Well I have a A-5 and I am getting more into to speedball so i thought i would get ICD B2K4. But i dont want the hassle of getting my hpa filled.Money isnt a big problem but what i was wondering is how fast could i get my A-5 to go if left on cyclone. I was thinking E-grip with jcs double trigger and superfly bolt. How many bps second i could get with these upgrades and maybe some more.Thanks

what does speed have to do with getting your hpa filled... -------------

Well I believe the Cyclone is capped at 16 bps or so (correct me if I'm wrong). ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

B2K4 requires hpa but i dont want the hassle of driving so far to get it filled. I wanted to know how fast A-5 could shoot. Im using co2 for A-5 now. |

no, you can go faster, but the cyclone would spin so fast thatt it wouldnt feed properly. But most tourneys are capped at 15 BPS anyways. Also if you are shooting 15 bps with CO2 you WILL freeze the gun at sustained ROF, so you would have to get HPA anyways. -------------

When you say only 16 BPS, you act like it isn't fast, that's a lot of
paint you're shooting, you should be fine with your A5, but I'd still
reccomend getting a Bushmaster, and maybe make your own investment in a
scuba tank so you can fill tanks yourself, then you would just have to
go sort of far to get the whole scuba tank filled, but it's a lot less
trips, I wouldn't know much about that though, so I'd do a search or
maybe someone else will answer.

16 bps is fast. Shooting over 10 bps is just a waist of paint in my opinion. When you think about it you're rarely going to see somebody run through 10+ bps. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

Ive seen it done, some turney nut somehow ran through my R/T at 23 bps. It was matrix like. -------------

if you're going to shoot fast you're going to want HPA...shooting fast with co2 or even anti-cyphoned co2 just isnt as consistent and dependable as shooting with HPA -------------

if hpa fill is so far away, where is your CO2 filled? ------------- |^^^^^^^^^^^^^|||__ |-----Tippmann----|||| '|";\,___. |_..._...______===|=||_|__|...,] "(@)'(@)"""" |(@)(@) ````'(@) |

Some shops only fill co2. Take my local shop for example. They didn't fill HPA until 2 months ago. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

A b2k4 w/ pds would be a good investment, just be sure to get a fast hopper and HPA on it though. |

Promaster. Ion, or B2K4 With PDS. But out of them go with the promaster But it's a little more pricy (I mean very little.) Or if you get lucky get something used. Some people don't like used gear but If I find stuff for a cheap price I'm ginna get it. ------------- Please for the love of god don't get a flatline. |
