Ricochet R5 was a great idea, but the plastic it is made of has to be the cheapest most fragile plastic out there. What a piece of junk. |

Are those the pointless "Uber 1337 paint shield" hopppers? Nice concept, crappy outcome.

To my knowledge, the A-5, which I presume you're using, feeds at a rate of 15 balls per second, which is set by the spinning capability of the cyclone feed system. Therefore rendering the R5 useless, correct?

I believe the whole concept behind the R5 was to impliment the "Paint deflecting" angles into an A-5 hopper. Which, BTW I think that whole paint deflect is a load of bull. |

^ thats because it IS a bunch of bull...if you suck so bad as you have to put money into a hopper that is known to "deflect paintballs," then you should be practicing tucking in all the time...not shelling out extera cash so you can take the easy way out...

I own the Rico AK for my M98C and I think it's a great product.
Maybe they made the A5 shells out of crappier plastic? Anyone with a Ricochet electro hpper and the A5 shell care to compare? |

I remember when this whole forum was raving about this hopper and encouraging everyone to buy it and now after a while its been out everyone is realizing how crappy it is lol. Guess this is a lesson to all of us that u take risks buying just released products tat have no reviews n all

Well, this is the first I've heard about it being crappy, so I'd like to get to the bottom of things before I write the hopper shell off as a piece of junk.
