Too true at least your not doing the local council's Social Services Site cause it doesnt matter what time it is - its always draining

Looks like a gimmick to me. If you're playing in a situation where you dont have time to empty a pot into a hopper you're certainly going to need an electro hopper. Non-starter if you ask me

Damn are they ugly...

Look like something you'd use to smuggle drugs into the country.........painful.

Christmas ornaments, little bird houses, or perhaps bulbs for a plant that has Revo shaped flowers?

god these thngs are ugly! definately not on my Xmas list.

I agree with jon also, with the speed of electros these days 6-8 bps is nowhere near fast enough to warrant the "time saving convinience" that these bulls nackers shaped "hoppers" seem to be offering. Also they mention:

The hopper goes directly from the harness to the power feed, eliminating any dropping of balls.

I dont see any kind of specially designed harness anywhere? do you?

they do threaded ones too so mid game you have to screw them in in a hurry cross threading them as you go!

It seems to me that if you have time to pull out your hopper, and put in a new one, then you certainly have time to pop the lid on you hopper and dump in a pod, especially if you need to screw it in. And I agree, fubar, if theres not a harness designed for it, then carrying around those little things will be troublesome, and nearly impossible to avoid "ball droppage." It seems to be no less efficient to carry around extra 200 rd hoppers for when you need to load, and if that was more efficient, ballers would have been doing that for years.


Although, they are cool little trinkets, and for those who like piles of useless toys, they are perfect.

Seriously, if you're tha worried about dropping a few rounds while you load, you really can't afford to play paintball.

More money than sense. (approximately £3.75)
