Whats Your Hopper Of Choice ?

[splat15k]

I'll throw my vote in for the prophecy as well; very reliable and easy to clean.

Dye Rotor gets my vote
Its fast , very durable and easy to take apart and maintain.
And it runs on three AA battery.

I have several, several loaders. The one I like the most is the Magna, with the Magna shell. I really like it's weight and balance. After the Magna I'd say the Torque and after it, my VLocity. For the slowest guns, the Revvy.

Now, if I'm playing pump, I love the small 50rd APP, then the Sportshot (although it's a little bulky) and the Winchester.

I LOVE my Rotor on my Tac One. Keeps up with the higher Flatline tank input and higher RT effect and super light ULT set-up.

Simple, reliable, no programming, just turn it on and go. Looks good. Feels good on the gun and well balanced.

On my non ULT, X-Valved Classic Mag, with standard 850 input tank, I use an older Richocet Apache or Revy with X-Board.

I've been using a pinokio for a few months now. Had the rotor, had the prophecy and I love my pinokio. Its easy to clean, I've yet to change batteries, you can run water through them and the capacity is a huge advantage on the field.

[BenoitOWN]

I use a rotor, my mag doesn't like to have revy on top(it open the lids when fired .. annoying)

[captian pinky]

i rock the rotor and revys(2 12volts old styleand a 9v)

[Frizzle Fry]

I havent heard of any issues with mags using Rotors. Might want to also check the feedneck to see if there is something up with the way the loader sits in it. Also might want to check the detents.

I've had problems with any sort of forcefed loader on any of my mags; my level 10 tends to be slightly more picky unless I adjust the detents, and then I end up with doublefeeding issues as they work more and more loose. In the long run, it doesn't seem like you an outshoot a Revvy/Fasta/Pinokio/Apache when shooting at legal speeds (or 5bps above legal speeds) so I guess I don't see the point even if I didn't encounter problems?

[punkncat]

That doesn't count as three votes for a revvy, punkncat.

Although I agree. I'll probably stick with my revvy forever. If for some reason I ever need to outshoot that, I need to examine my strategy, not my hopper.

Sorry, server issue...totally unheard of

[gunman_2000]

Only had a Revvy, old one too so it'll never break. But I find that I am starting to outshoot it pretty easily. I love it cause its simple and reliable, and really I don't need to shoot that much anyway.

Otherwise, the only hopper I own is a winchester, and as far as pumps go, its all I want and need.

[jforbes555666]

Rotor, but I always will have a Revy for back up

[IrishRedneck86]

My vote is for the Rotor due to ease of use and maintenance not to mention I put the batteries in my first rotor and played for almost 6 months straight playing every weekend not having to change the batteries once although I still have my original B2 with a hybrid shell and virture crown as my backup

[Ravenneon]

I've run a 9v revy forever....then got a 12v revy. I modded my 9v for my warped tac one. The 12v I run with my minimag. And recently I got a Ricochet 2kx which I love. I've never owned a force feed hopper.

[Watcher]

I own: 12V Revy, Ricochet AK, Rico Apache, and a Halo V35 which is my only force-feed hopper besides my warp-feed..

12V never let me down, on anything, still my all time favorite hopper. Just wish it fit my warp better. Still, was the first aftermarket hopper I ever bought and it's still on original shells, lid, and internals.
Almost every time I use my warp it has a Rico on it. I normally use the Apache, but earlier in the year a friend used it and broke half of the feedneck forcing it into his gun so I've been using the AK. I repaired it once and it broke almost instantly, I repaired it a second time and it lasted me a day of play. I finally just the other day dremeled the other half down to match the cracked half and got it on the warp with the little half inch of what was left of the feedneck, I'll see how long/well it holds up.
The AK has some stripped screws but it holds together fine with some hockey tape.
Finding Rico shells is impossible and complete hoppers are rare, which sucks since many are still using their internal design without the warp-friendly shells like Spyder, Tippmann, and even Pinokio...

Used the Halo once, jammed like crazy but it was a very hot/humid day and I was shooting RPS Evil that was improperly stored in a semi trailer for the whole weekend (LL3). I was able to rip-drive it to get it to feed, so it isn't a total bust, I'll have to see how it works in better conditions. I like how it works, I like the eyes, I like that I can set it to only 16bps, and I like the lid, I dislike the weight and the battery choice. First thing I did when I got it was 9V mod it. The weight I really can't change.
Really I keep it as a loaner and a backup hopper, if I ever get a vert-feed electro I'll use it primarily on that. As of now my speedball gun is a T2 so the Revy is fine on that.

The Rotor is by far my favorite.

Aside from the ease of use, teardown, cleaning, maintenance and general indestructibility, I noticed something whilst poking around my local shop looking for another hopper that runs on AA batteries: the Rotor is like 1/2 the size of everything else. Well, maybe 2/3s, but the profile is so ridiculously small and tight relative to everything else.

I haven't had a hopper hit on my Rotor yet, and I'm usually the guy everyone's gunning for when I play - lots of crossfires, but more targets for me.

I've had the same 3 Sam's Club AAs in my Rotor since about April and it's still going strong. I usually play every weekend and go through about 1/2 to 3/4 of a case of paint.

If I could only have one piece of my gear and had to rent the rest, it would be a tough choice between my Profilers and my Rotor.

Honestly, I like it more every time I play with it.
