what if they made the a5 with 2 cyclone feed systems one on each side of
the barrel all you do is push a button and it closes a hatch for one of the hoppers while it opens the other that way you wont need many pods i dont know bout that idea but oh well |

It would increase the weight of your gun as well as block your vision, especially is you had the Ricochet R5s. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

It would be an awesome idea for Scenario I guess, but any other way it is a stale idea. ------------- http://www.freewebs.com/outlawspaintball/index.htm - Outlaws *Sponsors* http://www.abrika.ca - Abrika |

| ^^^That would be especially bad for scenarios. In those you have to go long distances and you don't want a clunky marker. Plus you have time to hide and use a pod. |

The idea has been thought of already and was rejected immediately.... ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

actually the double hopper if made right and used in the correct way for example as as a machine gun in scenarior sat on a small tripod like an old mg32 or .30 cal u would actually have sight down the middle between ur hoppers these ppl obviously are not thinking of many ways to use it just ways to disprove it. Don't be discouraged because many in life had ideas rejected and look where it got them. but the bun would be great if it switched off hoppers as a machine gun i know i would buy one of those for scenarios my team is always saying we need a machine gunner and what better way than an a-5 formed like an old .30 cal with about 400 rounds total my support guys would be all over it ------------- Building an Evil Empire...

Yeah But you wouldn't be able to see anywhere else but straight. SO you wouldn't know where to aim your sights. Also yopu mmight be able to stick your head up to see but thats when you get shot. |

If you really think bout it, an A5 wit 2 Cyclone Feeds, it would have to use a huge tank (possibly bigger than a 114/5000) jus to power up 2 Cyclones. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

that is a horrible idea, the cyclone runs off of air from recock. so every
time you would shoot, it would pound 2 balls into eachother thus breaking an ass-ton of paint ------------- Check out the team site http://www.tippmanntorment.20megsfree.com - Tippmann torment team site Macdev cyborg black/yellow #371, evil scion 68/4500, ccm no rise |
