I'm a back guy, but I love hopperball, why I'm going to start a Pan/Am team. 5 man. 200 rounds per player, per game.

I love hopper ball. Evens up the field for markers and allows Pump guns to compete with electo's. You can play all day and have fun on a half a case. Hopper ball is cool.

ive played hopper ball for a year now, and i love it. i even use my RT, and i find it sooo hard not to rip on people, but i only have 200 balls, so it really helps me with my snapshooting and tactics

i don't even own a harness, i've only ran out a few times playin hopper ball.

Is this still hopper ball?

ok my plan is to make another slower firing gun cause I always need a project.

so I am going to run and air-assist 50 round pocket hopper (then tend to jam over the feed hole, hence the air assist)

Since 50 balls is a little light sometimes, I am going to take pods and cut them down to hold like 46ish balls and then carry them on in place of normal pods. That way I would have the 50ish in my hopper and one or two "pods" that way I still have at most 150 rnds. Which equals one hopper for most.

So is that still hopper ball?

PS I hate polls.

They have that, without the air assist. E-tron.

Ever since I started using my Ricochet loader I've been running out of ammo when I play hopper ball. The capacity of the loader is 180 but I think that I probably only fill it to 150 or so.

Still there is something about opening the lid for your hopper and counting your remaining shots and realizing you have to make every one count. It does make the game pretty exciting. I'd play more local tournaments if they were limited paint.

i am a back player when we are at tournies, but at rec ball i play all over the place. rec ball i generally play with 3 pods but i never refill, i think i just like the feel of my pack hahaa, and it helps when we dont go back to the staging area inbetween games. hopper ball is fun

Hopperball Is alot of fun. But, it does not help you work on movement (as some have said) unless the other team is not playing hopperball. If the other team has less paint than normal, it is not nearly as difficult to make bunkers as they will often not even "waste" paint trying to hit someone on the run. It will help your shooting and movement skills ALOT if you are the only one on the field with <200 rds. though. That said, I think hopperball is an awesome alternative to more expensive unlimited paint games.

Never played with us!

True, just speaking from MY experiences.

He is right, however. Making it to your bunker playing hopperball on the rec field is completely different than an unlimited paint tournament. It is totally different.

That's what I do, I hate walking back to the staging area after every game. When you have a pack you can just load right up and not miss any games.

I like playing with limited paint. This past Easter, me and my friends went down to our woods with tons of huge plastic eggs. We had bought two cases of paint earlier, and we filled the eggs with paint, (they would hold about 15 balls each) and hid them out in the woods. We all started at one spot and it was basically a race. It sure helps on reloding skills. Anyone else got any cool games they've made up?
