Is there any hoppers that feed 8-10 bps by design only, without the use of batteries?
I don't want to hear about the qloader, I'm looking for simple and light. Also anyone know what the feed rate is of a standard plastic rental style hopper is. I really don't think I will be shooting over 10 bps so Im looking for options.

On searching batteryless loaders I came across shake flashlights. Anyone ever powered an agitator and sound sensor off a shake battery.
I'm just researching ideas for my current build and compiling ideas. Feel free to share.

Unrealistic to use a shake battery. There is no such thing as a "faster" or "slower" gravity loader, only more or less reliable-feeding ones. The most reliable is a stick feed.

Archon claims theirs will do 12 bps.
I like my Sport Shot personally, feeds real well and its a smaller target.

Get a revy. Simple & light

I use one of the archons. With the little ramps in it you effectively get a ball stack that is about seven balls long (in either direction). I've chopped paint with it before using my single trigger mech, but a short quick string is usually on tap. You won't be closing a lane with it, but pretty good all things considered. The only reason I'm probably going to switch is because the thing is huge, and sadly my hopper is not a bunker. . .

Which is why I like my Sport Shot :-)

I'm actually thinking APP 150 rounder, unless the sport shot (I'll wait for the new one from KEE) is noticeably smaller than the APP. . .

I have both and I use the Sport Shot, its a smaller target.

Thanks!

Actually the opposite is true, the APP is a slightly smaller target ... width is more significant than height. I used to be a sportshot diehard and an APP hater but now that I have one, I can't go back.

It feeds really good too. The only downsides are the lame stock lid and narrower mouth.

width vs height...

looks like 6 in one, half dozen in the other.

+1 for the sportshot being able to be taken apart and cleaned. Better than my Indian Springs loader.

the APP feeds better than a modded sport shot

12v revvy with xboard and aftermarket paddles.

Pre-BE shells of course.

best loader ever made.

pick a pre BE 9-volt on Ebay. Modify it for the 4 paddle and then you have a consistent hopper that weighs next to nothing.

I have one of those APP 150 loaders. Don't use it, and can let it go for a reasonable price. PM if you want one. Thanks

how do you tell if it's pre be?
Could you link what your talking about.

The indian springs maxi's have a channel to help feed balls better though, thats why I use it on my pump.

I also have the archon hopper, but its huge, thats the big downfall for that one, otherwise it feeds nice on a mech gun.

yeah that thing feeds the worst, and the older Maxi 1 without the channel does better.

PRE BE means before brass eagle bought out viewloader

take your revvy, drop it on the concrete, if it breaks its BE plastic.

I love giving my definition ...

Flick it, and if it goes "pak" it's new shells and if it goes "thok" it's old shells.

A non destructive way to tell is if it has eyes engraved on the logo where its say View Loader...

I can't believe that no one even mentioned the fastest feeding gravity loader ever - the stick feed. May not have the capacity you're looking for, but it does feed faster than your stock $5 spleen-shaped slap-agitated hopper, as it has all the paintballs in one line and they're not jostling each other for the exit.
