ok so my tippmann a5 just eats up all my gas and then after like 20 shots the cyclone feed stops working. everyone told me to bring it to a pro shop and i prolly will. but does the cyclone do that when theres little air? or is it just a bad egg?

Yea, when your CO2 tank becomes low, the response shuts off.
I had to borrow a 12 oz co2 tank from a field, the RT was off after two shots.
What size is your tank, paintballfreak7?

Yeah, just to back up what he said, my backup is a Custom with an RT; and it inhales gas like it's nothing. The RT will turn off towards the end of the tank when the pressure is low, so I probably have roughly 50 more shots until I'm totally out, if that.

I gota A-5 WITH RT that F***er sucks gas. Make sure you check the WHOLE cyclone set up. take the thing apart. and i mean every thing youll find it.

The cyclone is powered by the excess air from a shot so when the air pressure gets too low it won't feed. Assuming all your tanks were filled correctly it could be a cracked power tube.

it just seems to eat more gas cause it shoots faster now... my mistake
