I recently tried out the "sniper hopper" idea, and I got some felt, cut
out the pattern, and hotglued it to my hopper. It works great! I put 50
paintballs in my hopper, and shook it, and you could hardly hear them! I was wondering if they would feed down quick enough, seeing as the felt is somewhat sticky; but they do. They fed perfectly for my T98, but I don't know about the full autos. I would recomend this to all! A very cheap way to improve your game. My friends all said they would give me 10$ buck to do theirs.  |

Just expect to have to redo it fairly regularly.
Over time, the felt will soak up oils... which will weaken paintballs stored inside... which will result in breaks. |

I can imagine this idea being even more helpful in pods; the only way to get them to stop is to pack them so tight they break or get flat spots. -------------

you can cut foam to fit your pod lids so that the balls dont rattle, and it wont crush them either, you may reduce your fill count by a few balls, but makes the pods quiet. -------------
