Alastic that is not good

The modern BE revy has had some serious issues with the plastic quality, usually it was extremely brittle and would shatter when struck by a paintball. I have personally had 4 that were shot clean through the hopper by inbound paint, we're not talking hot shooting, we're talking arond 270 fps (field limit), the plastic was fragile enough that 270 fps had enough energy to pop the hopper at 30 feet.

The feed neck had the same problems with the brittle plastic, if you twisted it to fit it into the marker, you ran the risk of sheering the feed neck off in the marker's feed port, leaving you with quite a tough time trying to get that garbage out.

Then there was the whole fiasco with the change in the feed neck sizing that BE made when they took over ViewLoader.

The old school Pre-BE Revy didn't have these kinds of problems, still have 2 of those left today, tough as nails and still working smoothly.
