Re: I don't need no stinking hopper!

Enough with these threads! I tried it, it didn't work, and I lost a speed pod!

Sorry I just hate when I spend a whopping two bucks and lose it on something that doesn't work

Re: I don't need no stinking hopper!

LOL... I think it's neat. Good luck though! Perhaps the angled bracket idea is worth a try...not sure what you'd make it out of.

Re: I don't need no stinking hopper!

not sure what advantage would come out of this... it would hold 140 rounds (thats a 140 pod right?) and a medium size hopper can hold what, about 200 rounds? and a regular hopper is much more low profile than that... and also you'd have to wait for your pod to be pretty much empty before reloading...

Re: I don't need no stinking hopper!

Good idea but Q-loader has it spot on: horizontal mounting. The pod jammed on there is a huge target for anyone in range, especially since the cyclone already sticks out enough as it is. Adding 10 inches onto the top of the cyclone only makes it worse.

Actually, Cobra, it adds only 9.5inches. So ha! Shows what you know

Re: I don't need no stinking hopper!

Yeah, my big concern would be taking a hit to the pod. It pops off and all your paint goes all over.

Re: I don't need no stinking hopper!

Yeah, I'd be leary of taking a hit to the hopper also. Or, smacking on a tree.

Re: I don't need no stinking hopper!

I think he's going for "quick pod change".

When you empty a pod, you remove it, flip your gun upside down, take out a new pod, open it up, and jam it on. Once you get good at it, I'd imagine it would be *very* quick...

Sure the height is a problem, but it probably isn't much higher than your mask....so if your hopper didn't get hit, you'd get hit in the face mask.

On the other hand the round shape of the cylinder and the round paintball might just create a ricochet effect.
