Anyone use one? It would slightly increase profile, but it would also be nice to hold another 20-30 balls.

I've held an A5 with one. Though it is nice to hold those extra paintballs, the gun does become quite taller.

i wouldn't get it unless u are going to get a body kit or milsim kit and put a sight on it and need it. it raises the hopper about 2inches up and over the extra 50 rounds really isn't worth that

I have pretty much every hopper and hopper pieces you could think of (except a 300 round loader cause I don't want one).

so yes I have it and I'm making it 1/4 inch shorter... and making my cyclone feed 1/4 inch shorter so it won't be that bad at all if I do decide to use it

Unless you want the extra capacity, stick an X-7 loader on there to clear the sight.

I wouldn't mind having higher capacity. My main reason behind purchasing one though is to keep my site rail clear. I just ordered a Ricochet hopper and I read that the design obstructs the standard sites.

I'd say get your hopper first and try it. If it's a problem, go for it. They seem solid enough for me, and cheap enough not to be a real loss heavy if you dont like it. Isn't the rico higher capacity than stock? If so, that's a lot of balls at your disposal. Alos, why the big font?
