Just wondering if anyone has used this hopper or knows anyone who has used it. Any feedback would be great.

works ok if you have a blowback gun, since it needs some recoil for it to work properly, so if you have a tippman 98 or spyder type gun you'd be ok

it's pretty much just a gravity fed hopper. While the "new-fangled design" may help a bit, you're still going to have to shake it periodically and you'll be lucky to get over 10 bps reliably.

Got a couple as freebees. Read that as "CAN feed 11 bps", not "feeds 11 bps continuously". They still jam (and need shaking)...they have to with two opposing streams of balls going to the neck. They are nice for a large capacity gravity loader. I wouldn't expect 8bps continuous.

I got one for my gun, and they don't feed perfectly as they still need some sort of jar to get them to feed once in a while.

15 bux for a gravity hopper and that guys voice is truly annoying.

I bought one to try out. The lid can be a pain to close and once its closed it can be a pain to open. It still needs a shaking every once in a while to get a steady feed. I did like the tough plastic its made from though, I wish all hoppers where built as strong.

They shouldn't be more than about $5, thats what I sell them for. They are better than a normal gravity feed, but they do still require some shaking.

I have been using this hopper for a few months now and I think it works well. There are games where I never have to shake it. But as noted above, every once in awhile they do need a little shake.

The lid could be better. Hard to close all the way.

They do seem to made of strong plastic.

For the money, it is a great bargin.

I might get one from you if you.



Guys thanks for the input it reaaly helped.


Chris,

I still have everything but the intel. I have parted the mag into two seperate guns. I will get some pics.
