New magazine idea.

I just got done playing some paintball, and a bunch of the guys were telling me how their hopper piss them off when they are aiming. So as we were playing i was thinking about magazines for paintbal guns. You wouldn't have an elbow, instead you would have a spring operated magazine (sort of like the airsoft ones) for the foregrip of your a-5 or 98custom and then after each shot, the spring would push up a paintball into the ball detent (could it be on the side or something?), and your ready to shoot. Do you guys think this would work? Discuss.

i was considering do ing one in the exact same way you are talking about a while age.

You should check out this thread.

if you don't like the hopper there, then don't use a hopper.

You play with a broken video camera on your gun?!?

Ya that's what I'm saying, it's broken now, so now (now = present) you are saying that you play with a camera on your gun but you don't anymore do ya?

I'm just picking on you cause you're new here, don't take it personally.
