Hey man don't feel bad bout the hopper thing, the new BE revy's will do that even at indoor velocities(250 and less) Believe me, I saw a guy buy a brand new revy, take it out of the package and put it on his marker. He went out to play his first game with it, and with the first hit it shattered. The guy that shot him was about 30 ft away. I have an old VL2000(pre BE) hopper, and I have taken hits at ridiculous FPS at close distances, and not so much as a scratch. I think the hopper is more at fault than your marker spiking too high. Be makes the shell too thin and that just invites this kind of problem. Just my .02

yeah, it was a clear VL200. I dont think VL made any clear hoppers pre-BE. Makes me glad I hung on to my oldschool VL-2000 loader. I think i take more hits in the hopper than anywhere else, and not a scratch (maybe just a sign that I need to get a warp...)

the worst part of this whole story is that the poor kid had a full hopper of paint, or should i say a hopper full of paint? :)

about the same thing happend to a friend of mine... he didnt have a hole or fracture in his hopper but had a hopper full of paint plus a broken elbow... he was pretty mad, i thought it was funny
