Ok so    i know it uses gas to feed faster. (i think) But how much faster. i dont have enogh money to get a real good hopper. Does it work with a stock hopper? How much faster you my gun shoot with that and a stock hopper? is it worth it?

A powerfeed really works be not allowing blowback gas to "pop up" the balls in the feedneck. When you shoot, gas escapes around the front bolt and blows through the neck pushing up the balls. This results in a slower less consistant feed. If youve ever used a clear feedneck youd notice this. A powerfeed makes it impossible to blow the balls up and they just roll into the chamber rather than bouncing around first.

This doesnt mean you shoot full auto with a stock hopper and never chop. It just means you dont have to worry about chopping when your ROF is close or at the the hoppers feed rate.
