How'd you do that HamburgerCat ? Did ya throw the box at it :-P

Since this is technically my thread, I'm giving myself poetic license to hijack it just for a moment. OK, the CycloneShock is an awesome hand cannon. If you've ever had one apart, you'll notice the size of the plunger tube, and minimal concavity. This thing moves a lot of air. The cylinder advance mech is a work of art. Somebody with a mind way more demented than mine did a beautiful job designing it.

That being said, I think the stock Mega darts themselves are cr@p. I've ordered a boat load of them from different suppliers, and the end result always seems to be the same. Whistling = inconsistency. I mentioned in another thread that I think the problem is the port they cut into the side, and the loss of aerodynamic stability associated with making the whistling sound. We need a whole other thread for that discussion.

So I bit the bullet and adapted my CycloneShock to Elites. It's not exactly cheap, but the results are stunning. It's one of my favorite blaster. When I'm jonesing for a plink, I almost always turn to my modded CycloneShock. The noise, the speed, the inherent smoothness of the mech, it's what turns me on, man. As an added bonus, I modified the shell to make it easier to load, and frankly, much more handsome.

So after all this rhetoric, I just want to point out that the CycloneShock has a lot of untapped potential. Stock, modded, reshelled, it's all good my friend. Ain't nobody dodging a dart from this cannon ;-)
