There's a couple things going on there Mojo. The 8kg spring is pretty stiff. My other Cyclone has a 7kg spring. Impressive how a little change makes a big difference. But I was definitely undercompensating. Plus, those videos are literally the first time I fired it. I figured whatever happened, I'd get it on tape. (dating myself there)

I'm also a little gentle with these tuned up Cyclones because I've already broken a plunger. Mind you, the "allen wrench" fix should permanently solve that problem, but I suppose I'm just being cautious until I've proven that out. So far, so good.

I know it doesn't come across in these videos because the iPhone mic filters out high frequencies and has automatic gain control, but these Cyclones are incredibly loud. I can't stress this enough. They hurt my ears. Clearly there's a lot of internal stresses going on there. So maybe I am treating them a little gingerly. For no good reason.

Bottom line, since fixing the plunger rod issue, these Cyclones have been rock solid.
