| 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! 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.

| 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. Quote:
