Valley paintball, wonderful news!! I am going to rush to the store and buy one that does the exact same thing as my hopper now does. All it is good for is making the a-5 look different. Now don't be hard on people that have a crap load of posts because if the have that many posts I am pretty damn sure they know somethin about paintball, probably a little more than you think they do. Also evil fingers is right it is essentially just a new holder or "top" for you cyclone. It doesn't enhance or decrease the performence except for the added amount of paint.

ok well ur right n ur rong it is still a hopper... its listed as a hopper.. so that is what it is.. and ive noticed when i play paintball with my a5 that a majority of the time i get out its cause i get hit in the flat spot on the stock a5 hopper.. same thing with my friends who have a5's so with the ricochet there is barely a flat spot on the nose n a better chance of the paint just bouncin off so... say what u want i consider it an upgrade and will no matter what people say

well i never thought about that but im sayin the shape of it is good because of the angles less paint will break on the hopper.. unless u hit the penny size circle on the ricochet i bet it will bounce right off so thats my philosophy

Because it's called the Ricochet and is supposed to ricochet ballswithout breaking them.

It's also nice to have options on how your gun looks.

Also, it's all about the size FROM THE FRONT, not the side. I don't know about you, but getting shot in the side of the hopper should be a rarity....it's a good rule of thumb to try and keep your opponents in front of you.

You guys also want to know something? I'm a member of the A5OG Inner Circle, a Platinum member here, and I did NOT know about this hopper shell!

So thank you to the author of this thread, and try to be a little more civil for everybody else in this thread...just because something doesn't help you doesn't give you the right to give someone a hard time.

Valley, don't argue with You Wont See Me. He's one of the most
knowledgeable forumers on this site, and he knows his stuff.

I'm actually going out in a little bit to pick up one of those.

^Uhm, no. Just because someone has more stars or more posts doesn't mean they are not to be questioned!

In fact, I would say ValleyPaintball was the victim of some snide remarks when all he's trying to do is help people out.

I can honestly say the info about the new hopper shell helped me personally,while the smart-assed comments did nothing for my intelligence or paintball game...just kinda annoying. Especially from a Gold member.
