    Well on my RT i run the Halo on all the pumps i run the revvy, sport shot, APP, or stock class. The revvy will be on more than the Halo (double duty on the pro-carbine and loaner duty). I tried the Rotor mabey it was just me but i hated the feel like the magna just to far back. It worked flawlessly though.

    EDIT: Warp fed minimag favorite for head turning.

        I'm sure there will be a slew of post about how its not a hopper so it doesnt count, but ever since I decided to give a q-loader a try last winter, I will never go back to a regular style hopper.

          Still rocking my revy. I play primarily woodsball which means I'm playing against a big mix of guns, but mostly things like A-5s, BTs such. I don't find rate of fire to be as big a factor in the woods as it is on a speedball field, mostly because you're engaging at longer distances most of the time.

          That said my revy can get up to 10-12 bps no problem.

            But 15 seconds of consistant 15bps can't hurt at those distances either, lol.

            Nah, I hear ya. I rarely shoot over 12bps in woodsball, even though I easily can. If they are so far away that I need to shoot a lot to hit them - I get closer. Much closer...

              I use a empire reloader modded into an original 12V revvy shell, best setup there is. You get the durability of the revvy shell and the sound activation/speed of the reloader kit. I also have a halo B for my faster shooting.

                Yeah, the thing in woodsball is that I could throw a hundred balls at someone...but if I'm so far away that they have time to DUCK before the balls actually reach them...I'm kinda just wasting paint.

                To be honest the times I shoot the FASTEST are actually when I'm running and I know I won't hit squat unless I increase my odds a little, and also to give myself a little suppression while I'm running to the next bunker.

                  For my X-mag, or any other gun, I prefer to use one of my Revvys. I've got a Rotor for a backup that hasn't seen any use from me.

                    I always use my revy. Bought it roughly 10 years ago. It began life as a 9v revy, then swapped in the xboard from a 12v revy at the same time adding a jms? impeller

                        Prophecy. My only complaint is the magnetic lid, it pops open on rough landings. I need to look into getting stronger magnets.

                          They make a snap lid for it....

                            Or you could get a speedfeed.

                            I currently have 3 hoppers (excluding the gabillion gravity feeds I have).

                            I Have an Evlution 2... It was my first hopper, back when I was uneducated. It has worked great for me, though. The lid design isn't spectacular, but I never chop with it. And the only times it got damaged was from user error (I broke the speed adjuster the first day I had it, tightened it down too far; and I cracked the shell near the feedneck by accidently throwing it onto tile).

                            I also got a DXS Pulse. Got it from a co-worker for 10 bucks... feeds as fast as I'll ever need, and it doesn't weigh too much. Unfortunately, I can't use the cool field stripping capabilities due to the amount of damage the shells have sustained... The tray is held it with packing tape. I don't really like how it boots into the RF mode,seeing how none of my guns has an RF chip.

                            And I just got an Empire Reloader. Not the Halo, the revi. The seller blatantly lied about the shells (the battery door barely stays on, and the feedneck is broken in half) but I like the fact that it's sound activated. I haven't used it yet, but I'm fairly certain that it's going to be my favorite.

                              Well the problem I was having wasnt the Rotor.
                              Somehow the trigger pin had fallen out and I didnt notice it.
                              I had sone 1/8" round stock I picked up at Home Depot so I cut
                              a piece and replaced it.
                              So the Empire B is retired and the Rotor is the go to hopper now.
