I prefer to pick people off withgun on my left side but sometimes my hopper gets in the way, espcially if I am looking though my Red Dot Scope. So that got me wondering do they make left handed guns or parts or something to put the hopper on the left hand side?

No, sorry.

You could just get a centerfeed though.

Tippmann does not offer lefthanded markers or parts. The reason so they say is that the demand for left handed makers is not there.

most people play switch handed, just site down the side of your gun.

I cant shoot with my right hand for whatever reason, i gues sbecasue its uncomfortable. PLus I have a red dot scope on it and when i look through it i see my feeder, even though I only use my cope in woodsball and some games such as Capture the Flag. Im thinking a Qloader nooine has it and even though I said im gettings a cyclone feeder, that isn't really going to help my left handed mess Im in. I might take a poll on see what I should get.

I was just thinking the same thing. Although almost no practical market, would be useful. I shoot right handed, but angle and sight down the side like a centerfeed.

Tippmann shows a left handed 98c on their site with an offset hopper on the left side. (obviously Iknw that their isn't such a 98c and its just a pic so no flming)

Why don't they just show him holding it pointing to his right in the first place.

Ditch the scope and shoot with both eyes open.  The hopper will disapppear with both eyes open.

Odd... I'm left handed and have no problem with the default hopper position on the 98 series. All that really matters is that you have a clear sight picture to shoot with.

Stop bumping old threads. Your opinion is worthless in a thread that has been dead for over two months.
