home bred hopper...

As above, but rather than feeding the marker directly, have it fill a pre-existing hopper. There might be a market among back players...

...By filling the hopper rather than the marker, you'd cut down on the problems caused by intermittent feeds over a relatively long distance.

I like the sound of this idea!

Also the lower porfile is something I've always thought was a must then the Warp came along so I thought problem solved, but, and I could be wrong on this, it doesnt seem to have caught on?

When you see coverage of top level tourneys their's not many in use. Any reason, like it actually doesnt feed fast enough for more modern guns or its in an awkward place? or am I missing them?

shooting left handed with a warp would appear to give you a larger profile...maybe that's why.

developed for the mag/x-mag/e-mag and not really set up for anything else (requires messing about and altering stuff) if more players used mags, you'd see more warp feeds.
Plus, if you get a burst, forget it.

How about a hopper that fits onto the main body of the marker, holds paint either side and has an agitator to lift it?

Most people I've seen who use warps don't bother shooting left handed at all - they just tilt the gun 90 degrees to the left and shoot John Woo stylee. Since there's no hopper above the feedneck to stick out, you can still come out the left side of your bunker with a really small profile!

I can't imagine that to be too comfortable

Speak to Dangerous Brian from Tsunami about the comfort factor of a warp feed on his Raced Evo X, shooting 22 rounds a second.

and ask any of us how comfortable that makes us feel!!

Seriously though it takes a bit of getting used to but it makes for shooting lefty real easy

I know someone who has a patent on a concept that covers that

iv'e seen db's evo in all it's glory and it IS pretty sweet....

I don't think warp is better than being able to shoot left handed though.
Only advantage I see with warp is coming over the top of a bunker.That's cool.

the only reason he uses a warp is because it's the only thing that can keep up with him!! he outshoots halos
