Don't know if this means anything at all, and maybe you've seen it already. But I'll post the link and let everyone discuss it. Looks like it could be a version of a warp feed. Patent was applied for in 2001.

these were used on a line of markers, (the ats series, or something like that) they used a clip fed design, as shown, i believed they worked fairly well, but, reloads were cumbersome and carryiny clips was just no fun -
my guess is...
an idea of Tom's that never was realized...
perhaps they built the warp instead...
besides i think ATS owns a patent on a conveyor type force feed system
not sure if it's exactly the same idea or what though...

they work very well...tend to be high maintanence though...Originally posted by 68magOwner
they have an attachment for the clip to mount a standard paintball hopper on it, off to the side...

thanx cap't obviousOriginally posted by space_weazel_45
no seriously, i know that...i was just illustrating the similarities...
obviously it was dissimiliar enough to not be covered by ats's patent
i know the ats(formerly the tagline ts-1) design has been around since much earlier than 2001TheDuelist "The problem is that Tom has developed the VW Beetle of the paintball industry. It's almost too good to change and far too reliable."Comment
