    Posted: 16 November 2004 at 7:32pm
I was fiddeling with my paintball marker when this commercial came on for a new baby bottle system. It's a bag that deflates when the milk comes out of the bottle(I'm sure that you have seen it) Well I got to thinking and I wondered If there was a hopper system that has the paintball in a bag like the bottle system, so that when you moved the paintball didn't make a loud noise. Is there a system like this out there? If not, why doesn't someone make it!?

a silent hopper would be nice, but your have to find a way for the parts to work without making noise, and metal and plastic rubbing against eachother is hard to make silent sometimes. As for the bag idea, I have no clue what your talking about, but if it works, make it lol. Ill buy.

That idea has been thought of already and is already in use in the Ricochet AK Hoppers.

Felt would probably work. You can get it at any hobby store.

I used felt in my Tippmann Hopper with great success. It didnt look the great but did the job well, no more have full hoppers that made to much noise. And Richchet made something like that with a new hopper, the bottom has a "Noise Proof" covering. Why they didnt put it all around inside I dont know.
