I'm not a fast shooter, i'm like more of those one shot kills type of people,
but i do occationally want to let out a few quick bursts. I wanted to know whats a good hopper to get that is faster than the stock, but not electronic. P.S. i already kno about the cyclone feeder, i want to kno about other ones |

yep. The revvi is your best choice. The only hoppers that will be faster than gravity feed, and are non electronic are teh Qloader, and the Cyclone. -------------

Revvy is a good choice. Yes it's electric but its worth it. ------------- A7X 4 LIFE! Synyster Gates=GOD

The only hopper that fits your criteria's is the Cyclone (and Q-Loader, but that's just plain overkil). So, if you want to stick with what you want, get the Cyclone. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

Whats your price range? Your going to have to get an electric hopper or the cyclone if you want faster. |

If you don't want to deal with batteries, you're really limited to the cyclone or q-loader. My reccomendation would be the cyclone over the two, if you rally must avoid batteries all together. I've never been a big beleiver in depending on bateries, and if the cyclone had been avaiable when I wanted a faster hopper for the 98c, I would have gone with the cyclone. I'f you're looking into middle end electronic hoppers, I'd reccomend an Empire Reloader over the rico AK or 12v revvy. Especially if you try to play with some degree of stealth. I've had trouble with both hoppers aggitating when they're not supposed to. My rico would do it if I lifted the gun to take a shot or moved my gun in a lot of ways since this would trigger the bend sensor(I actually had the 2k model, with the reload alarm and game timer that only went to 20min, you either needed one on or the other, so it HAD to make noise), and the revvy aggitates when you're out of paint or tilt the marker, making noise or telling other players to bunker you. The empire feeds faster and only aggitates when you fire, since it's sound activated. |

why dont u want an electronic hopper? a revvy would fit u better then perfect...they aren't expensive....and they will let you throw 12 balls a second which is plenty for u being a "sniper" ------------- 02 cocker-sold ion max flo progressive clamping feedneck 47/3k tank revvy |

| How about a Halo TSA? They seem decent, if not somewhat fragile. That or an Empire Reloader would be my bet if you do go electric. |

Ive got the empire ReLoader II and its awesome. 14 bps for the price
you pay is great . Also sound activation is real handy. Never once had
it go off without me wanting it to. Please don't say "it's 12 bps" because the box may say that, but ive seen people shooting consistantly 14 and it kept up just fine. ------------- CPro (w/ polished internals) 14" Bigshot BT SBS Various Rails NcSTAR D4B Macro AA 68/45

I know this post is a little old, but I hope I am not too late to help this guy out. Why dont you go for the new Turbo Loader? It is mechanical, $35 in http://www.actionvillage.com - www.actionvillage.com or straight from the manufacturer. And feeds 12-15 balls a second. That actually sounds perfect for what you want. It requires a quick 1 minute set up that hooks up to your gun and uses blow back gas to feed balls similiar to what the Cyclone does. http://www.bargainpaintball.com/hoppers.html - http://www.bargainpaintball.com/hoppers.html http://www.pbreview.com/products/reviews/3955/ - http://www.pbreview.com/products/reviews/3955/ http://www.turbopaintball.com/turbostart.html - http://www.turbopaintball.com/turbostart.html -TheMedievalMan ------------- Why make a one shot kill?

I would only trust the cyclone for now if you don't want batteries... It will grow with your marker anyways, it'll last 'till 17-18 bps and then you can spend $10 on a QEV and get it to 20bps+

why a vert feed? theres really no point except for profile reduction, which doesnt seem to be a problem. my bro has a Halo B and it works great on his 98c. ------------- CPro (w/ polished internals) 14" Bigshot BT SBS Various Rails NcSTAR D4B Macro AA 68/45
