I know this defeats the purpose of the cyclone...

but face it the cyclone is huge... and only does a max of 20bps with the QEV mod.

I play Rec., Scenario, and Speed ball...(so i have looked at this from every point of view) there are times when id rather have the Cyclone on the A-5... but sometimes i wanna able to use my Halo on it (look cool... higher feed rates) ... idk

But think that someone should make a Standard Hopper adapter for the A-5... like either a bolt on kit.... or a kit with a new reciever half with the necessary hardware and parts to accept standard hoppers

whaddaya think...??

that would be awesome...if i had an a-5 and really wanted that...i would take the time, but i like the cyclone for some crazy reason...i mean, its powered by blowback gases no batteries needed...and like u said it does 20 with qev...but i guess if you want that little extra use a reg hopper...

do u hav the QEV on ur a5. because if u do i dont see a "huge" difference in hoppers

Its a good idea. Ive wondered that myself.But Why do that when you can order a qev from palmers for 15 bucks and get 20bps.Why do you need to shoot any faster than that????I mean that is fast.

Eh. A Super Rt could do 20 if properly tuned.

An A-5 with an LPK, WAS, and a light Titanium bolt could do around 25bps.. with of course alit of bounce...

but if it had a faster hopper, it could feed that fast as well... even tho i dont ever plan to shoot that fast.. it would just be nice to know that i could....

idk... maybe i just like the idea of using my HaloB on my A-5...

it would still be a nice upgrade....

"the A-5, its not just another one of my guns, its my Obsession"

I saw an add from Q-Loader featuring an A-5 conversion kit.

Would be very cool if a Q-Loader held more than 100 rounds.

If I attack, follow me

If I flee, kill me

If I die, avenge me
