It's pretty pointless if you ask me. It just adds extra weight to your gun maing it off balance to the left side. Yeah yeah, you can basically shoot it upside down, but for how long, 5, 6, 7 shots or so, so can the Halo. And it can only feed as fast as the hopper you put on it.

Yes, it may drop the top profile of your gun, but if you learn to tip your hopper in there won't be a problem. Plus, if your shooting over the top of a bunker, your head is going to be sticking out just as high as your hopper, so it kind of doesn't matter there.

The Warp is a very cool idea, but I feel that it is pretty outdated and pointless now. I have only seen them hold players back recently on the speedball field.

Basically I would say, save your money, buy a good hopper and vert feed your gun. Learn to shoot both lefty and righty and you will completly negate the need for a Warp.

I disagree with most of what you just said. If your head is as high as your hopper when your lookign out of the top of the bunker then your doing something wrong. Mine sure deosn't. I think the warp is a good idea. And if you need insane speeds for people like milkman then its the way to go. I'm liking the q-loader better then the warp feed though. But its what you like. And the gun shouldn't be that off balanced. With it being on the side.

How shouldn't your gun be off balanced with 3 pounds of hopper monstrosity hanging 4 inches off the side? I have held a few different guns with Warps on them and they all pulled down towards the left side. Plus you can't shoot left handed with a Warp.

I don't like them as I said before. I like symetrical guns. That way there is no excuse for favoring a certain side of play style.

And as for shooting over the top of bunkers, if your barrel is just over the top of the bunker, your eyes are going to be pretty much level with your hoppers centerline thus making your head and hopper pretty much level. Maybe your head will even be higher than the hopper, in which case, hopper height no longer matters. But your head should never be below your hopper unless you are lying down in a snake or shooting super funky. The hopper above your head will only lead to getting nailed in the hopper everytime you think your under cover. I can't tell you how many times I wasted people by nailing their guns from feed neck up because they stick their tank right on their shoulder shooting their hopper 6 inches above the top of their head.

So basically, learn to shoot tight and proper, and a Warp will only hold you back.

Hey, actually I don't have one yet. But i'm thinking of getting one. Did you order it from like http://www.paintballgear.com - www.paintballgear.com or did you order it directly from the site. If you ordered it directly from the site I dont' see why it would take you a lon gtime. Try emailing them and see whats up. If you got a ups code then go to http://www.ups.com - www.ups.com and put in the number sot hat you are see if it has even left. I haven't had that prob lem I have used both countyapintball.com and paintballgear.com and I ordered about 100 dollars worth of stuff from both of them. If you need anymore information give me an im at aol at bonesk8er609. Hope that helps man. Get some pictures into the photo gallery once you get your q-loader and tell me what you think about it.
