hey guys.....

i bought a cyclone feed for my 98 custom pro along with the e-trigger kit and a 16" barrel. ever since i got the cyclone i have been noticing that i have been chopping an alarming amount of balls and find myself cleaning out the barrel more than i am playing.

i have tried putting the old hopper back on and i don't chop nearly any balls so i have narrowed it down to the cyclone. it seems like i am almost trying to feed 2 balls at a time rather than the 1 ball its supposed to lol.....all my friends laugh that i have a paint spray gun rather than a paintball marker..

anyways i was hoping that you guys could help me figure out what the heck is going on with this thing?

oh yeah......i have the TechT soft feeder arms in their also if that matters any.

thanks in advance for the help.

Andrew

Have you noticed that it is trying to feed two at once or are you just assuming(just because you said seemed)? put only like 5-10 balls in at a time and watch what happens. What mode are you shooting with the E-grip? The cyclone may not be able to keep up with the grip. Just curious for a little more info.

when i pull the trigger some of the time i will get a solid ball come out with a spray following it, or i will get a massive amount of spray that goes in separate directions... it will happen in semi auto or any of the other settings, so i really don't understand what is going on with it
