New Hopper Idea

You know when you hold your marker, most people will have alot of space between their body and the back of their marker. What if I could design a marker, that had hopper atached to the back of it, but doesn't stick as far out as a tank. It would load the marker through where the bolt would have been. The way he ball will be feed would be by a vacuum. A vacuum will suck the ball out and then air would just blow it out of the barrel. I just need to figure out how to make a vacuum in a marker.

you should check out the design of the epic. it has a trap door instead of a bolt. i made up a really rough design animation a couple months ago of an idea i had.

Animation

But my thought was to make it hold atleast 180rds and be able to be pod-fed.

personally hate warp feeds.

and 100 rds isint bad considering the average hopper holds 180-200.

with practice you can change pods quick

too bad i had to cancel my qloader cause the storeowner was a dumbarse. also the company that makes them is really bad

I understand. It would be right on the back of the gun. Like straight out. It would be odd for a way to hook up the feed to the feedneck.

Kinda like
     V feedneck        & ; ;nbs p;      V back of gun

^^^thing won't work even after editing. basically the order is in a straight line
gun-hopper-mask

The best way I see is a q-loader, but I wouldn't want to do that either.

You could make a bracket that mounts to the back of your marker and then put a warp feed on it. The warp doesnt have to mount on the bottom of your marker.

detrevin, is that a warp feed Rainmaker? is that monstrosity your?

it looks rather strange but I bet it actually works pretty good, you would just need to get used to the loopsidedness, and forget ever doing a hand swap.
