hopper help

[omega_red]

do u think this hopper is good enough to play with. it overfeeds my trigger frame by about 3 bps. just wanted to know if i was using a good loader(yes i did copy this off a add)

The Ricochet Apache is the lightest of all the super fast loaders weighing in at only 16oz with batteries.

Features:

Capacity: 190 paintballs and is rated 17-19 balls per second
Spring loaded clear lid
EZ View windows on both sides
EZ load battery magazine
99 minute and 59 second game timer
Memory for game timer and alarm mute
Auto shut off after 20 minutes
Adjustable o-ring neck
Low battery indicator
60 second and 30 second warning alarms
The Apache is the only high-speed loader that will still function as a gravity feed hopper in the event of a dead battery situation or malfunction.

What type of marker have you got and also do you like to rip your marker? If so thats not probably not the loader for you. Get something more like an Egg (evolution 2) or a halo, uber fast but if ur batteries go your fooked..but dont let that happen.

i got a spyder victor so if i shot much faster than you do with stock i would wreck the gun.

just re -read your post there. 17-19 bps ?? for an apatche..:| That will do you fine mate, however I think its an ugly beast, so if you are going on looks an egg or a halo.

the apatche is designed to deflect paintballs. (frankly i think it looks like it crawled out of hell)

revvie would sound like your best bet, egg would be overkill i think

 

[omega_red]

thx, i will think on it

 

[Gibbsey]

you always want your hopper to be faster than your marker as opposed to the other way round. Just not going mad, ie halo or eggy on a spyder would probably be overkill (as Kenny mentioned)

You know the only reason stealth planes were designed as faceted flat shapes is because they didn't have the computer power to do the calculations with curved surfaces.

You can judge for yourself if the richochet really does lead to more bounced balls... and as for the faceted angled sides helping that... Long and thin but curved would work just as well if not better.

Also I would suggest trying out an Apache if you can before going by the sales ad. Actually I suggest that for ALL products. Sales ad's aren't always the best advice.

They didnt have the computing power when they made the F117A?

Surely, its because, they arent deflecting projectiles, which would benfit from a curved surface, as it reduces the impact...and of course, they are trying to deflect Radar signals, in any direction, other than back to the source???

The Flying Wing, stealth bomber, was a curved aircraft...and that existed before the F117A and was never really used properly, not in service today either.

Not calling you a liar Manike, far from me to! But can you qualify that statement?
