I think he is looking for the "skinny" factor. the stock A5 hopper is fat from the front. LOL I used to use the stock hopper on my A5 and was constantly getting hit in the front of the hopper. When I switched over to X7 hopper that quickly changed.

... You might be a red neck if.....

You are too cheap to buy a q-loader so you make your own out of a pod.


lol sorry i couldnt stop myself.. its a cool idea .. But you wouldnt be able to pack your pods very tight with that would you??

Great idea, but the pod might fall off with a good paintball shot and there goes all of your paint!

Nice..um...super-tac-cap..pod...thing..!

Or is the A5 giving your opponent the finger at the same time you are shooting them...?

lol

punch it and see if it stays on, i've tried this one on my A5 with wreck pods and its cool for chronoing and stuff. but take a shot to it and its gone and so is your paint. i like paint, its pretty and shiney and all kindsa cool, makes me sad when it hits the ground.

I think you are missing the obvious... now, instead of taking out one pod, dumping it in, and putting it back in your harness, you have to put one pod back, then take out the new pod and put it on... meanwhile you have no ammo in your gun.

Also, when you bump it on a tree limb there goes your paint

But, off topic, I love the paint job on your A5. Could you post a pic with barrel?

I don't think putting a pod back in a harness takes very long. You still have to put a pod back in a harness anyway when you pull one out to refill.

Instead of pouring (which takes time), and having the chance of dropping or spilling paintballs, you attach it right onto the marker. To me that is much faster *IF* the pod attaches securely. Perhaps someone will make a "cyclone pod loader / pods system".

As long as you leave a spot on your harness, you can take the empty pod off, put it in the harness, and then slap the new pod on all in one fluid motion.
