I'm pretty sure this question has been asked and i tried using the
search but it was taking too long to filter through or i wasn't using
it properly. anyways, i have the a-5 and i'm noticing that i'm
using way too much air and i was told by a fellow woodsball player that
i can adjust the air into the cylcone feed but he never gave me the
specifics on how to do it. does anyone know how to do this?
and is it possible that by adjusting the air flow that the gun won't
use as much air as before to power it?

The cyclone uses excess blowback air to operate. Adjusting the airflow to the cyclone wont affect how much air the marker uses. The A-5 by its nature is a gas-hog.

| There is no adjustment that comes stock on an A5 to adjust the CYCLONE. But you could purchase a Regulator ( I suggest a Palmers Male) and adjust the whole gun . It sounds like your marker is stock, so you could turn the pressure down to about 600psi . This is a trial and error thing. One other thought would be to add the R/T adjuster to the cyclone, I have not done this , but it would be interesting to find out how efficient the Cyclone is. |

You can't adjust a cyclone.
