You can think of it as 6 calico feed systems intertwined with dual
internal screws rotating opposite vs. the single internal feed of
the calico (to compensate for the fragility of paint)...
Ugly? Hmm... I think all hoppers are ugly, ATS's chainfeed notwithstanding.
You'll also find that non-paintball players find the Q much more aesthetically
pleasing than the Halo/egg/etc... The warp doesn't get rid of the hopper,
it just moves it. I have to say this...
is the only time I thought a warp looked like it really belongs there...
That said, I don't see a problem with the Q at all. Here's an old pic of mine.
