Yea its been ahwile since Kreeper has been on here. He was a great guy.
And actually its not a new hopper. You still have the cyclone, its just a new top for it. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

ok.. cyclone holds a few rounds(5) on and the so called top as u called
it will hold about 200 so... it is a hopper and will always b a
hopper.. dont think u know everything just cause u got 4796 posts.... i
actualy wonder what u post 4796 times cause from what ive read doesnt
seem to show u know alot about paintball and it is called a hopper on
every website ive seen it and everyone calls it a hopper.. u must feel
really stupid huh

| Valley paintball, wonderful news!! I am going to rush to the store and buy one that does the exact same thing as my hopper now does. All it is good for is making the a-5 look different. Now don't be hard on people that have a crap load of posts because if the have that many posts I am pretty damn sure they know somethin about paintball, probably a little more than you think they do. Also evil fingers is right it is essentially just a new holder or "top" for you cyclone. It doesn't enhance or decrease the performence except for the added amount of paint. |

ok well ur right n ur rong it is still a hopper... its listed as a
hopper.. so that is what it is.. and ive noticed when i play paintball
with my a5 that a majority of the time i get out its cause i get hit in
the flat spot on the stock a5 hopper.. same thing with my friends who
have a5's so with the ricochet there is barely a flat spot on the nose
n a better chance of the paint just bouncin off so... say what u want i
consider it an upgrade and will no matter what people say

| there are ups and downs that hopper is bigger than the current stock hopper and people cokplain about how big a target the a-5 cyclone and hopper are so why stick a bigger hopper on there? |
Posted By: valleypaintball

|
well i never thought about that but im sayin the shape of it is good
because of the angles less paint will break on the hopper.. unless u
hit the penny size circle on the ricochet i bet it will bounce right
off so thats my philosophy

Because it's called the Ricochet and is supposed to ricochet ballswithout breaking them. It's also nice to have options on how your gun looks. Also, it's all about the size FROM THE FRONT, not the side. I don't know about you, but getting shot in the side of the hopper should be a rarity....it's a good rule of thumb to try and keep your opponents in front of you. You guys also want to know something? I'm a member of the A5OG Inner Circle, a Platinum member here, and I did NOT know about this hopper shell! So thank you to the author of this thread, and try to be a little more civil for everybody else in this thread...just because something doesn't help you doesn't give you the right to give someone a hard time. |

^Uhm, no. Just because someone has more stars or more posts doesn't mean they are not to be questioned!
In fact, I would say ValleyPaintball was the victim of some snide remarks when all he's trying to do is help people out. I can honestly say the info about the new hopper shell helped me personally,while the smart-assed comments did nothing for my intelligence or paintball game...just kinda annoying. Especially from a Gold member. |

Thanks for keeping it on a positive note... if peeps don't like the thread, wait for a new one that trips your RT... I have new A-5 and I'm glad to get info that will help my game... I got the A-5 because of the low profile... boucing some paint off that low prof would be pretty cool. Anyone seen it actually work?

Actually, I live in Central Coast California in a house, not a cave...though I am a savage and I'm absolutely positive I could live in a cave with no problems. I choose not to. Here's a suggestion to you: Why don't you go put an EVEN BIGGER(and more newbish) scope on your A5, so you can be an even bigger sissy and longball from even farther? That way you can be the l33t sniper I know you can be. |
