i cut a hole in the top of the cap, put an o ring that came with the q loader around the elbow, slid it into the hole, and then secured it with an o ring on the other side, i also had to wrap some electrical tape around the elbow to make it snug in the hole. and i only did 8 prewinds on wach qpod.

Pretty nice looking. But you should move the mag back over the gas line, and put the handgaurd back where it's supposed to be. The attach the q-loader there. That way, you're q loader would look a whole lot more like a grenade launcher on you M4. Just a thought tho.

u should try something like feeding the Q directly into the breach. take the cyclone off, and make a custom elbow to fit it, and see how that is.

Yeah why do you still have the cyclone on? It really good what you did, but your defeating the speed of the Q-loader over the cyclone.

i didnt get the qloader for the speed at which it dispensed balls, i got it so i wouldnt have to use the big stoopid hopper, and to be able to use the red dot. plus its more low profile than having the stock hopper.

That's just stupid. Attach it to the breech. It's been done already, search "qloader" it will turn up. Was up about a week ago. If im feeling nice I'll edit it into my post.
You go and say you go it "so i wouldnt have to use the big stoopid hopper" but then your red dot site and rail is higher than the stock hopper would have been and higher than the elbow+cap itself!
The whole pupose of the Q-loader is wasted because of the cyclone. And if you were really worried about keeping a smaller profile you wouldn't have all that extra comsmetic add ons (ie stock, handguard, mag, site, site rail).

Maybe you could hook the Q-Loader (with a mount) to the handguard itself and make a shroud and make it look like a real M203?

I wasn't really trying to put down your marker. But it just seemed contradictory to me what you're doing.
Here's the info on how to put it on the breech: http://tippmann.com/players/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=106060&KW=Qloader - http://tippmann.com/players/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID =106060&KW=Qloader

greedy, thanks for the post, i am going to try to get rid of the cyclone feed idea. it keeps jamming. i still have a couple more ideas to go through, but most likely i will just mod it to right into the breech.

Speaking of which - does anybody have a picture of Darksyde's Warped A-5? He did a very nice job, which could be inspiration here as well.

A stock isnt cosmetic if you use it, neither is a sight, or a
handguard. I think the best place to mount a qloader on an a5 is
right underneith the cyclone. YA.......?

everything i have on my gun is purely functional, except for the m16 front sight. i use the handguard and all the barrel stuff for grip, its alot better than wraping my hand around a bare barrel, way more comfortable, i use the site for quickshots. i lift the gun and shoot to the dot, its almost always right on. the stock i use for stability. push that against my shoulder and my a5 dont wobble at all.
by mounting it under the cyclone, how do you mean?

Does your new setup with the 98c elbow chop paintballs at all?

almost zero ball chop, every once in a while i will get one but i use crappy balls so i think that has a factor in it.

commander cool, did get the name from mgs2, and it is a wicked game.
i changed over to the qloader because i didnt much like the cyclone, when i got low on co2, the cyclone would stop workin on me, and then when i get down low on balls, i would have to shoot a couple times to get to the next ball, not that its that big a deal, plus i wanted my gun to be ultimately mine, even tho other peeps have dont the same thing, i still like it better then the cyclone.
thanks for the backup evil.
