers will still chop, the cyclone wont. the
only thing that adding an 80 dollar hopper to it will do is slow
it down, and waste your time and money. While its kinda cool that
you came up with this, it simply is not value-added . i recommend that you save your time and money to create something that will be worth while.

i'm sorry you don't like it but whether it's a likely idea or not it's still a completely original concept that would work. this forum is for ideas.. not just stuff that should be produced...

he has a very valid point this idea is somewhat worthless, for all the effort involved...things never work as well in reality as they do in thoery do what you want none the less, it is quite orginal, maybe the next one will be better, good luck |

I only read the first page, so forgive me for that.
But here's all I want to say...imagine the Cyclone how it is right now. 5-slots for paintballs waiting to be fired, with a stack of paintballs sitting right above them. The secret to the Cyclone? The WIDE-MOUTHED HOPPER! Without this, gravity cannot force the balls down fast enough to keep the 5-stars full. Above those 5 slots with paintballs seated in them, there is a ready stack of paintballs ready to fall into place. If you went to a regular feedneck, you are reducing the amount of balls available, which would starve the Cyclone. I don't know it y'all get what I'm saying, but my point is the wide-mouthed hopper is totally necessary for fast-feeding of the Cyclone. |
