Hopper Survey

[Sid Sidgwick]

wow a new designer, are you looking at producing these hoppers or selling the designes to the big boys, who spend hundreds of thousands on R&D with guys who live and breath paintball everyday, trying to be one step ahead of the pack

Next thing you know, you'll have a way to get paintball on TV and have solved the current worldwide economic slump.

Sorry my sarcasm meter is on overload today must turn it down

haha no worries quite funny achalie would have been my reaction

no basicle im gona make a simple cheep design mainly just to see if it can be done which it can then see how it sells oviasly very cheep at a good standard ,as we all know everything can be improved so trying to make one thats just somthing new ( i know before the jokes come my spelling can be improved )

Good luck with it mate, t'will be hard to do as youll need to check on all the patents ect unless of course you only sell them privately and no one finds out . But good luck mate, I like to see people who want to make changes shows a bit of intelligence in my book even if it may not be possible

nothing is impossible what im doing has never been done before ill let you know that much. theres the basic hopper shape used by almost all hoppers but no dimentions etc then the rest all designed by me so its not cooppied all made from scratch .

as already said, if it was easy to take apart like the torque, with the feed neck in the middle-ish as well. able to fit a crown, with optional aa or 9 volt battery terminals. one thing that would be good though is if every turn of the ball feeder could some how maybe add charge to the batteries therefore batteries would last longer although how easy thatd be.. hmmm.

..

yep well the main words are simple and easy i think that can be the problem with other hoppers they are over complicated so there the basicls of my hoppers design i found the problems and thought of a simple solution but give me a month or two and you can see how it works out

question

ok just looking through my notes and designs and for you guys
Were would you prefer the on off buttons pad
on the back is not an option due to copyright so were
>on the side near the back
>underneath but facing you
>on top but facing you
any other ideas

Id like a hopper system that doesnt sit on top of the gun. Maybe the side (like the warp feed) but waaay lighter. I loved the warp.

MUST be super soft on paint, must perform flawlessly.
