| Well I just got off work and I had the thought about the cyclone and how it works, using the gas to push the piston in then the spring push it back loading the ball. What if it worked backwards? Like the gas tube was further down on the piston making the gas push the piston loading the gun and the spring just be the reset? What do you think? |

nm maybe some one has an idea as to how to keep the balls in the loader from jumping around at the near end of your balls so you dont have the occasional miss by a ball hopping out of the star? figured id post in here so i didnt take up space. |

^ i have a vague idea what you are trying to say... If you mean that a ball that is ready to be fed by the cyclone somehow moves into a position that the cyclone wont feed it the i have a simple solution keep plenty of paint in your hopper if you can. That probably had nothing to do with your question but i found it hard to make out. -------------

Shoot slower or refill your hopper. ------------- Don't hate the player... Hate the game. |
