    Why didn't AGD turn the warp into a hopper as well?

    I am just curious.

    i asked this also. i think the answer was that people like to mount their warps at diffrent angles so making it an all in one unit would cause probs and limit sales as people couldnt adjust the angle and space between the marker and hopper to their tastes.

    if somebody knows how to mold plastic i think it would be awesome to make a custom hopper shell that mates to the top of the warp and takes a standard hopper board...such as halo internals or egg2 internals. you could make it hold 250-300 pb's if you designed it to mate perfectly thus eliminating wasted place in the design.

      someone did this before for a disabled person. they hooked up a backpack loader (which held a few thousand rounds) and attached it to a long hose that went to the warp.

      i thought it was pretty kool and a very good example of how much someone can love paintball

        For variable mounting and to avoid patent issues.

            And when the hose falls off, it will pump all of your paint everywhere.

                  If you use those o-rings supplied with it the hose will not fall off....

                    It might not fall off, but that long hose I think would get shot more easily. I had a tiny warp hose, and it was shot rigt in half. That was fun. haha

                      Doesn't a longer warp hose mean there are more balls in the hose... meaning more force will be needed to get the entire stack moving? And you know what happens when you put too much force on a paintball...


                      I guess for long distances, you could use another warp as a repeater...

                        I had my warp hose shot out too, it blows! I was in the middle of a firefight and couldn't for the life of me figure out why I wasn't hitting the guy!
