It's nice because of the inside that helps quiet the balls. Check it out on http://www.pbreview.com - www.pbreview.com ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

first off, why would they call a hopper , sniper, if there was no sniping, yes there is sniping in paintball. and i know they do not move around very much, but when they do they dont want to have everyone hearing their paintballs moving around in their hopper. ------------- Tippmann 98 custom flatline 12v revvy w/ x board java diamond grips |

Don't buy a ricochet, they say it deflects and they don't unless you hit it perfectly
I've seen many a ball go right angle and stil break Spend the extra $10 and get a better hopper (Revvy or Reloader) -------------

Ok just because the ricochet won't always deflect balls doesn't mean that it isn't a good hopper. It still feeds a lot faster than the reload and revvy and at least it has the chance of deflecting a ball. ------------- Signatures are **edited** |

Actually I'm pretty sure the revvy/reloader feeds a bit faster, I don't have too much experience with ricochets I just know when I was looking for a hopper and was asking around at the field most people didn't seem to happy with them. And stop with the sniper arguement, if the kid wants to call himself a sniper let him, almost all of us go through that stage when we start. My vote is you just get a 12v revvy, nice and light and works great. A few tips if you wana be silent... make sure your hopper is full before you move (if its not make sure its level with the ground and try not to move it around much) And fill your pods so that the lid is putting pressure on the balls, otherwise they will shake and that makes tons of noise. |

The sniper 2k is rated at 10-12 bps MAX Revvy is around 16, same with Reloader Wanna try again???? -------------

lol i guess u r right there are no snipers in paintball, you can dress up like1, but the guns arent accurate enough to be a sniper rifle. but still, u wanna be quiet, and when i play i dont really snipe, i am kind of a support player. lol thnx for ur oppinions.
