Yes, aout 4,000 other people have thought of it. It comes stock on an A-5, and you cannot buy it as an upgrade. It could be put on a 98, I finally got to test my theory the other night. I used an R/T 98, and instead of using the R/T hose going back into the grip, I screwed the cyclone's airline into the R/T powertube. When I shot, the gasses meant to power the R/T were actually strong enough to power the cyclone. So with a little creativity in attaching it to feed the balls into the chamber, I could be done. But, I hate the cyclone, and would be saddened if someone actually did attach it to a 98 sucessfully.

I think someone had a topic a while back where they had successfully attached a cyclone to the 98 and used it. Also, the Factory F/A is kinda like what you are talking about.

It's not about looks 98 nitro, it's for performance. Rather than buying a new (and maybe slower) hopper you could attach a cyclone which can feed reliably at about 16 bps and costs around $30-40. It requires some skill and time to pull something like that off but in the end you'll have a good feeder for half the price of anything else that can feed at that rate. On top of that, your gun is definitely one of a kind so it sets your 98 apart from the millions of others out there.

But where would you get the cyclone from?  Either way your most likely going to have to spend money so why not just by a fast hopper?  The only difference basically  between the a-5 and the 98C is the Cyclone, so it would basically be an A-5 if you put it on the 98C.

You can buy it directly from tippmann or you can buy the parts elsewhere online and build one though that will cost more money. I e-mailed tippmann a while ago and they said I could buy a new cyclone directly from them for $30. In my opinion, a $30 force feed system that requires no batteries is more worth while than just buying a new hopper for double the price (a revvy is about $70 and feeds up to 13 bps, cyclone can reach 16). It does take some work to make it attach to the 98 but in the end you'll have a gun that performs well and is unique. When you do something like that you give yourself a reason to be proud of your gun. Thousands of people have 98 customs but how many have a 98c with a cyclone? So far the count is up to 1.

It will work twisted. The valve in the A5 and 98c is made to accept CO2 and compressed air without any modifications. As long as it puts out enough pressure it will work fine. If you have a low pressure (output, not internal) tank then the gun will either not work or will shoot at very low velocities unless you have a low pressure kit.
