there isn't any other hoppers than that one. i think maybe if every thing works out how people want it to that ricochet will make one. there is a sticky above this that says help the cause and check it out it is about trying to get ricochet to do that.

There are two aftermarket "hoppers" for the A-5. One is just a remake of the Tippmann FA hopper that looks like an old Indian Springs hopper. The other is sometimes called the scenario cap. It is really just a cap but does take the place of the hopper and holds 30 paintballs in the cyclone.
A-5: 12" Ceramic, Egrip/WAS/Duel, HPA, MP5 sliding stock
SMG-68: 12" Ceramic
68-Specials(8): 12"&14" Ceramic, 12V Revy *** 1 Tip-n-Strip, 1 Blue, 1 FA w/Qloader
SL-68: 14" Ceramic
SMG-60 Ext. Line

true but you can't upgrade ... the cyclone can only feed at highest rate of 15 bps

You are talking about the Allenn Paintball Products hopper and pro-team's scenario cap.   Well the APP Is not even as good as the FA indian springs hopper.   The cap comes open, even falls off, and mine has been shot off.   I have two FA hoppers, one for my fa, and a spare I use on my A5. I loose about 20 rounds, but it has a better profile and way better built.

The pro-team low profile cap is a good deal at 4$ cause it simple caps off the cyclone I think thatr is neat. now if I could just get a holster :)

ONLY?  with no batteries, thats a respectable feeding.  and I don't really need to empty my marker in under 15 seconds.

well go to the "Join the Cause" topic at the top of this section and somebody's trying to convince a company to make an a-5 version of the ricochet g2k. but i have a ricochet and i tested to see if it actually ricochets balls. from about 40 ft. away i shot it about 10 times- i had a break on the lid hinge, the feed neck, the front tip, and few flat on the left side and a few flat on the right. i can understand the first few but the ones on the side shouldve bounced off. so i guess the only way that a ball wouldnt break on it would be if someone was low on air, really far away, or it just skimmed it at exactly the right angle. but thats good enough for me, its still a very reliable, fast feeding loader and i love it.
