    Anyone else here think Tom should make a sort of Rip-Drive for warp feeds? Wouldn't it make sense? If your battery dies during a game, you could turn a little handle and prime like 15 more balls.

      We actually thought about it but it would have made the unit much less waterproof.

        It won't work the same as the Rip Drive for the HALO.

        You'll only get one shot off before you have to turn the crank again, so you'd have to be turning the crank each time to advance a ball.

        Unless you did some sort of wind up wheel that wound up a spring and then put positive pressure on the Warp wheel gear... There are other issues you'd have to deal with, but it would be too complicated and expensive when you could just make sure your battery is good.

          Good point, I forgot about that.

            that isn't true (unless you have a warp body) there will be several balls in the powerfeed tube that will load...

              You're correct, but the majority of people run their setup with the hose going to the bottom of the PF tube, since that is the recommended method for the lowest profile and best feed rate.

                  With the Big cell mod you can actually double the reserve power.

                      At least with a crank you could fill the warp hose with balls and tilt the gun to shoot a bunch of balls. I don't see how the crank would effect the water proof-ness of the warp. Couldn't you just put a sealed bearing around the crankshaft?
