    ULE + evlution 2 + shortened feed tube

    I've been pondering upgrading my body to a ULE, plus sticking an evlution 2 on it. (What is it with paintballers refusing to spell anything correctly?)

    However... I have a question regarding the feed tube and feed rates. I realize that the longer feed tube sort of acts as a "ball buffer" of balls ready drop in and fire, but how long of a buffer is adequate or necessary? (Particularly considering no powerfeed to reduce the effects of blowback.)

    The reason I ask is because I can see possibly cutting down the feed tube, at least on the evlution, so that the loader eventually sits right on top of the marker. Maybe I could not even rely on the feed tube itself to keep the loader on the marker; perhaps I could attach the loader right onto the ULE itself, sort of like attaching a sight to a gun with the dovetailing on it. Of course... the ULE's obviously don't have the dovetailing...

    So basically, is the loader going to be able to hold its own with a shortened ball buffer under it.

    I think if this were possible, it'd make a pretty nice reduction on the profile of the gun.

    I did exactly that and I have had no problems with my egg keeping up. i only probably hit 10 bps or so, but still no probs.

      cool

      You don't have a picture of your setup do you? I'm curious as to how it looks.

        Sorry, but I don't have a digital camera. I just measured it though, and you can only see like 1/2 of a paintball through the egg's feedneck, and the battery door sits less than an inch off of the top of my valve.

          I did it on my E-mag I cut about a half an inch to begin with and the hopper sits alitte over an inch off the top of my body I'm about to cut another half inch off the feed neck again to lower the hopper just alittle bit more. But I've had not problems out of this set up and love the way it looks and feels.

          totally recommend it.
