ok i got this idea while daydreaming in 5th hour (where all my ideas come to me at)and i got the idea for a giant hopper. they make super soakers that have a big tank on the back to hold water. well a paintball will fit down the hole too. you can cut a hole in the top of the tank to refill it with and at the bottom you can sand it down to fit on a warp feed. then put the feed tube from the warp to the gun.it will probly hold 1000 or so rounds. and plus you wont get shot in the hopper unless someone is behind you. or  ?------------- "She's the one who keeps me all excited, she keeps me begging for more" Never Leave-Seether |

not bad, the only problem i can think of is that it would be bery heavy and bulky, and unbalanced, ur gun would be really heavy in the back ------------- http://www.freewebs.com/paintball_things - novice paintball help (If you own a tippy and your new to paintball, this site may help) Jesus is my friend DO NOT say"sniper"here! |

how would it be heavy? it would make your gun lighter. and 2000 balls isnt that heavy. ------------- "She's the one who keeps me all excited, she keeps me begging for more" Never Leave-Seether |

Good idea but I'm not sure I would want to play with a hose going to the top of my gun. It just seems like it would get in the way. If it could come to the bottom of the gun or something then maybe it would work better. ------------- You can go far with a smile. You can go a lot farther with a smile and a gun.

| i dont think it would work to well because if this giant hopper were gravity fed and a hose ran from its bottom to the top of the paintball gun how would the paintballs get into the gun u would have to hold the gunlower than the hopper which would be a pain in the butt |

| the warp feed will not work it is not strong enough to move all the balls along that long of a hose |

I saw something similar on a website a few years ago. An ingenious college student used a coiled up hose in a backpack to feed his marker. He had a 20 oz CO2 attached to the opposite end of the hose and would open the on/off valve so the CO2 would push the paintballs to the marker. The system held approximately 1000 rounds. It was a pretty clever idea, but I wouldn't want to reload it myself. -------------

its a good idea but if a ball pops u r dead and u would make a lot of noise when u move. so overall i dont think that this invetion would be convinient ------------- Tippmann A5 Flatline Adjustable Stock M16 Carry Handle M16 Mag Kit Live in south florida and love paintball? talk 2 me if u no any fields |

not to mention it would cut down on your manoverability. having a pack with a hose straped to your back makes getting around a lot more difficult |
