Which hopper looks the best or the coolest...

I wanted to buy clear shells, (got new ones today). Problem is, NPPL outlawed clear hoppers, so all the little series' follow the leader, and no one can use em. I got smoke, which doesnt look nearly as cool, just in case I wanna play NEPL.

Well you know they always said "Solid Color" in the rules but they never seemed to have a problem with clear before. I was under the impression that it meant no multiple colors so they could tell hits and such. That they wanted them one solid color. Not polka dotted and such. And no stickers outside the prescribed ones in the rules. And they never had enforced any thing like no color at all part of that. Wonder when they decided to reinterpret that and why? The rule was always the same and clear was not something they were aiming at when they wrote that rule. Interesting. Tell me were you heard this interpretation. It could indeed have alway been interpreted that way. They just didn't.

the tsa is really a wild loader, i own a halo B a couple pre BE revies and my brother has a ric....but yeah when it comes out im so gonna get one of those TSA's and probably put my other loaders to bed

cut down the neck and I think that the evo 2 is dead sexy!!!!

ya gotta hand it to veiwloader for going out on a limb and trying something new like a foward feed neck and a more rounded shape. personally I give it a thumbs up especially when considering weight.

I used a halo b and even then had some jam problems then I used a richochet and actually If I did not buy my egg I still would be using it because it looks like its trying to be a stealth bomber

gonna have to say halo b

Best is the Halo's. Look well designed and somewhat futuristic.

Worst is the Rico, it just looks like a crackhead designed it.

The Mach 404's almost as bad, I'm surprised it doesn't com in a 'Ridged for her pleasure' version.

I vote for Rico. Definatly give a sleeker look to my warped minimag.

The halo is blimp-ish but it has some nice lines on it. The revy has a basic design that doesn't have anything ugly. The ricochet is overkill IMO, it's too busy because of all the faces... and the mach 404... yuck... I have no clue what the quantum is so I won't comment on that.

I say the tsa is the best looker... It has faces, like the ricco, but they have been streamlined. The lines look much cleaner due to that. The hopper has a better looking profile. Its flow holds together much better also. The design of the hopper isn't uber sexy but it doesn't have anything to detract from the look. It's just... really clean and looks really slick.

Your forgetting the best one! The VL 3000! Nothing beats 4lbs of paint on top of your gun!

HALO B.

I love the contrast of curved and flat areas.

The shape itself is complex, which comes off as a well refined and polished product.

Halo B is the best looking followed by the revolution.

The Eggo is minging, utterly awful looking - it always looks like it's just about to fall off the feed neck. I'd rather have a drain-pipe hopper than an eggo. Ricochet is pretty nasty looking too - looks like it was designed in the 80s, all edges, yuck.

It's all about the Ricochet. Now the HALO TSA is taking a queue from it. They look fast and sexy to me. I use a Ricochet, and will probaly get a TSA when they come out.

I like the angular surfaces of the Ricochet. They remind me of the newer Cadallacs (sp) of the day.

Halo B colored shells are NICE.

Hate the look of the Rik. Have never liked them.

My favorite loader is ugly though... Go Egg!



Could someone confirm/deny that clear loaders are outlawed in NPPL now?

in order of ones i have accualy seen in real life i like

1. halos(preferablly smoke like im getting)
2. revvies(basic shape not specific)
3. ricochets(i like what it does but i dont like the looks)

however i would probably say TSA if i see it in real life. sometimes the revvy looks a little better and better feel sometimes on my guns

[FeelTheRT]

i voted for HALO not just because of its preformance but beause i think its a decent looking hopper. The nxt best looking is probably the Revy. I like the round edged look of the HALO. Eggo just looks kinda off because u got this egg shaped thing, and a stem comming down from like the tip. If the neck was in the center or something, i think i'd look ok but nnnoooo. Ricochet is just plain old ugly with the sharp edges.
