I think that all hoppers should have a button that you press to open it would make pod filling much more efficient try and picture a dye lock pod but using that on a hopper

There's been times when I've clipped a bunker and my hopper lid's opened, dumping all my paint.
But then again, I'm a moron. |

Actually in the earlier versions of duct tape, it was used to make a waterproof seal on footlockers in the military and it was origionally known as "duck tape" it wasnt until later that people realized you could use it on duct work that was when the new name "duct tape" was origionated. push button hopper lid while it is a good idea it isnt very practical because most people dont have trouble opening a hopper lid |

A button would be a lot quicker than a strip of duct tape, but if the button was on the side, and you then forgot and layed the gun down on it's side... Lid opens. Or of the button was on top, and you went to raise up and hit a limb, top of a bunker, etc. and your paint spilled. I believe that a good ol' strip of duct tape keeps it closed better, and electrical tape works too! lol. Anyways, DUCT TAPE 4 LIFE!
 lmao...

We arn't having a problem opening them. The problem is keeping them closed. I actually really like this idea. Go for it. |

i use just a regular viewloader hopper, it always stays shut. you just need to check to see how well the lid stays on before you buy one. some of 'em fly open real easily, some of 'em you never have a problem with. the one my gun came with opened real easy so i just got a different one.

wait godhead and stop thinkin so hard ull hurt urself ur chances of bumpin a hopper open without a button is a lot greater in all thos situations, than hitting the button on a hopper in thos situations
