Some one should make a piece for the A-5 so you have the option to take the cyclone feed off so you can use a electronic hopper. but on the other hand the whole point of the a 5 is the cyclone ------------- soccer is fun |

Yeah, I was thinking about the similar thing, just posted it in a different forum, and didnt make a whole topic about it. After looking at that one, im not so sure it looks as good as I thought it might... -------------

I'm sure it's more than possible... It's easy to take off the cyclone, then somehow attach an elbow, and get an electric hopper. ------------- Tenacious and Versatile |

The whole idea of the cyclone is to eliminate the need for an electric hopper |

Taking the cyclone feed system off the A-5 is by far the stupidest idea on planet earth. Besides, the A-5 in that pic is Super-FUGLY! If your going to waste all that time removing the CF just to replace it with a electronic system, why buy the A-5 in the first place!

Look in the marker gallery and look fer Foxdie (his thread has the best pics fer replacing the Cyclone), he took off the Cyclone off his A5 and bolted a modded 98c elbow feed. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

a-5 w/o cyclone is a 98c with a few added features and a lil' bit diff internals...how do u think they came up with the cyclone feed, they retro-fitted it 2 a 98c first(saw on http://www.warpig.com - warpig.com ) ------------- 98c seclusion 14" dye ultralite rufus dawg 2x stick trigg remote full-auto mod http://roadrunnerpaintball.mypicgallery.com/mpg/Route.asp - My 98C 100% smart parts |

Most ectronic loaders can load faster than the cyclone feed... this means with an electric hopper you can shoot faster than the cyclone feed. I would invest in this upgrade ------------- http://jeffspbpix.mypicgallery.com/mpg/Route.asp - My Gun |

I agree I dont think it is a good idea. I thought the A-5 Cyclone fed as fast as you shoot no matter what?? Matt ------------- "Those who fear being conquered, are sure of defeat" "The most deadly thing on the battlefield is one well-aimed shot." |

well, even if you do, the best upgrade you could get would be a e-grip...and from what ive heard/read, you can only get 15bps, mabey 16, thats the "cap" on the cyclone without chops.
