Gurus,
I was perusing the March APG magazine and saw an article on a pump player. Since I love pump and limited ball I was enthralled...BTW there is a rare picture of a guy playing with a pump mag...anyway, there is a WGP sniper and it has a limited (40-60ish round) hopper on top. I want one. No, it's not the old school ammo boxes, it has a really modern viewloader look to it...anyone know where I can locate one? Any help would be great!

I'm pretty sure those are the same hoppers that come stock with the BE plastic pump guns. 45 rnd clear hoppers right? If anything try your local walmart.

Edit: Did a little searching, found this:

i call them pocket hoppers. The one snertz posted comes stock with brass eagle blades and talons. I use one on my mag when i'm just goofing around at my friend's field

There are several small hoppers out there, but th BE one is the most common. You can always check ebay, see them on there all the time. And I have that magazine too lol.

Thats the BE Pocket Hopper. They cost about $2-5, so get it at walmart or somewhere or else you'll pay more to ship it than it costs.

Do yourself a favor and never get a BE pocket hopper (clear style shown above in this thread). They don't feed well (Even compared to other grav. hoppers), have a very weak plastic, and WILL break easily. Tony got popped right in the front on mine and it put a nice hole through it.

Try looking for the old WGP style that has the speed gate so you can reload with 10rd tubes. Or the old BE style with the yellow cap. Either of those will feed better, and are made of plastic that will not break.

those would be great when doing a team practice. Maybe I would get one just to practice with.

Thanks for the ideas guys.

the stick 20 round mag from Spec Ops has a certain appeal

Ive seen those before, really want one. Not sure if they would work on any thing else with out a little modifacation, could be wrong though. But for that price I could just make my own, thats a little to steep for a tube with a spring in it.
