owww no that was only me . i carry a bag round with spare hoppers in game. if i get shot on it then ii just swap it .. quite an expensive way of avoiding loader hits :D

im joking btw before anyone starts bitchin at me

+ no hoppers were broken in the making of this post. everything has survived and has gone on to live happy full lives

With the stuff I was using I could break it by squeezing it between a finger and thumb... I watched a guy do the same to a black paintball, and it just pinged out from between his finger and thumb

As for the hopper that broke it was a pulse loader on field 1, when game was stopped, BUT apparently he had a hole in it already according to a marshall on another field!!! Some of black paint wasn't breaking and it knacked!!! I had HUGE bruises of 3 bounces from it and the black shell has stained my playing top!!!!! Do i get a new top? :D :D Only joking dudes!!!

If a pulse can hammer a nail in - that paint must have been hard to crack one
XL team had a Pulse and Reloader damaged, I believe

we had two reloaders with cracks on the front from paint hits! however the pulse was already cracked at the begining of the day but the paint hit had caused the plastic to break off and so a small hole formed. This was what caused the game on field one to stop, however after things had started to cool down, one marshall remembered seeing it like that in the first game we played.

but i agree there was some hard stuff. that evolve stuff worked fine for us eric - we had to borrow some of marks due to running out of paint. and it was fine - it was more fragile than the stuff we were using - i was pressing that against my studs with as much pressure as i could muster from my thumb and it refused to break.

i believe there were 3 teams using black paint and only 1 was allowed to continue using it

i think that one team were allowed to continue as it was different paint to other 2 teams

i had a bounce off my lense on feild 2, was funni, :D :D :D marshall was well shocked

the black paint was rock solid alot teams picked up on the fact it wasnt breakin, it wasnt breakin we had to cut it with a knife to break it, ouchy, the same paint has been used in a snap shooting trainin session, players was hit in the head and was out cold for atleast half hour,:eek: not advised to use

also it wasnt just the black paint breakin hoppers one players speed feed was broke when shot coming in to mug me. :eek:
