I believe it holds the hopper on so that you dont have to worry about it flying off when diving or running....am i correct?

well, haven't you ever lost a hopper when you dove or something? I've
never used an A-5, but the 98c does a pretty good job of holding the
hopper on. I think it would be useful on a spyder, they are prone
to hoppers falling off.

| Some hoppers are just a bit small even with the screw all the way tight. I had to use tape to hold on an egg once because it wouldn't stay on my 98C, and yes the screw was as tight as it would go. |

Well if his feed neck is anything like mine, it doesn’t tighten enough to hold a full hopper on to the gun while you are diving for a bunker, I have to use duct tape. -------------  Join the XP Re-Revolution!
