I am going to buy a '05 Superstock. Since my A-5 was my first gun i dont have a hopper and i need one. What package should i buy while being able to feed fast enough but being cheap?

Package A
Superstock $370
Eggy 2      $60
Z-board     $20
Total Price $450


Package B
Superstock $370
Empire B    $140
Shocktech Feedneck (Reloader won't fit in stock feedneck)   $30
Total Price $540

I still want my A-5 as a backup gun just in case my cocker breaks down

get a halo b instead of an empire reloader. its cheaper and does the same. also you can get them for around 65-75$ . and you should get a new feedneck anyways so it isnt so tall
what?

yea go with the halo b. you can find parts for them everywere. and I dout you will ever out shoot the halo b from the cocker (not saying the cocker is slow, just saying the hopper is/can be fast)

 
1 paintball gun package=$150
1 case of paint=$50
air & entry fee=$15

I loved my Reloader B a lot more than my stock Halo B.

Since they are almost identical, parts for both can be had pretty much everywhere.

If you can get over thier awful design and poor build quality (not to mention, a stock Halo is faster than a stick modded and Z-boarded Egg will ever be)

Empire loaders are sound activated i believe, which i here turns cockers into blenders because they make two clicks when they cycle.

If your detents are bad, yes.

yeah I heard the same.

cockers and empires = blender-gun

I dont really see why a detend would make much difference. it just has to deal with the way cockers cycle, clicking both when it goes back and forward.

 maybe im thinking a different kind of detend.
