Strength, Swiss bearings allow extremly easy movement
Weaknesses:
None thus far.
Review:
The stock plastic piston in my cyclone broke at the TechT ratchet so I got this to replace it. The installation of this product is straight foward and pretty easy. Took me about 15 minutes and I was taking my time. The roller bearings on the Lightning Rod make that fulcrum extremely easy to move, it is 500% easier to move than the stock piston. .
I have only tested this product for a total of 4 hoppers worth. so about 800 paint balls worth. First had the marker set to 18 BPS and was getting some skips, none of the balls were breaking at all. So it could have been the pop corn effect of the cyclone turning so fast.
I then set the marker to 17 BPS, at 17 the gun was flawless, not a skip or break. Two more balls per second is a lot more than I was thinking it would be. I was hoping for more like 20 bps but I think that is a bit overkill anyway. With all the ups on the cyclone I would have liked to get a higher rate of fire, but the upped rate of fire, consistency and lack of breaks makes me happy.
Conclusion:
This is a must have if your looking for more BPS out of your cyclone, smooth movement for better cycling.
i dunno then, it could have just been the chrono we were using differed in quality, I was using one of the big red ones at feilds and i dont know how accurate they are for bps
Mr. Baggins, please watch the video again. The A-5 is capable of going 25 bps, but the cyclone is not. They had a Q-loader pod system installed on the A-5 (extra $500) in order to attain those speeds.
