Ricochet Apache Users!? Opinions?

[sneakyhacker420]

i love my apache when i use it on my Revenge LE, its not the fastest thing in the world, but its definitely better than any other gravity loader

in fact, today, i was cleaning my closet, and it fell 6 feet to the hardwood floor and didnt have a scratch or crack in it... if any other hopper would have fallen (my Reloader-B was right next to it ont he shelf ) it woulda been in peices


i gotta say that ricochet has AWESOME customer service

i remember whn i first got a rico AK with the old shells for my minimag (2 years ago), in the manual, it said that if you oversanded the neck, they would send you new shells free of charge! simply because of user error! now tell me that isnt generosity

my motor crapped out, sent me a new one, lid cracked, sent me a new one, i wanted o-ring shells, they sent me o-ring shells, i cut shells for a warp and took the warp off, they sent me new shells so i could use it on top of my gun again

ricochet is the most kickass company in paintball ever as far as customer service and generosity to the public goes


oh, did i mention that my apache still fed 17BPS on dead batteries when the low-battery warning was showing on the LCD?

havent changed the batteries in my apache for 3 months now... still going strong

an apache would be great for your minimag. the only real downside that comes to mind right now is if you go to bunker someone on a laydown bunker (so you put your marker over the bunker) and dont control it correctly, the balls will be sucked out of the breach and feedneck due to centrigual force. a force fed hopper like a halo would stop that (since its true force fed), but its probably not worth your extra cash. so in the end i would say just get an apache.

actually this wont happen with a a apache or any of the other ricos.(in my experiance anyway)
the flap that tell the ball passes to make the motor spin is on an angle so the ball will not roll back into the hopper. works like a charm

used one on my tac-one emag and it did not let me down. used it the entire weekend at a scenario and never changed the batteries once. i even fell on the feed neck durring play and it did notbreak off. the ball rattleing around inside of it is a little louder then what i like, but like i said, it kept up withthe gun in electro and hybred. i say go for it....

I have one, sense replaced by a HALO

If you get one, take the black covers off the impeller rods off - otherwise they will slip out and jam things.

They feed well, the Halo, when low, you ahve to tip back to get the last few balls to the .... umm mechanism.\

There shells are durable, mine survived being thrown into a bunker from two feet away out of frustartion (see first idea).

I have outrun mine with my e-mag set above 15BPS - so theres a realistic actual feed rate. Yes fresh batteries, I change them before every day of play.
