| Revvy would be the cheapest. You can't go wrong with getting a Halo B that way you don't have to upgrade later. |

| A revvy or possibly an evolution(egg). An egg will be a pretty choice. |

I hope you meant "Pretty Good Choice" because eggs definitely aren't pretty.... ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

I'm with RoboCop. Go with a Halo B, that way if you decide to upgrade your gun later one, you'll have a hopper that can keep up with it. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Eggs look a heck of a lot better when their attached to something throwing 10+ bps at you. ------------- 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 |

evolution 3 is a great choice. im thinking of getting one for my gun. they are almost as fast as a halo, but they are less prone to jam. so that is a good choice! ------------- custom pro e-trigger ---------------------- we are the gwagalagas!!! ya we're nerds, get over it. owned to the dome! socom clan: COG |

| In all my years of playing with my Halo B, I have not had one jam. Maybe people only get jams because they don't put the anti-jam beads back in. |

oh. they guy at my local field said that the halo would jam more. i'll be more likely to get that then. but for UF #1, either one is a good hopper. the evolution3 is cheaper. but for me i would get the halo b because i like the way it looks. ------------- custom pro e-trigger ---------------------- we are the gwagalagas!!! ya we're nerds, get over it. owned to the dome! socom clan: COG |

halo b/empire reloader b/vlocity/pulse are all the best and would never require you buying another hopper(unless your like me and just try different things all the time) |

I say, the View Loader Revolution with X-board. It's like 50 buck's and it works! As mentioned above, much better hoppers are available but in my opinion, for the price you can't loose. ------------- 98 A.C.T J&J 12" R/T Revvy Tapco Stock A5 Lapco Bigshot and J&J 12" E-Grip (A.P.E) Vortex Lightning Rod Q.E.P.H Richochet Hopper GTA Double Trigger Remote Line Special Op's A5A2 Stock |

| Commander- It's a little off topic but Zephyr paintball is a great place. That is where I have gotten my J&J and now, the egg 3 there. I had a little trouble shipping the first time but it is understandable considering they are in California and I'm in GA. Thanks for the help guys. |

It "sees" when balls stack up because you haven't shot. It doesn't just keep feeding balls when your not shooting (which results in chops). |

those kingman fastas look like they are a great product, but i know someone who bought one, played with it for a game, LOVED it, then slid into a bunker the next game and tapped (not even hard like a light slap or something) it on the bunker and it wouldnt work anymore after that. The most hoppers out there (revvy, egg2/3 and most other hoppers) use eyes to sense when paintballs are in the feedneck an stop feeding until you shoot and the eyes dont see and paintballs in the neck and the cycle repeats. sound activated loaders (which i HATE) load everytime they hear your gun shoot. i dont like them because if you are sharing a bunker with someone else their gun can make your hopper feed. and if you forget to turn in on before a game it wont load because it wont be able to distinguish your gun from the background noise of other guns. there are also other loaders out there like the ricochet that use a "sensor tab" which everytime a ball falls down the feedneck it trips the tab and makes the hopper load another ball. and then you have the Halo which im not sure how it works, but it doesnt use eyes or sound and loads the next ball as your gun is chambering the next one so you never get a gap in the feedneck, which supposedly allows it to be faster than other loaders. ------------- 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 |

| is there anything gravity fed that would keep up with an rt or no? i hate electronics, they beep too much and your batteries always go out when you need em |

I don't think so, other hoppers that could keep up w/o electronics are the cyclone and the q-loader... the q-loader loads ridiculously fast but costs more, and i heard can be sort of a pain to load, the cyclone once on your gun... well has to stay there. ------------- 2005 Freestyle Naughty Dawg Freestyle Angel LCD SP-8 Tippmann 98 Custom |

No loader I've ever used has ever beeped at me. Batteries don't die unless you're a dimwit and don't notice the low battery light or indicator. |
