Not bad When I played I got one hopper hit the only downside is when its full its kinda heavy but I have the body of a japanese school girl (and i'm 14) so Yah the way I see it $25 on a giant hopper or $60 for a new NXE podpack ------------- Help support the Youth In Asia!

Get some olive and brown spray paint and do a shredded/tiger stripe pattern.

its not that I don't have money (even though I don't) its that I can save money so I can actually play (unlike some people on the forums)

this is my first time ever painting anything so I'd rather get this down before I start to do anything fancy I might try the tigerstripe on my stock hopper ------------- Help support the Youth In Asia! Member Of Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band |

 i painted my hopper in a tigerstripe pattern, and since the hopper is plastic the spray paint is just fine and held well. i would use a very fine grit sand paper to scuff it ever so slightly, then tape off and paint. i recommend Krylon paint, has all kinds of colors, even matte camo colors and its like 5 dollars at wal-mart. but being 14 you have to have someone older buy it for you. HA, hope that helps

| i bought this stuff it is a matte clear coat, get matte otherwise it will be shiny, thus negating your camo |

I personally like a flat black hopper, I think any sort of hopper painting or ghillying or whatever sorta takes away from the gun. Pre colored hoppers are cool though, I just don't like the usual unclean look of painted hoppers. EDIT: forgot to tell you though, as I have shiz on my hopper I'm a hypocrite! -------------
