Limited Paint & Hoppers

[Mike (Exodus)]

So, you're playing limited paint, one hopper and one pot. If you want to carry as many balls onto the field as you can then which hopper do you choose? How many balls can you get into the following and still have them work? Not after guesses, how many really fit without jamming up?

Revy
Ricochet
Halo
Egg II
Mach 404


Okay, so I'm bored.....

Egg II can hold the most, 196 I believe, revy can hold 174... stats are in What Paintball Gear 2003 mate.

Cheers matey...

Ricochet holds about 180 and will never jam.

Revvy holds about 10 less without jamming (even though they advertise it as a 200 round loader)

EggII holds 180-190 and I've never seen one jam.

My HALO B holds about 160 and never jams.

Never used a Mach 404.

Mach 404 holds 200, but is noisy and can only feed at about 10 bps. Had one ages ago until I got a hopper shot and it shattered

isnt there a hopper that holds 300 balls, made by viewloader?

Yep but it's non electric, huge and nigh on obsolete

The VL3000!

One of Storm had one on a WarpFeed this weekend - serious sustained firepower

Oh, and they had an 18volt revvy motor IIRC

yer ive seen 300 round loaders, most limited paint tournies mention in the rules eather that they are no allowed or that there is some restriction on how much paint the player can put in them at the start of a game

in a standard game tho, i can definatly see the advantage of having one on a warpfeed! back mans dream!

Yep we have a VL3000 "boat" hopper.

It smells funny though!
