a Halo or eggy costs like the same anyways and the installation is easier
for those-no installation. ------------- My guns name is Mr. Max in remembrance of my dog that got hit by a car: Tippmann A-5 Ricochet R-5 JCS double Trigger Tippmann E-Grip Flatline Barrel Do you have the need for speed? |

I like my Reloader and I've heard that Cyclones were bad for speedball.

the best set-up for speedball is a q-loader, it can mount under your barrel. it acts somewhat like a warpfeed. ------------- Getting bunkered is like having sex in prision; it will happen weather you like it or not. |

| The only bad things about q-loaders is they take longer to load paint in them then other hoppers and I don't think they hold as much, as say a halo. |

I am planning on getting one when I get my next
check. If I don't like it I will sell it. My revy won't keep up with my RT. I will have to go by tippmann to get the T fitting. Hate Batteries, love air... |

the cyclone feed is the least of your concern in paintballing when it comes to size its that giant thing we call a hopper that is most likely where you get hit but what do i know im left handed P.S. where can i get one ------------- Gamertag: Kataklysm999

Well, the question is not how fast it feeds, the question is how reliable it feeds. The Cyclone will feed up to 17 (17.4) bps. Tourneys are capped at 15 bps. Using Eggy's and Revvy's, there are still chops at higher rates of fire. The cyclone does not chop, simply because it cannot chop. If it doesn't turn fast enough, there will not be a ball in the breach to be shot or chopped. Breaks encountered with the A-5 come from bad paint (breaking when the front bolt smacks it forward) or mis-sized paint (squeezing paint that is too big into a smaller bore barrel) or hitting the trigger with the barrel plug in (no comment Halo's are pretty reliable, but I still see paintball mags with 'cockers and DM's with busted paint all over the inside of the barrel, being fed with a Halo. Q Loaders are very reliable, as there is a very constant pressure on the ball in the breach. However, reloading is lengthier and throwing a $25 pod kinda hurts. Plus, it only holds 100 rounds and creates a large target closer to the front of the gun. The Cyclone can be upgraded with the R-5 to improve the shape. However, the R-5 has a problem with the shell. In hot weather, if a ball hits the R-5 on the shell it will cause the plastic to break. Usually the threaded plastic for the screws will twist off when taking it apart after receiving damage. I'd stick with the cyclone, thats just my preference. I'd rather not have to clean my barrel after every target. ------------- 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 |

The only reason I would get one is for the tac-cap that you can get for A-5's. Otherwise, I don't shoot fast and don't need it. Bit I would love to ditch the hopper for that tac cap. Its almost worth the price. ------------- Ooooh! Next time aim higher, son. |

As the owner of an A5RT and M98C w/Ricochet AK, I will definitely be looking to get one of these for my M98C!
Dudes, from what I hear, they are makin it with the quick-release elbow....it is gonna be even sicker than the A5's Cyclone. If it really is only gonna be about $60 that is an absolute steal. ------------- "People who see the future earlier than others are always feared and misunderstood." - Jose Canseco |
