    Warpfeed and hopper

    Does the warpfeed system run better with a revy hopper, or does it do its job just fine with a standard VL200? Also, how do it load the last 10 balls or so into the chamber? Thanks for the help(again :o )

    Well for the best speed results a agitated hopper is recommended. This is because the warp uses the next few balls to push the balls into the chamber. If you have a slow loader, you have a slow loading speed or gaps. With the last few if you are out of paint you kinda have to turn the gun over and shake loading one ball at a time. In the 2 years I've played with the warp I've only had to do that twice on the field.

      revvys are fine. I used one for two years on my warp. I've now gone back to centre feed and have had to get a halo as I miss the speed of the warp revvy combination.

          ricochet apache, cheaper and faster than the egg (also has better customer support adn is more durable) you also do not have to melt it to make it fit.

            although the downside here is that the egg sticks WAY back into your face and can make it harder to shoulder. the egg is a great hopper, just not perfect for the warp

            the revvie is prolly the best for the warp

                i still have to argue the apache, warp users like the ricochet's but they were slow, now the apache is very fast, and fits the warp nicely.

                  I'll agree with this statement. I've used the 12v but I didn't like the fact of melting it to make it fit. Gave a Rico 2k a try and fell in love, even though it was slow. Now that I have a Apache that is what is on my warp. It's more speed then I'll need on the warp.

                    I use a Xboard revy on my warp and it works just fine for me. Its nice and light and stuff. Halos on warps are overkill and its a heavy combo IMO. Eggs look funny and like Kevmaster said they are in your face. I think an Apache would work just great. Its just around the right speed, not too heavy, fits great. I'll stick with my rev though. It suits me just fine.
                    I wouldn't recommend a VL200 unless you want to shake your gun alot. You'll probally have to prime the warp alot as well. I would just spend the $25 and buy a used 12v rev if I were you.

                      A Warp Feed and VL200 wouldn't make a whole lot of sense at all.
                      How could you not have the money to shell out on a Warp Feed (80 used, 180 new) but not a Revvy? o_O Revvys are only like, what, 20-35 dollars?

                      I agree with the majority, Revvy + Warp = awesome. It's a bare minimum, I think, and it's a very high minimum. The two work so well together and especially if you have an X-Board, like personman said.

                        If the hopper's not feeding into the warp, it kind of defeats the purpose.
