'`~_ A-5 Cyclone Feed Question _~`'

[Ambushsnipe]

Mmmk, if I have a Cyclone feed on my A-5 with a response trigger will it still go 17bps? And what's the average bps? My friend say it wont...but will it?

The Cyclone maxes out right around 17bps. Whether or not your RT will make 17bps is the real question.

On an A-5 with a mostly stock air feed system, the best you can hope for is in the 12-14 bps range. That's about as high as I can get my R/T. Your cyclone will have no problem handling that. With just a Vortex in my cyclone, I can pop the E-grip on, set it at 20 bps and let it rip. With the R/T hoses still in place and adjusted, I doesn't skip a beat.

Well.. It also determines on your air supply. If you have about 800 PSI running into the marker and you have the stock A-5 with stock cyclone feed, well the cyclone feed will crap out on you around 12 BPS...

However, you can upgrade the ratchet, add a QEV, mod the cyclone feed, get a higher pressure output (somewhere in the 1000 PSI range)

Well... If you can get all that... You'll have the A-5 purring like a kitten, but balls breaking within the cyclone itself is likely to follow...

So back to the main point, yes it can...
Stock, no
Modded and time invested, yes
necessary? Depends on your needs and your style of play.
