A-5 Hoppers (whats the dif)

Money isn't an issue since I'll save until I can afford it, but I think with some planning I have been able to max out everything else so now I'm down to upgrading the hopper.  From what I can tell these are the options and what I think let me know what you think and why, I'm mostly looking for a lower profile, and want to keep a majority of my ammo capacity.  I'm on the fence for most of them so a little push either way would help me decide, ranked from highest to lowest.

Tac-Hopper - Holds decent ammo, lets me keep the cyclone, but looks like it may be flimsy? Cuts a decent amount of the profile

Q-Loader - Heard good and bad, don't mind learning how to use it best, Cuts the most of profile.  Biggest concern is, is there any noticeable loss in accuracy due to the dimpling caused by spring pressure on balls in magazine? Also don't know if the irreversability of the mod will keep me from buying it.

X-7 Hopper - It's interchangeable right? looks like a squashed A-5 hopper so thats a lower profile.

Richochet - Same as stock but shaped funny to deflect ball breaks?

Don't know the name - I saw something that was a tube that holds 15 shots on the top of the gun, right above the barrel.  15 shots is too few and looks hard to reload.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

the no-namer your talking about i believe is called the longbow setup but i dont think they have a tippmann version yet....i own the tac cap and isnt filmsy but it only holds a little paint...not good unless you snipe..but its really low profile...personally for you..id pick the x-7 one

if you get the rico or X7 hopper you'll get what you want.

either will give you less profile and you'll keep your ball capacity.

i dought you will get the full 25bps but it will be around 22-23bps max

and as said up top you should get the richorchet* or the X7 one

and i think your new question is gonna be smoke or black lol 

Didn't care for the Ricochet.  It broke after about two weeks of play.  It isn't nearly as sturdy as the Tippmann hopper IMHO.

You can't snipe anyways because there are no snipers in paintball.
