You can get a centerfeed kit which would allow you to do so. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

yea you could do that but it would take some time , modding and patience. I wouldnt recomend you to do it unless you know what you are doing. -------------

another reason why the 98 is just as good as the A5, or better. But i dont know that much about it. Is there not a way to take the cyclone off, and put on a feed kneck? I would suggest that you buy a Q-loader, they are great for woodsball, and they are spring loaded. Put them anywhere, and dont worry about the center feed. Just find some way to get the tube in. By the time you mill the gun, and get a high end hopper, youll be 160$. With the Q, you save your gun, and can use the q in the future. Tell me you aren't walking that thing past 18 BPS. |

| I suppose you have an e-grip? You can take the cyclone off but I think it is a waste. Even if you are outshooting, what is the point of shooting over 15 bps? All it does is waste paint. |

Oh ya the point is making it impossible to run through the stream of paint. 18 is excessive though. I go 15 bps max and thats enough plus any more isnt tourney legal. Maybe somethins wrong with your cyclone cause is hard to get 18 walking with any gun. ------------- 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? |

| ^^ He didnt say that he had an e-grip. If he did (assumed), i would like to see a vid. Outshooting that is pretty good. |

| How exactly are you outshooting your Cyclone? What firing upgrades/mods do you have on the gun? |

| He would have to have an e-grip and a lot of trigger mods or a r/t with polished internals. |

You're shooting over 17 bps? I guarantee you probably broke your ratchet. How do you classify outshooting the Cyclone? Are you breaking paint? Is it not turning? I know you're not outshooting it, there's something wrong with your gun. ------------- 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 |

| dude your cyclone will feed RELIABLE to exactly 17.4 bps you should not be out shooting that? if so i saw someone use earthmagnets in place of the spring in the cyclone and go to 22bps but one mistake and its a blender. qloader is coming out with a adapter to go on a a5 and goes to inexcess of 30bps never out shoot that |

test results might have shown that like half the time it fed 17 and the other half it fed 18 but that does not mean that it feeds 17.5 bps. 17.4 excuse me
thats funny lol...

| Well, lets just assume that we're Tippmann and we've just created the A5 with cyclone feed. We want to know how fast the hopper shoots, so we fill it up with paint (say 174 balls, which is close to 200). Now we fire it all off as fast as we can, and with a timer, discover that it took 10 seconds to empty the hopper. Finding the lowest common denominator, (since every other gun is measured per second), we divide the number of balls shot by the time, to get bps. Therefore, 174 balls / 10 seconds =17.4 bps. |
