Would it be practical to say, cut a hopper in half, then cut 1 or 2 more hoppers into pieces and glue them together to make a 300-400 ball capacity hopper, or would this make the gun too top heavy?
If my answers scare you, perhaps you should cease asking scary questions.

what kind of gun do you have? on this site, they have a 300 rd. loader for normal guns, and then a 400 rd. loader for the cyclone...hope this helps

98 Custom. R/T, Cyclone, x-chamber, polished internals, milled, painted, etc.
nothing special, but gets the job done.

I do suggest just buying one though because they are shaped a little different to hold the paint in a slightly more compact package, and not only that it will probably be sturdier.

It's in my user name. I have a BT4 Ironhorse. The downside is that the cyclone feeder isn't out for it yet (or at least this is what I've been told).

they make over-size hoppers... ive seen 300, 350 rounds ones...

and bigger for the cyclone...

i'm assuming that since you shoot like crazy you want a big hopper so you can lay waste to everyone in your path...

the point is not to have to reload so much

Well, there is a downside to having a big hopper, one it has an extremely large profile. So just get some pods and if your worried about reloading lengths just get a speedfeed, because I don't know about you but i can reload easily in less than 5 seconds without a massive hopper or a speed feed.
