Review:
First off this is a great hopper, but if you are going to be paying full price, and you are into speedball, you may prefer an "Egg." This hopper is GREAT for being quiet. It's odd shape ball rolling, so if you are sneaking around, crawling, turning, etc. you won't give away your position!
It is faster than advertised too! I have shot several times at speeds of 14-16 bps and not broken a single ball! In the almost 1 year i've owned it Iv'e broken two balls. That's not half bad!
The lid is great for loading pods, as a front guy i load a minimum of two pods per game. The lid is flat so balls don't spill out. And the ball counter, although innacurate, is approximate, and will alert you when you need to reload-VERRY HANDY.
This thing sqeels a bit when it's loading, but it's sensor allows it only to feed when you are shooting.
The battery life is surprisingly good
Conclusion:
Deffinately a wise choice for the price. But seriously, i've never heard of one acctually deflecting balls, but that's ok. Just don't get get hit.
