Hopper Idea

[ramennoodles]

You know how people are complaining about their hopper feednecks and hoppers busting, well i had some time(three hour detention for truancy) and decided that someone should come out with a hopper made of the same material as nalgene bottles, or is there already a hopper made of that?

Nalgene bottles:

However, I havent ever fealt or seen this material. Can it be found at a place like wal mart? If so, Ill go have a look, if not, where can it be found?

alot of ppl at school have bottles made of those, its really thin(thinner than normal hoppers) and lightweight, also, its supposed to never break, could be a good idea

[angelbeast24]

ramen looks like a good idea id gladly pay for halo shells made out of this stuff

i think nalgene bottles are made of polcarbonate (lexan)which is why there so indestructible. and i think it also has to do with there shape. i could be wrong tho:o

I was starting to wonder why anyone hasnt made aftermarket hopper shells. Especially for Eggs or Revs...My pre-BE revvy shell is starting to look awful and after seeing my friends BE revvy lid break off while he was reloading I dont dare buy a new one. So I would love a Nalgena-shell, I hope someone on AO starts making these.

Hell, suggest it to them. They seem to price VERY well, so who knows..

the only thing i could of why no one has done it is expense but i dunno.

speak of the devil, tonight me and my friends were board, so we all bough one of the smaller nalgene bottles, and put it to the test!!

it stood up to the wait of the front right tire of a rodeo running over it. it also survived being thrown agaisnt a brick wall about 30 times. we also filled this nalgene bottle full of water and dropped it of a 20 or so foot wall, nothing happened, it bounced!

these things are amazing, i once saw a video somewhere that showd a guy taking a 12 guage, and shooting the bottle, the bottle dented, and the plastic cap broke.
i would definatley buy a hopper made of it

sounds like a wonder plastic but you can count on it that it wont come stock because they make money off all them extra shells we gotta buy


AFTER MARKET FOR LYFE
