Well my Reloader Hybrid(Revvy Shells w/ Reloader Guts) is starting to
get kinda worn out latley... New Batteries dont really Help it
Feed much Faster, and When I was Just messing around with it with a
Friend, it Chopped like Mad and it was only going at "MAYBE" 5bps
so I dont want to replace my Revvy's Guts Agian, I think I'm just ganna
go with a whole new Hopper.... I dont need something Extremly Fast feeding, just enough to get me by when I Turn my Air Valve Open to where I like it(around 6-12pbs, maybe 14 when I'm board or want to impress some one) I'm Having Trouble Picking out of of these Hoppers to Replace it... I'm thinking of Going with The AK but I want to hear others peoples thoughts before I do so... -------------

Well i have an Ak and its great, but i would probably go with the halo TSA just because its sound activated and has that tilt sensing thing which from what i hear is nice. I wouldnt get the egg i dnot really like them they look like weird. -------------

EVO II. Great hopper. Its a force feed. So you will always have balls stacked in the feed neck, ready to go. Easy to find extra shells and battery doors and stuff. And if you need to make it faster, pop in a Z Board for $20 bucks. -------------

| the Ak is a great hopper. the HALO TSA is great also. if you were to get the TSA get the backman one. |

Ight... Well I have heard to many Fall apart things about eVLoutions, and people say bring some good Duck/Electrical tape when you go because the batterydoor or lid snaps off like a Twig. -------------

^^^Exactly!^^^ I can't stand the Evo! It fires fast, but too many players have complained about broken battery doors and the larger profile. Not to mention my p-ball store is asking $150. I went with a TSA myself and have no regrets. It was only $10 more than a revvy, and its sound activated! ------------- Tippmann 98 Custom GTA Response Trigger Crossfire 68ci 4500psi Palmers Stabilizer Male Halo Frontman Smoke LED 12" All American Smart Parts Wood Grip Grey VForce Profiler |

Pick your poison but I think you'll regret the choice later. Halo is by far the best loader on your list. I sold my reloader and am prolly gonna get one. ------------- blame it on the irish.... |

If you can't afford the Qloader ($80), then definately get the TSA LCD. Get the backman, the profile is actually not bad and it holds 220rds, always nice when you don't have to carry a lot of pods. Let's see, an LCD backman would be around $65-70. ------------- MIDN 2/C, US Navy LCE-SpyderMag | G-Force Pneumatic Mag | '99 RF Sniper II |

the tsa is a great hopper. i shoot a max of 16bps (when im angry) and it just keeps up. the tilt feature is very nice especialy if theres less ammo in the hopper and more balls to one side. i have the backman version which is huge (sig V). it holds over 240 balls meaning less reloading but more wieght. the frontman version is about the size of a revvy and holds about the same. it also is very cool looking., and the LCD version has three speeds and good features. and its also got a magnetic lid, just drop it and its sealed. very convienient.
the ak is also a great hopper. not quite as fast as the tsa, but for your rof itll keep up. the deflection design realy works too. and this too looks awsome compared to most round ugly hoppers (evolution). i got my tsa on ebay-$41 -------------

the eggy feeds faster and costs about the same, ive heard bad things about the halo tsa. all it really is is a revy with tilt the tilt feature. ------------- A5 with lots of expensive milsim stuff |

What! The revvy is outdated with its sensor, while the TSA is sound and tilt activated. In the end you can't even compare the two! ------------- Tippmann 98 Custom GTA Response Trigger Crossfire 68ci 4500psi Palmers Stabilizer Male Halo Frontman Smoke LED 12" All American Smart Parts Wood Grip Grey VForce Profiler |
