Im not sure but I think I seen someone with a spider with a cyclone on it. when does the patent on the cyclone end? I will love to see what kind of cool guns come out when that happens. ------------- 1 paintball gun package=$150 1 case of paint=$50 air & entry fee=$15 lighting up newbies all day long= Priceless |

I dont think any other company will get production rights of the cyclone. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

true, it would be very hard to do it with any stacked tube gun, not to mention really ugly -------------

what about laying the cyclone vertical agaist the gun? the balls will be pushed up into the gun? it would feed pretty good sept the last 5 or so balls. or make a sort of belt that feeds the balls into the gun. the belt would be attached to the bolt so there would be no timing issues ------------- 1 paintball gun package=$150 1 case of paint=$50 air & entry fee=$15 lighting up newbies all day long= Priceless |

Because usually if you have a high end gun you're playing speed ball right? So if you're playing speedball you don't want this big ass thing pocking out the side, you'll get hopper hits all the time. Not to mention you're gun would be extremely off balance and gun fighting would be a disaster + If I'm right the cyclone uses more air to get it to spin so more of an air hog, and it's not even that fast. So there you have it Cyclone on high end = no. ------------- Please for the love of god don't get a flatline. |

you aren't right. a cyclone'd and R/T'd 98 custom doesn't go through CO2 or HPA any faster than a stock 98. ------------- 98 Custom milled;painted;J&J Ceramic;X-Chamber;R/T;Cyclone. |

Well then I'm wrong, but all the other reasons stand.

what one thing I dont understand, is why Tippmann made the cyclone use air to cycle it. why did they not just hook it on the side of the bolt. that way it would not have any problems of skipping and chopping at high rates of fire. with air you have to (i use the word loosely) time it right ------------- 1 paintball gun package=$150 1 case of paint=$50 air & entry fee=$15 lighting up newbies all day long= Priceless |
