yea for speedball i would deffitnly get a new varrel instead of the flatline. A quv is a quick exhuast valve , i believe it helps air flow faster our flow out not 100% sure. A r5 hoppers is a different hopper for the cyclone it looks like a ricochet hopper.

Defiantly get a new barrel. I'd suggest the SP All American. Great barrel for the money. Very accurate, and looks great too. And yes, a QEV is a quick exhaust valve. It basicly does what it says. It's a quick exaust (or air) valve. So basicly it releases air. It speeds up Cyclone by venting the exhaust air out of the QEV, allowing for faster operation of the Cyclone. Instead of the Cyclone being capped at 16 bps, with the QEV it's more around 20. It can be purchased https://palmer-pursuit.com/ecom/product_info.php/cPath/56_53/products_id/304?osCsid=2668bce4a0124f16a3ac17c97b3babfc - here . And the R5 replaces the stock Cyclone hopper (just the hopper part). Just like any other Ricochet hopper, it has "paintball deflecting technology". You can purchase it at most online stores. http://www.hotshotpaintball.com - www.hotshotpaintball.com has it, and a lot more A-5 stuff. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |
