Do you think that tippmann would get mad if I made a cyclone feed for my 98c, it would be homemade, easy just a low power electric engine and I bet you I could buy the turbine. Or I just might be able to modife a A-5 one to fit the 98c. ------------- 98c: J&J Ceramic Barrel 14" Dye Sticky Grip 32 Degrees Flame Drop Forward One Strip Hex nut Soon To Come: Double Trigger |

I'm not sure it would be a violation if you even modified a real cyclone to work on a M-98. They may try to go after you if it was on a non-Tippmann, but I doubt they would care on one of their own. But at the same time why turn a M98 into an A-5? If you want an A-5, sell your M-98 and buy one since it will likely be less headache & less money. ------------- A-5: 12" Ceramic, Egrip/WAS/Duel, HPA, MP5 sliding stock SMG-68: 12" Ceramic 68-Specials(8): 12"&14" Ceramic, 12V Revy *** 1 Tip-n-Strip, 1 Blue, 1 FA w/Qloader SL-68: 14" Ceramic SMG-60 Ext.

well i dont think they would care if u made one for yourself, but if you made millions and sold them they get mad and sue you with theer patent some how. ------------- "I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts." |

I wouldnt use a motor though, I would just reroute the gas like on the A-5. Just my two cents. |

Uhm you dont infringe a patent by just building one for yourself. You just cant profit off it. Have at it. -------------

well u could just buy a egg or revvy instead of using a electic motor,
finding a cyclone would be harder than making it fit (duct tape holds

| actually i think they only have a patent on the cyclone system for the A-5 (how it works on blow-back air), if you hand craft one that works on a different system instead of blow-back air i dont think they can do anything about it. |

| If someone comes up wit a better feeder system(similiar to the A5's) fer the 98c's, jus make sure it doesnt suck up too much gas like the A5's. |

| the A-5 cyclone doesnt run on gas from the tank, it runs on the air that the bolt produces when it moves back into the "cocked" position. its called blowback air. |

| You can do what you want. They only patenized it so other companies wouldnt do it. You could make your own, your not selling them. Even if you did sell it to some one I wouldnt think you got in trouble. |

Sounds like a good idea to me and Tippmann wouldnt really get mad, now the only way Tippmann would trip if you stole the idea of the Cyclone feeder, they could careless bout the hopper and remember someone else already created an A5 hopper that holds more than the original. So go fer it and when you finally have one done....show us a pic and explain how you did it. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

There is a pic somewhere of Dennis with a cyclone on a 98. I remember first hearing about the cyclone system, and I swear I heard it was for the 98, but they put it on the A5.
Go for it. |

have fun chopping paint. the cyclone works only because it rotates only when fired. exactly when fired. if you can do that, and get it spin once, for whatever the rotation is, good job.

Actually the cyclone spins when the bolt retracts. And it doesnt need to be exact. The sprockets rotate by spring power, not by air. The air pushes the ratchet in place, then when the gas is let off, the spring return rotates the sprockets. Wouldnt chop if you made it wrong at all. Does your a5 chop when you push the manual feed plunger when the bolt is closed? No, it just puts a bit of pressure on the ball, and finishes rotating when the bolt clears. And to the dude that said the cyclone patent only covers blowback power, try again. If you look up the patent number on the bottom of the cyclone, you get the patent for the factory f/a, which used spring power. -------------

it wouldnt really be too hard if you had just the loader. you could
drill a tap into the valve and hook it up to the feeder hole thingy.

I plan to find a way to get a cyclone on my 98c whenever I have the time and money to do it. I'll probably just butcher a 98c elbow and add the important parts onto an A5 cyclone so it can attach just like the old elbow. Then I'll get an RT powertube so I can run the gas line out the side. I'll have to buy the right half of an A5 body for that little arm that comes off though. I have to cut that off and attach it to the cyclone. Without that little arm, the paint will just spin in the cyclone and will never get pushed into the gun. I'll be sure to post something here if I manage to make it happen. ------------- oreomann33: Everybody invades Poland Rofl_Mao: And everyone eats turkey Me: But only if they're hungary Mack: Yeah but hungary people go russian through their food and end up with greece on everyth |

by the time you got done modifying the 98 custom you would have spent the same amount of money as the a-5 if you sold you 98 -------------
