I love the idea. Actually I had a similar one after looking at the warp and seeing some flaws but great potential.
Instead of the hopper being sort of triangular and underneath the barrel, mine is cylindrical (not totally, looks slightly smaller from head on from the back to decrease profile). The hopper section goes right in front of the battery on an E/X-MAG, with just enough room between the battery and the hopper to comfortably have your hand in there for using the battery as a forgrip. Vertically, the hopper start 3/4" below where the bottom of the gun is. The hopper has room for 180-200 balls, which is normal, and at the bottome would either have an agitator or a belt system like Halo B.
The way I first envisioned it, there would be a circular drive like that on the warp feed directly below the hopper and "laying down", not upright like on your model or the regualr warp feed. On the opposite side of the warp drive to where the hopper empties into it, there would be an exit to go into the feed tube and a rammer to ram the balls up into it.
Sorry I cant figure out how to attatch an image.
Then I realized that there really wasnt a reason to have the whole warp drive setup, you could just have to rammer ram balls up from directly under the hopper.
The problem with the regular warp is that, say you have a warp right, you cant fire out the right side for extended periods because you are too big a target. The prob with your design is that it will be too front-heavy and because of the design of the hopper, if you have the gun in even the slightest downward angle you will never get any balls to feed.
With mine, you get the advantages of a warp in that since the hopper is so vertical you can lean it out a bunker, only exposing very little gun, and to do this you dont even have to lean it much. Also, you will have more than 8 balls ready to fire. If you are holding the gun at a 20* angle, all you probably need to get most of the gun behind cover, you will pobably be able to shoot out all but the last 8-15 balls before the angle is too much to feed.
The other beauty is that with the placement of the hopper,almost any hits that hit it will have hit your gun, tank, arm, or body any way so even if you're exposing the whole gun setup without angling it from behind a bunker you still have less a target zone than a normal hopper-on-top setup.
What do you guys think? Do you understand what I'm describing?
