I think I've mentioned a couple or three times before, I have a CycloneShock adapted for Elite darts. I love it. Well, I ordered a Worker spring upgrade for the Cyclone and it came in the mail today, so I found a few minutes tonight to install and play, er I mean test it.

Two observations: 1) the Cyclone's already massive plunger tube, combined with the reduction to Elites produces some pretty wild shots, 2) that same Cyclone with an improved spring is completely unpredicable. We have a phrase in my industry that comes to mind - I think I've "unhanced" it.

Even with the most accurate darts I have (those CloudCloud suction darts) I couldn't hit cr@p at 20 feet. The other thing I noticed was the noise. It's loud. Really loud. Wake up the wife and spook the dogs loud. Neighbors calling the cops 'cause there's been a murder next door loud. OK, maybe that last one was an exaggeration. But it's friggin' loud. Ear protection loud.

I'm tempted to grab another Cyclone from inventory and see how it performs with Mega darts. See, there I have tomorrow night's agenda already set ;-)
