I just got the cyclone for my AB w/ e-grip. it shoots fine on semi-auto (even when i fire fast) but when i shoot on 3-burst or full-auto it chops balls. I got the tornado,hot rod and squishy paddles in there and a J&J barrel. when i open it up, the paint is on the bolt and where the ball enters the gun from the cyclone (but no paint in the cyclone). Im firing at 270-275 fps, using compressed air, and using Xballs podium series from sports authority. Any suggestions?

how does the paint itself look out of the bag? if it has any dimples or out of
round balls or misformed balls the cyclone will destroy them i haven't added
a cyclone to a marker yet i only have experience with my A-5, so i don't
know if there are any specific things to pay attention to, I try to stay away
from paint from department stores since you never know how long it's been
sitting in a warehouse or the back stockroom in the store, try some different
paint first, most paintball shops will sell it to you by the bag to test it out
