    Pre-BE vs. Xboard

    I just got a pre BE revvy, you know the kind that say VIEWLOADER all over and go "dunk, dunk" when you hit the plastic instead of "chink, chink". I plan to put it on my marker. I also have an Xboard revvy that is cracked to hell and back and is missing the feedneck and lid. Should I put the xboard guts in the old revvy or not bother?

    the old brass eagle shells are super strong... have had mine since i started 6 years ago and have been shot in the hopper so many times... still orgional shells with no cracks

      I think it only adds like .75 bps, but thats better than no .75 I guess

        I did the swap with my x-board to the pre-be shells and havn't looked back since.

        Two weeks of having the new x-boarded hopper with the new shells and I broke the lid off already.

              Um, yeah. But are the xboard guts better than the og revvy guts?, is what I'm asking.

                xboard guts are waaay better than the non x-board guts.

                  Yes. They are. The new shells suck, I had mine on the second night brand new, just sitting in my guns feedneck while I was pretending to snap shoot in my room and it fell off.

                    Old shells are better (BE Shells)

                    and the New guts are better (X-Board)

                      I've been using pre-BE guts for a while now, and I haven't had any issues.

                          I have always had old-style hoppers, loved every one of them, but I got a new-style in a trade and it's been fine so far... I hope it holds up

                            yes, i just put an x-board in my pre-be revy, it made a slight, but noticable difference, and they are exactly the same internally, just the pre-be shell is SOO much better, ive had it for years with no problems.

                              uh, Ok.

                              Tell yall what Ima do. I'll do a drop test with both guts in the same shells and see which one is better.
