i'm finally gonna spend the cash and get a motorized hopper. i've been shooting the old gravity feed until now. i was looking at the q-loader system, but murphy's law steers me away from it (as well as the price tag) the halo b is real popular around hear and everywhere, but idon't really need 23 ball/sec or whatever. i was kinda lookin at the backman by halo too.
what kind of hoppers do you guys use/suggest. i'm not afraid of spending the cash if i'm getting something reliable. |

wut kind of gun do u have? i say just go ahead and get a halob,empireb,velocity because any gun u get you can still use the same hopper so if you get something cheap now then later on if you get a better marker than you will need a better hopper |

id say get a halo, even if you dont need to feed 20+ bps, its still a good reliable hopper and the other choices are like egg hopper which breaks soooo easily and those cheap vl ones that feed 10 bps. I got a used halo with rip drive for 80 bucks and it works fine.

get a VL Revolution. It's the most reliable. and it's light almost as light as a gravity feed....

VL makes eggs. I like the VL Revvy. They're cheap, pretty fast and light. I have a richochet 2k Hopper, feeds 14 balls but I might get a revvy because Their only about 40 bucks.. They any faster then a richochet? |

you didn't specify the type of gun you are using, but i'm going to assume that it's the one in your sig. i'd recommend the cyclone. it'll feed as fast as you'd ever need, and it would keep your gun mechanical if you want to go with an electric one, i'd suggest a halo. if i had a dime for every person i knew with broke eggy shells laying around their house, i'd probably have a dollar or so... |

You might also look at the Empire Reloader II. I've had one for about a year now and it's always worked great. They're cheaper than a Halo but a little more than a Revy. I think I got mine for $55. |

One shot, One kill.... Oh, wait. What fun is that? TEN shots, one kill, and a bunch of welts on your back.

I'm going to pick up a VL Revvy soon. I dont shoot to fast, but any electric hopper is better than gravity. If I do decide to shoot faster, the Revvy should be able to keep up. Look into a Halo B or a Revvy. |

Theres nothing wrong with eggs... When people say they break its because the battery cover falls off....

If you are shooting mech, then Revvy is your best bet. Only exception might be the Cyclone, particularly if you play woods (lower but wider profile).

does it really matter how heavy the hoppper is, i mean your going to hook up a tank to your gun anyway and your going to fill up the hopper with paint, so can you really tell the difference? and like they say on the angel g7 fly ads, "Its a whole 2 ounces lighter than the regular g7" OMG 2 ounces im going to spend $1,250 to get the new one becuase its a whole 2 ouces lighter!!!

Yes. The hopper sits up high, and the weight is quite noticable on the balance of the gun. Take a gun and switch between a Revvy and a HALO, and you can easily tell the difference. |
