    Warp feed and Dye Rotor?

    Has anyone tried this combo yet? and if so what were your thoughts?

    I've never seen the maximum feed rate of a warp, but I'd doubt it could keep up with the rotor.

      waste of time.

      If you cant hit someone with 13bps you are not going to hit them with 43 bps.

        warp doesn't really have a "max" speed. the rotation is the only limitation, but there is nothing stopping you from running the warp faster. it relies on how fast it is being fed from above.

        the "flow" if you will though the system is limited not by the warp feed, but how fast the warp is being fed.

          yep, ball stack is the major limiting factor for the warp. Hoppers just couldnt stack the balls fast enough.

          dont see it ever being needed on a normal paintball gun, but it would be sick on a backpack loader feeding a gatling gun for scenarios(wouldnt have to be gatling, but it would be more fun that way). Have the Rotor feed at the bottom of the backpack and the warp mounted to the gun. Hopefully the Rotorcould apply enough pressure to keep the warp fed all the time, and the warp would increase the stack pressure to keep the gun fed constantly.

            I like the idea of the rotor just because of the massive battery life.

              That and how easy it is to break down, and the spring ramp.

                Ya, but it must have an upper limit.

                  I was really asking as far as compatibility.
                  The rate of feed is nice but I really like the easy breakdown, long battery life and nylon body. Just wondering if it is worth it in others opinions.

                    The warp was rated by Havoc at 24 bps in 12v mode. Since the Rotor is rated at over 50 bps, it should be a good match to the warp, even if the Rotor bps has been hyped a little. I'm not saying that it has but bps is overstated on a lot of products.

                      Idk about 50 bps, but if you look on youtube there is a video showing the rotor on a dm9 shooting 40 bps, and this is using a high speed camera to prove it. I would also like to state that it is a waste of money considering that you will never be allowed to shoot that fast in a game, EVER.

                        I agree that no one would ever shoot that fast, but that is not the point. The faster a loader can drop paint the more likely you won't outshoot the loader. If you're shooting around 20bps and your Halo drops 35 bps then there is a chance however small that the Halo may have some kind of hiccup and have a dead spot that doesn't feed. It can only fill that space when it recovers at 35 bps, but the Rotor is faster and may be able to fill that gap before you're shooting air. Now I know that this situation is unlikely and I agree with you that I would be satisfied by slower loaders but some people are way ahead of me in trigger speed.

                          Now what I want to see is a full-nose pinoccio on a warp

                            so how well does it actually fit on the warp? does it leave enough room for your hand? will it fit well with the tube on the front?

                            Im needing a new loader and not a huge fan of the halos so im looking at other options...

                              Unfortunately, I don't know of anyone that has that combo. I use a Ricochet Apache. The shape of the front of the loader makes it look like it was made for a warp. I don't shoot all that fast so the Apache is good enough for me.
