Re: Rate of cyclone problems
I said no, because it was my fault, not the cyclone's. Needed that little bit extra lube to be happy in 4 degree C weather.........

Re: Rate of cyclone problems
Given the amount of use my a-5 gets compared to the amount of headache its given me, i voted no, because a busted ratchet is expected after 5 cases, so i have no problem replacing it and it wasn't as hard as i thought it was going to be.

Re: Rate of cyclone problems
Yes I've had problems with my cyclone. Misfeeds, not cycling and the blender effect.

I must agree.. the cyclone system works perfect.. and I know at least 5 people I played with this weekend up at Liberty Paintball Field that are going out to get one before the next game. Even my good buddy who has a 1600 buck ego (computerized) that shoots like 30-40 balls a second was thinking of putting it on ebay and picking up the A5. (He is the one who told me to look at the A5 to begin with and was floored after he played a few rounds with it)
2-Cases shot out of mine so far... I will ***** when I break something

Re: Rate of cyclone problems
The only problem with the cyclone is the ratchet. I broke a ratchet during the game, luckily I still have my MR1 which saves that day!
