Sideways Warp Idea

[soilent green]

I'd love to see a warp with hoper atached to be more compact

They should make a HALO that you can connect to your Drop Forward like a Warp, and runs from the hopper to the hose. The HALO force feeds like the Warp I believe so they could make the propeller a little more powerful and have it like a warp feed. This would definately cut costs for people that want a HALO/Warp Feed combo, but then again AGD might miss out because HALO would be selling them, and no one wants that to happen :).

I would redesign it so that the warp and hopper are a one peice design. This new setup would mount on top of the tank and the hose or feed tube would run directly ontop of the valve. New body's could even be made with an extra feed tube on top like AGD's Sidearm and the balls enter through the rear of the marker, follow the tube towards the breach and than hit a powerfeed plug of sometype and they drop into place.

This would allow players to switch hands., take the hopper off the top of the gun, and not have anything coming down off the side of the gun like the way warp hoses are currently being ran.

That is what I was thinking when I made the picture above.

I believe I know who that "anybody" is! LOL

The new HALO hopper kinda uses this idea. If you look at the workings of a HALO, it's kinda like having a WARP feed mounted horizontal in the bottom of the hopper. The HALO is capable of feeding 18 BPS, as seen on their website, mounted on an Emag.

Not exactly. The warp is a true force-feed system and the halo is not. BIG difference. I have two halos for sale cheap if you want them.

How much for the HALO's?

Here is JUST the warp unit. I hope you can understand it. I'm thinking that it should run off the emag batteries or some sort of external central power source. The one battery philosophy.
This should come with a drop forward designed to hold the warp. I really have the thing off scale but it's a crude drawing.

Make it under the gun, in front.
Have the balls feed vertically into the gun.
It will be like the 200 round drums on the M4.

That was what I what I was trying for... the only problem is that there has to be enough clearance for a hopper to go ontop of the warp. So it would have to be turned so the hopper can sit on one end. The paint would come out of the warp up the tube and into the warpfeed body. I think this design would be most effective with a trap door body though. It's basically a sideways, scaled down version of the warp.
