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
Buttons underneath at the back - with my torque when you hold the marker by the snatch grip it is easy to accidentally activate the loader (or worse turn it off without noticing) with the side of your hand. Get the buttons out the way.

Having the buttons off the back plate would allow you to have a clear section on the rear of the loader to you can see how much paint you have left at a glance, and make the rest of the hopper solid/smoke so your opponent can't see how much you have left/time a run when you re-load. Have the clear back section and a clear raceway so you can imediately see jams (eliminates the "why's my gun stopped" running through your head). Torque's reverse button works well but add a rip drive or similar to manually feed.

Also Torque shells are solid as - hardly any have broken from what I hear.

Feed neck should be one piece like the Jrny, avoids stress fractures from over tightened feed necks.

Oh, and don't make it look crap :rolleyes:

Well, if you are as creative at designing hoppers as you are at spelling, this should be good...

Personally, I won't hold my breath, as usually the technerds that are good at designing are also pretty damn good at spelling. But hey, I'm willing to be surprised.

Oh, and I do advise you to look up all the patents, as it doesn't matter if you designed everything, rather than copied it. If you come up with a similar design all on your own, you're still f*cked...

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 )
Purchase a dictionary before you start designing the hopper mate.....:p

I use a vlocity and I know people don't like them but mine's great minus being noisy!

So whatever you do design make it quiet, it does my head in otherwise!
