    Thanks for all the info guys. I mainly use my Halo B with Victory Board for Speedball. But for Woodsball, it think this will do just for playing around, plus it's cheap.

          They work well, but when the do jam up they really jam up and it takes alot of shaking to clear it. Also, they are only $5 in our shop, so not bad.

                  Yeah I think I am gonna go with the friends and family plan theory on the ebay feedback. And no he never shuts up. Get them from a local shop. Go to the archon webpage and find a local dealer. I have two of these. Jamming does happen especially towards the end of the hopper. For no batteries there isn't anything better out there and these really do feed at a decent rate. I use them on mech mags with no troubles.

                    If you are looking for a good hopper without the need for batteries, there are a few that are agitated based hoppers that actually use air to operate the agitator. I believe Tippman even makes one, although I may be wrong. Just a thought, as I tried the archon and was not impressed in the least.

                      or maybe to be fair he tested both without batteries.. and it outperformed his halo without batteries..

                        I looked at trying to modify the Tippman Cyclone Feed but it needs blowback from a marker like the Tippman or Spyder. Turbo makes one but is like the Cyclone feed. Also looked at a Q-Loader, but imagine loosing that in the woods. I did modify my Empire B to 2 9volts, and with the new Empire board, you can advance it by tapping the botton. It still is somewhat top heavy. I'll probably buy it as a backup to the 4 electro hoppers I already have. (Darn Batteries)

                          You aren't limited to blowbacks for those. You could feed one from a cocker x-way, or use either vent gas or a line split from the solenoid in an electro-pneumatic. A Mag would probably be the toughest one to modify for it, but most other systems are doable.

                            my revy still feeds with no power, when my girlfriend comes out to play recball i oftan give her the normal vl200 and use the revy with no batteries in it

                              Get a qloader?? No batteries, no hassle (other than filling) and faster than most battery powered hoppers. If it's for a woodsball/scenario marker then you will probably like it.

                              Anyways, I was thinking of that turbo loader but didn't realize it required blowback..
