Update: Tippmann A-5 with TAC-CAP Q-loader MOD

Posted to the A5OG.

The long and short of this mod is it looks great but doesn't work well. The Q-loader pushes the balls into the TAC-CAP with sufficient force to either clog up the balls in the top, or after modding the feed tube to push them down, it clogs up the cyclone feeder.

This mod would still be possible to fix by adding some kind of a ball channel that directed the balls single file to the bottom near the breach. The only reason to use the Cyclone feeder with a Q-loader would be to have a reservoir of balls available when changing out Q-pods. So, this mod doesn't work. The good news is it only cost $14 to find out.
