newbie hopper question

[leeroymacelroy]

Fairly new to the paintballing scene and am looking into gettin a electronic hopper for my gun.i have a viewloader charger wich is rated at about 12bps i think and i have a standard hopper wich cant keep up on auto.have seen a few hoppers for sale between 30 and 50 but dont know if any of them are any good even for my gun.What would people suggest for a decent budget hopper?

A budget hopper? What marker have you got and where are you playing with it on full automatic?

Halo's seem to be a good hopper especially for their price second hand. But id just save up and get a good condition second hand rotor it'll never let you down and will keep up

Iv got a viewloader charger its similar to a sypder im playin in mainly woods dont use the full auto alot but when i do it breaks balls or just doesnt fire after a few

You should not be using full auto on sites in the UK
It will breach risk assessments and therefore insurance policies
Primarily a safety issue

However the halo is perfectly fine, a well priced force feed hopper
A rotor would set you back about £80 secondhand and come with the extra feature of quick strips to cleanup breaks - if that's worth the extra cash to you

I agree with tom, if you want a good second hand hopper for a decent price go for the halo. If you can hang back a bit and save more cash a second hand rotor is the best you can do! Will never let you down!

Ok sweet cheers guys

I've had my rotor for years now and it's been flawless! Had a halo before and found that it ate through batteries much quicker, save up for the rotor and you'll get your money back from the battery efficiency

Cheap and good:
Halo
Reloaded B
Vlocity
Torque
Prophecy

More expensive but worth it:
Prophecy Z2
Rotor
Spire

For something as slow as a charger you could easily use a Revy as I used one on my Pro Series once or twice with no issues. Although you'll want to look at a loader that will be up to the task when you want to upgrade your marker.

I'd definitely recommend a halo B as a moderate mid speed loader. just make sure you use good batteries as it can be a bit power hungry sometimes.

If you want the Daddy I'd say the Rotor is the one to go for. It's a bit more spensive but worth it. and it'll perform to the task every time
