i'd bet it's the kind of paint, especially at that high ROF. keep in mind that the cyclone does knock around the balls a bit. here's a good test on how fragile the paint is: take about 10 balls, and drop them on the ground from eye level. if more than 7 or 8 bounce, and don't break when they hit the ground, your paint is probably fine. if you break more than 3 or 4, i'd say your paint is too fragile for the cyclone. ------------- 98 Custom milled;painted;J&J Ceramic;X-Chamber;R/T;Cyclone. |

Uh.. isn't Dye Proto a Dye "Line" for clothing...? Use Diablo Heat... I use that and have never chopped a ball.. I also when I'm low on money go out and buy RPS Premium, at my local pbstore I can get a 2,000 Case of Diablo Paint for 40$ Has the date made.. and they are never contain evaporated water so there are never dimples.. they are also classified as a "gel-cap" paintball.. quite sturdy  ------------- Tippmann A-5 - Shocktech Drop + On\Off - Super R\T - Q.E.V. - Red Hot Powertube - Stock - Flatline + Metadyne Shroud - R.I.S.

I would say its paint but the cyclone does knock the balls around alot
and will break some balls doin that... especially at higher rates of
fire teh cyclone turns into a blender

Well looks like I maybe have problem with w.a.s. The light comes on red when power up now, and even in single fire it is chopin just about every ball. I have tried new bateries. Switched back to regular grip. Not a problem as fast as I can pull.
Anybody know why the led would come on redish orange color whenever you power up or shut off? |
