    Warp Feed sounds like a pain...

    I've been considering buying a warp feed for a while, but I haven't been too impressed by what I've seen. It sounds like it requires a lot of TLC to keep it working proper. I'd like to know all the potential cons, as well as the pros. Also, I could go for some pictures of your setups.

    Thanks in advance

      mine worked ok, I just dont use it anymore since you can't shoot left handed good with them.

        I never leave home (for the field anyway) without one. Actually two. Only time I don't play with a warp is when I decide to play with my pump Mag or when I'm gonna be truckin around all day during a scenario game.

        I find it very weird to play without a warp. I'm so used to the wide open field of vision - no damn hopper in the way, plus it gives you a smaller profile too.

        Well...you don't shoot left handed with them (unless you're left handed of course). You just tilt the gun to the left and continue to fire with your right hand.

          When it worked I didn't know how I ever played without it; it was GREAT! Left hand shooting simply means tilting it on it's side. It'll feed a good 10-15 balls before you have to tilt it up again.

          When it didn't work it wouldn't feed. If that happens you're screwed because there is no Warp Rip drive.

          After it died the third time during a tournament game I took it off and have made do without it since. If you can't trust something you have to let it go.

            there fun i liked mine but i decided it did fit my style of play too well. it ws nice not to worry about gun angle and it always nice to show with I could walk my mag upside down for about 15 balls. but it is something you need to try to see if you like


            Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

              I love mine but I had the worst luck with Halos, they took more effort to keep running than my warp. Kept dying on me as soon as they yelled game on. But warps are kind of like coconut, you either love it or hate it. Just realize the first time out may be a bit rocky, you'll need to work out the kinks in the system first.

                  Or never actually owned one...

                  I've had a warp on my emag since they came out, I've never had a problem with it, ever. One of the secrets to success with the warp is to use quality paint. Never had to oil the discs for balls to slip, never had to clean paint out of it, never had a ball break in it.

                  If you shoot crappy paint, you're taking a risk, spend the extra few $'s and get the good stuff and you'll never have a problem.

                        I am considering one of these as well, so that I wont need a halo, I can just keep my revvy .. BUT, when you need to clean it do you just like, take it all apart or run a squeegee through or what?

                          qloader seems like a better solution now.

                              I've run them for years now. It's not been a problem, once you get it set up you are good to go. If you break paint in them they keep working fine. To clean them they are not hard to take apart when you get back home. The only time I've had trouble is when I DIDNT have them intellifeed. ALWAYS intellifeed them for best results.

                              I currently have one on my tourney gun and it keeps up fine. I had trouble last tournament we played it jammed up and I was angry, untill I discovered it was an egg-shaped paintball that would have jammed anything. Regardless, I will NEVER run a hopper.

                              oh yeah...and run rechargeable batteries. It's stupid not to. The amount of paintballers using disposable batteries amazes me.
