TKO feed questions

[Cornmuffin87]

okay, yeah im a n00b and this is my first post here!...now that thats outta the way, i have a question...i am looking to buy a TKO automag...but sadly i come to find the powerfeed version is only available LEFT! AND IM RIGHT HANDED! is there a big enough difference between power and standard feed that is crucial? i am wanting to tone down my ROF anyway, so i hope i dont shoot too fast....but is powerfeed worth it?...cuz what i might do is if paintballgear.com is willing to swap out the left powerfeed for a right powerfeed i will ask em...they prolly will charge me a bit more, but thats where u guys come in to tell me if powerfeed is worth it.

Well, since a TKO mag is simply a Mag kit(Mag + barrel, foregrip & bottomline), you could always order a HR mag from AGD or Modified Paintball, I'm sure Don could come up with a TKO equivalent kit. Or call them and ask if you can get a HR body instead of a HL body.

I'd definitely get a powerfeed mag over a standard feed (Says the guy with teh S/F Level 10).


HR means Hopper Right
HL means Hopper Left
These are semi-standard abbreviations used on AO

well, i just got an email back from pbgear and they wont let me swap HL to HR...they say they dont do special orders....arg....and who is this 'don' u speak of and who does he work for that he can make me a TKO equvelant mag?.....sorry, still in the process of submergence into the mag community...(im used to tippmanns...)

If your right handed you want a HL. If your right handed with a warp, you want a HR.

wait wait....i thouhgt if im right handed i want a HR....oh wait a minute....ya know...lol sorry guys, ive been completely stupid...i didnt take into consideration the hopper and where it would be...if i had a HR...the hopper would be right in my face....am i correct? so right handed = need a HL....?

[PyRo]

HL is hopper on left side, HR is hopper on right side.

[Cornmuffin87]

i realize this, but im just not sure why a right handed person would want a HL...

[Cornmuffin87]

oh wait wait i get it now....hopper left means the feed is on the right... correct?

Hopper left means that the hopper is on the left side of the gun. The hopper sits just slightly left of center so it doesn't stick out too far. This is perfect if you are right handed. At first it is hard to get used to if you have used standard feed guns in the past that have the hopper on the right. Putting the hopper on the left keeps it from sticking out like a balloon just waiting to get shot.

I dont wanna be confusing, but i'm right handed, and i prefer the hopper right body.

[PyRo]

I'm right handed, I used a HL untill I got my warp. When i traded for a HR, I played for a day with it and no warp, and it was kinda wierd. Most right handed people prefer HL (hopper on the left side), but a HR can be used. Does anyone have a pic of a gun with an HL, or HR, setup with revy and all to clarify this better

[Cornmuffin87]

ahh people! forget this HL and HR crap...tell me this : do i want RIGHT powerfeed or LEFT powerfeed? would a LEFT powerfeed be HR and a RIGHT powerfeed be HL?

Warp?

The question here is...Do you ever plan on installing a warp feed on it? If you aren't getting a warp feed, it doesn't really matter whether you get a left powerfeed or a right powerfeed. If you are thinking of getting a warp, you should go with a right powerfeed since you are right handed.

With that said, I have a left powerfeed mag that I run with a revvy and no warp that I absolutely love. I don't think I, personally, would want a right powerfeed on it after playing with the left one. I don't, however, have any plans of putting a warp feed on mine since I have a standard valve and play primarily woodsball.

You're making this too confusing.

HL = Hopper left = the hopper will be to the upper left of your gun

HR = Hopper right = the hopper will be to the upper right of your gun.

If you shoot right handed, you want HL. This way if you come out of the right side of a bunker (which is what rightys tend to do) your hopper won't be all out there to be hit.

You should get Hopper left

if you think you'll get a warp feed... listen to what magaholic said above this post.

welcome to the wonder world of AO

*rips hair out of head* ahhhh people...when you buy a body or a mag itself, it says RIGHT feed or LEFT feed....not hopper left or hopper right! hopper LEFT means the feed is on the RIGHT side, correct?!?!?!!?!?
