Okay, this would work best for slow paintballing. Anyway, tippmann paintball guns should use the same paintball holder as the handgun type guns where there's a tube on the top.

Just like in the stupid game Halo 2, the sub-machine gun's magazine is attached to the side. It would be awsome to have a tube thing that attaches to the side and feeds in the paintballs with a spring. The ONLY problem would be the loading and lack of a lot of balls. But for the covert type people it would be perfect. It also would make the gun look a lot better and there wouldn't be a rediculously large hopper in the way of your view. Anyhoo, it's possible to make one of these things. I just wish that Tippmann would make something like this.

Actually a q loader isn't all that great. It still adds a lot of wieght to the gun, may be better than a hopper but also doesn't look so good, and it's really expensive. My idea would still work for certain conditions, so the q loader wouldn't be as great, only for certain game play.

What makes yer idea no different on what the Qloader is about....and as fer it adding weight....are you one of those whining weaklings that complain that the marker weighs like a real firearm?

Try working out, grow some muscles and you wont be whining as much.

He has a good idea, but you can just get a low cap hopper for the A-5 from www.opsgear.com for like $8.50 S&H included. tho, it is just the top of a 140rd pod.

That is the stupidest idea ever. Tippmann shouldn't make their guns like that. If anything it should be an upgrade.

Or we could just make a 15 round tube out of PVC and have it gravity feed.  Oh....wait a minute.....that sounds like the stick feeders we made when I first started playing years ago.  Disreguard please-old age flashback.

Oh Ive tried being nice, but do they ever learn to comprehend on what the search option is fer, apparently they dont and if you think Im the only one....stick around son, its a very common response in the forum.

And yes they sell tubes fer markers, but only to spcific markers like pumps, the 98c was not design to accept tubes, unless someone modded one to have it work.

Now, would you like to argue or find a solution to this thread.

Brandon, I'd suggest looking into buying a Phantom pump gun. They have a 10, 15, or 20 round paint pistol style magazine mounted on the top, and there are some neat upgrades out there for them. With that limited a capacity, you might as well play pump anyway (you can really rip a pump if you've practiced with it- as fast as a lot of noobs will fire off their semis) and you'll find that playing pump will greatly improve your aim and your game.

As for this setup on a semi auto, you just won't see it outside of pistols. I agree about the 'ridiculously large hopper', which is why I'm gonna get a Qloader in the future. It's my next purchase.

Do use the search function though, before posting ideas.
