    what kind of hopper do you use?

    so i recently got a ninja reg that makes my mag rt super easy, ive used a vlocity jr forever and while at the park this weekend i decided to see how fast i could shoot it, i put it over the crono and started rt-ing my gun, i hit 13bps and then seen that a ball broke just above the breech, so the question is... do i need to tune my level 10 for brittle paint, or might it just have been my vlocity couldnt keep up with the rof? thanks

    I used a evo and had to switch to a Pinokio once I got the SHP, then I was out shooting that with my Emag so I had to go to a Rotor. No chops since the rotor. Although I can out shoot the rotor with my Mech mag and SHP when I really try (29 bps), so I went to a Qloader for that.

      For me I really like the rotor! I think it's the best hopper you can have!

        Rotor here too, but I think that these days you might be able to squeak out as good or close to for less money if you're buying new, used you can still score some good deals.

            The level 10 should not chop, regardless of the loader. That's actually the only use for it with a powered loader. Either the loader doesn't keep up or you get to the end of the ball stack that the loader can push on.

            If you're going to shoot that paint often and you are sure of your detents, you should consider a stronger bolt spring.

                  I've been looking for a rotor for a bit now but I keep buying new parts for my mag build...I will probably get a new one since used don't go for much less than a new one...I will also try a stronger bolt spring too... thanks

                    depends...

                    ...on the marker. I have different hoppers for different markers.

                    Evil Minion 06: Reloader B
                    PM5: Halo
                    Minimag: 12V Revy on an Intellifed Warpfeed
                    Auromag Classic: intellifed 12V Revy

                    I also have a gravity hopper I used to use with my Spyder and Model 98. I have a 45-round Brass Eagle hopper I use with my pumps. I have an Evo II that I used with my Prodigy. And I have an Apache that I bought to use with my 2k Autococker but I never got the damn cocker to work so I primarily just use the Apache to continually test the Cocker (that never ends up working).

                    By far the best is the 12V to Warp. The only drawback is the weight.

                    I'd say the Halo is second, but it has the tendency to go "on the fritz" at horrible times during gameplay. Nothing like exposing yourself and realizing your hopper turned itself off.

                    I actually like the Intellifed 12V Revy next best. It doesn't eat batteries, is easy to maintain, and I've never outshot it with the Intellifed Mag.

                    The Reloader B I'm still getting used to. The sound activation sometimes messes me up...especially when you're just testing it out. But the feed rate is excellent. It doesn't like my rebels though...they keep getting stuck in it.

                      I still use my old revy, it was originally a 9v revy converted to a 12v xboard'd revy. Still seems to work well enough for my slow fingers.

                      I have a halo as well. Ive used it once, broke paint in it & am still having issues with trying to reassemble the thing.

                        Everyone seems to rave about the Rotor, but I'm too darn cheap to invest in one. Currently, I use a Halo as my main loader. It's not evern the V35 and keeps up with me fine. I do have a V35 one, but it seems to eat batteries like crazy, so it sits in my gear bag as a backup. I also have a Revy Tripod in case all heck breaks loose and I can't get either of the others to work.

                          I use two and have a backup
                          I use my revi with my slower guns, like classic mags, cockers, and pumps (with pumps i usually use a pocket hopper)
                          I use my pinokio with my emags and xvalved mags. I love this hopper

                          My backup is an egg III, its quick and was inexpensive...

                            After shooting every hopper out there I can say I have had issues with every hopper I have owned, except one. My rotors. I won't use anything else with an electro.
