the cyclone works fine with hpa. actually, i recomend it. the only problems that occur with the cyclone (hpa or co2) is the rachet. its the clear peace that rotates the star. its made of a plastic-ish material, and its "racheted" with a metal rod, the rod starts to wear on the ratchet a bit. |

The plate thing is correct - you need updates #1 and #2 from Tippmann for your Cyclone. Update #1 is the clear ratchet, update #2 is the new bottomplate to stop the clear ratchet from wearing. The new bottomplates have an "A" stamped on the bottom. Both updates are free from Tippmann.

| the a isnt hard to find, its right on the bottom plate near the pump rod. just look at the bottom of your cyclone and you'll see it |

CO2 tank pressure varies, but a full tank can often be 900-1000psi. Nitro tanks are more consistent, and usually set at 850, but some tanks are set at 800 or 750psi (Crossfire is 750, I think, for instance). That is plenty pressure to run your gun, but it makes sweetspotting harder. If you go nitro you should look for a tank with 850 psi to maximize your sweetspot, and then you can visit http://www.a5ownersgroup.com - www.a5ownersgroup.com for some DIY trigger jobs to help more as well. But yes - it is usually easier to sweetspot with CO2. But with nitro you can sustain longer bursts.
