Would it be practical to say, cut a hopper in half, then cut 1 or 2 more hoppers into pieces and glue them together to make a 300-400 ball capacity hopper, or would this make the gun too top heavy? ------------- If my answers scare you, perhaps you should cease asking scary questions. |

R/T, Cyclone, x-chamber, polished internals, milled, painted, etc. nothing special, but gets the job done. |

I do suggest just buying one though because they are shaped a little different to hold the paint in a slightly more compact package, and not only that it will probably be sturdier. -------------

It's in my user name. I have a BT4 Ironhorse. The downside is that the cyclone feeder isn't out for it yet (or at least this is what I've been told). ------------- If my answers scare you, perhaps you should cease asking scary questions. |

they make over-size hoppers... ive seen 300, 350 rounds ones... and bigger for the cyclone... i'm assuming that since you shoot like crazy you want a big hopper so you can lay waste to everyone in your path... ------------- 98CP ACT R/T J&J Ceramic 14" Egg II w Z-Board GTA Inline X-Chamber NCStar Red-Dot Pen Spring Mod Trigger Stops Polished Internals Dye Sticky Grip 20oz Co2 w On/Off Next Up: Spimmy |

Why the hell would you get a bigger target to hit? Get pods -------------

the point is not to have to reload so much ------------- I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell |

Well, there is a downside to having a big hopper, one it has an extremely large profile. So just get some pods and if your worried about reloading lengths just get a speedfeed, because I don't know about you but i can reload easily in less than 5 seconds without a massive hopper or a speed feed.
