What's the lightest hopper on the market? has anyone made anything like a carbon fibre shell for a halo?

velocity is the lightest i think. a carbon fibre halo shell would be rediculosly hard to produce and expensive.

i think the pulse is a faction lighter than even the velocity (faster too;) ) dunno about carbon fiber tis probably quite expensive to machine that much.

You can get immitation carbon fibre shells from SPO. They're expensive though.

If your only thinking CF because of the weight, it really doesn't matter, 80% of the weight is in the battery pack, motor and other internals.

A carbon fibre shell probably wouldnt work all that well, whilst carbon has amazing tensile strength, it is surprisingly easy to dent and smash.

Also as others have said, the real weight of a loader comes in the motor and battery etc, not to mention 160 paintballs :|

10 round tube FTW
I am getting some Smarties tube for a lower profile and a lighter feel. Very much similar to buying PC screws and "re-engineering" them as ball detents. PM me for a good price John.

P.S Get that email sent off ASAP, I need my LCD (<<points to the super ****hot trigger) back asap! I will re-remind you tonight.
