Rotor hopper

[manike]

We've been considering it. With the system we have built into the Prophecy it would be easy to extremely accurately regulate it's feed rate...

The SPPL has hoppe limitation?

[manike]

Yes. I was reading their rules earlier. They are kind of complicated when it comes to what guns and what loaders you are or are not allowed.

[garbageman705]

On a side note, I have a very low opinion of the pinokio hopper as well, totally not impressive, unless you want the newest version of the riccochet apache with removable nose. El douche.

Hahahahaha
So true.

[B-Pow]

I just looked up the rules...and they are quite lame.

Long story short, if you have a non assisted mech or pump (no electronics at all, no responce, no pnumatic trigger) you are allowed any hopper you wish.

If you have electronics, responce (reactive triggers), or pnumatic assist triggers...you are only allowed basic gravity or any agitating hopper with an advertised feed rate under 15 bps, and no force feed hoppers.....

Except you can use the Q-loader on anything...which is force feed and has advertised feed rates that break pre-existing rules. Makes me wonder where the warp fits in those rules. And why they bother to have an approved hopper/marker list when they break their own listed base rules in their own hopper list.

I'm not sure why they go through the troubble since they state clearly that their games are capped at 15bps, and they allow full auto at up to 15bps if the field allows it.

It does seem a little strange, but I'm hoping we can see some common ground and work with them and their rules.

I finally got some video software that works well with my new camera and just to prove my point that this ISN'T the same material or design as the older Halo/Empire loaders...

y'know what i love about paintball? Is that despite our multi-million dollar industry, its still perfectly acceptable to advertise the merits of your creation with a dude, a hammer, and a video camera.

No multi-million dollar flashy pants advertising...just "look! i smaked the hell out of it with a big hammer, and it still WORKS!!"

I will admit that is one of the cool things about this game/industry/sport.

The cooler thing in my book is that the people twards the top are REACHABLE and a large percentage are more than willing to have polite discourse with the average joe rec player.

And what's really cool is many of us in the industry would love you to come out and play alongside us, or even against us. I still get a kick out of playing with people in the industry, myself!

I love playing, especially at big games, and am always happy to talk paintball with everyone. In fact I love doing so. Many people in the industry do. Find Bob Long and ask him questions, he'll talk your ears off for hours! Or Dan Colby from Air America, or Glenn Palmer from PPS, or Viper, or Blue from EMR. All great people to hang around and chat with and readily available at events last year (and this year coming).

I'm going to be at a lot of events all over the country and usually even carry something special for those that take the time to say hello or play with/against me.

I'm tall and sometimes I might look a little serious, , but I really do appreciate it when people take the time to say hello and talk paintball with me. Sometimes things are hectic at an event (World Cup), but the Scenario and Big Game events are great for hanging out and chatting. Even better when we just blew the opposing team off the field.

I can't wait for EMR, D-Day, and similar events next year!

is there any way for us to get shells made from the same material for our current halos/reloaders?

There are some shells for the Halo which are not the same material as the Prophecy, but are much better and much lighter than the current shells.

They are called the "Superlight" series.

They are actually made from a very similar material to the original revolutions.

The performance from the Prophecy body doesn't just come from the material, but also from how it's designed.

Oh I know once you get someone like that talking...they don't stop. I've been friends with a mag author/vidographer for a while...when he found that I started playing, well lets say the floodgate opened.

I did enjoy using his e-mag though.

Good point. Totally agree.

I spent about an hour and a half BSing with Simon at the Pump Pandemonium game at EMR this year. While I didnt get to see the turbo blender in action, he is great to talk to. I can only imagine adding a few adult beverages to the mix
