I just got done playing some paintball, and a bunch of the guys were telling me how their hopper piss them off when they are aiming. So as we were playing i was thinking about magazines for paintbal guns. You wouldn't have an elbow, instead you would have a spring operated magazine (sort of like the airsoft ones) for the foregrip of your a-5 or 98custom and then after each shot, the spring would push up a paintball into the ball detent (could it be on the side or something?), and your ready to shoot. Do you guys think this would work? Discuss.

-------------
It's best to restrain yourself from talking back to noobs, they're very territorial and easily angered. Then they will attempt to abuse you, with back up from other noobs, because they work in packs.

if you don't like the hopper there, then don't use a hopper.

yea, i have a few doubts about a spring loaded clip.  yes, its a good idea, but dont forget, springs only work cuz of pressure.  a rifle bullet or a bb can take this pressure, but a paintball cant.  but i would love to have a botom loading clip, im used to using machine guns and it would add more of a balanced and more realistic gun.  and besides, my 98 has one of those view-loader egg hopper things, and added with my use of a video cam usually my guns top-heavy

Ya that's what I'm saying, it's broken now, so now (now = present) you are saying that you play with a camera on your gun but you don't anymore do ya?

I'm just picking on you cause you're new here, don't take it personally.
