I saw a guy at the Tippmann World Challenge that had a length of what looked like vaccuum cleaner hose duct taped the the cyclone feed of his A-5. He filled the hose with balls and threw the hose around his neck. That thing must have held a couple of thousand balls. It seemed a little clumsy though.
No need to point out the perfectly obvious, the merely obvious will do.

hehe for an A-5 hopper you could do the following

1) go to safeway

2) buy a large jar of applesauce

3) Eat all applesauce from inside of jar

4) rinse our jar

5) let jar dry

6) cut small hole in bottom of the jar

7) place jar upside down into cyclone housing

Vwalla!!!! one roughly 400 round hopper (if I had to make a guess)

Gladware with a hole in the bottom for an A-5 or vertical feed gun or cut it in the corner for 98.  Duck tape it to the gun.  It could hold a lot depending on the container.  Or you could just keep the paint in your pockets and hope no one slaps them while you walk around.          ;          Actually just go buy a hopper they are cheap.
