I'm working on making a backpack loader for my marker, and I would like to know how much tube a warp feed can push through before the feed rate slows to about 15 balls per second. I saw a paintball tank that had dual E-Mags hooked up to warps, and the hose was about 1.5 to 2 meters long. I know there has been discussion about backpack loaders before, but no real statistics as to how much tubing can be used.

Thanks

i think someone hooked up a backpack loader with the warp. if you are going to do it, make sure you get the 12v mod (or it may be 18, im not sure). itll boost the feed rate to 20, so there should be no problem feeding that far. i would also make sure you use dry paintballs and put some friction tape on the inside of the wheels. dont get the tape in the holes and maybe put some cereal box cutout spacers between the spindles and the gear to make up for the friction tape space.

personally, i think the whole idea of the warp is a good idea, it just needs more improvement.

good luck
