Exclamation Behold! In Progress Rucksack Feed System

I was tempted to put this in the A5 modification forum, but i'm not really modifying anything on the A5.

Anyway, behold the most ambitious project in history. I got the idea from Funky Diver in the UK, but i've also seen something like this in development in the US. A few things to note:

- The final length of the feed hose will be much much shorter. I've just not gotten round to that bit yet.
- The feed hose + remote will be covered with marpat.
- Obviously the gizmotron will go inside the rucksack. But i've not yet figured out how to store it securely in there.
- A hopper with "eyes" will be used instead.
- I will be extending the hopper somehow all the way to the top of the rucksack. Hopefully final capacity should be around 1k paintballs. I'll probably do this with tubing or some kind of bottle.
- The only fitting that I haven't figured out how to secure yet, is how the hose connects to the A5.
- I've not yet figured out how to make some kind of quick-disconnect feature for the hose so I can detach it easily.
