After playing with my Egrip for the first time, I
started chopping balls within 5 minutes of the start of the game.
The cyclone was what was chopping the balls. Is turning down my
rate of fire the only way to solve the problem, or is there anything
else I can do?

maybe your rate of fire is to fast maybe bad paint or to cold outside could be a number of things.

What he said ^^ Also look into the cyclone its self, there was an update for it a verylong time ago but if u have a newer gunn it would be fixed. There is also a new front bolt (pollished alluminum) that say it can increase the efficency of the gas driected into the cyclone. Try using Marbalizers they have a good hard shell and work excelent in the flatline!!! Nice level path. |

I don't think it was the e grips falt, how old is your marker? mabe your ratchet is striped? old paint?cold outside?too high fps? im just throwing out ideas here. I see you got a F/L, they can be picky on what type of paint they like,try your stock barrel,and see if the problem continues. ------------- my A-5 setup,sp freak kit,pro-seal powertube,E-grip,cp 45* drop,polished internals,GTA lpk,palmers fatty stab.crossfire 45/4500 ,dye rhino cover,jcs duel trigger |

A new front bolt will not even come close to affecting air released to the cyclone. The cyclone output is located just behind the valve pin & plate (not really a plate, but thats only way I can think to describe it.) Follow the other advice, like type of paint, cold, etc. ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |

| listen to ac600 and jovian they know what there talking about. its not yur egrip at all, dont lower the firing rate. listen to they said about cold, paint , etc... if thats not it then make sure you replace the ratchet in the cyclone and make sure that airflow is not getting blocked through the tube on the cyclone side3 of the gun. |
