1. They're all pretty much the same... VL 200 I suppose

2. Define cheap.

All hte gravity feeds feed at the same rate. I think that the best fairly cheap hopper is the Empire Reloader (1 o 2). They are sound activated and like Hella Cool said they cost around $50.

sounds about right

NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil.

I would personally get the ricochet AK instead of the reloader, same price, better hopper.

pssh empire ripped of Revvys just liked they ripped of HALOs

Get a VL 12v Revvy mine feeds 12bps and is a great hopper for a whole lot of guns.

It also depends on your gun setup, if you have no reason to feed more than 6bps a gravity feed is for you.

Check out the cyclone kit for your marker... no dead batteries... runs on exhaust air...  very cool.
