Pro team products warp feed (no, they are not the same)
Marker Setup:
Spyder Flash LCD w/ AKA javelin barrel, AKA lighnting bolt w/ beavertail cocking bolt, AKA tornado valve, AKA mitey Max, centerflag hyperframe, Dye stickey grips, ACI 6-stage expansionchamber, Mac Dev Gladiator reg, Lapco cup seal, Pro team Products warp feed, and PMI 48/4500
Strengths:
it feeds balls faster then a human finger can shoot them without an electronic trigger frame. cheaper then the pro team one.
Weaknesses:
Well this isn't bad, but it doesn't exactly help. Physics shows that the gun takes up just as much space as it did before, the hopper is just in a different spot. And with the warpfeed motor there it actually makes your gun bigger. Think about that next time you say it lowers your profile. =-)
actually if it is on your left side and you look out the right, then it will make it smaller, cuz your warp feed is still behind bunker.
It isn't as good quality as the pro team products warp feed and feeds 1/2 bps slower, but that hardly even matters.
Conclusion:
get it if you can shoot faster then your revvy or ric can keep up, or if you like to brag about your gun.
Just for the record, dolt, the idea of a warp feed isnt to reduce the amountof space the gun takes up, the idea is to compress it. To put it in your highly advanced physics terms, a Ricochet is approximately 1 kilogram-ish. If you have it on a Minimag, it sticks up six inches from the main body, with the elbow and everything. Getting a warp feed doesnt eliminate that kilogram, it simply moves it to the side of the gun, as opposed to the top, thus making the mag for compact.
If your going to try to sound intelligent, at least get it right.
A warp feed can only feed as fast as the hopper attached to it. If you put a revvy on it, the paint is goind into the warp feed at 13 bps. If the warp feed is only receiving 13 bps, then it can only put out 13 bps.
Not sure what you're talking about "Physics making it evident"...
Hell I'm not even sure if you could consider this physics, if anything it's simple geometry and probability.
And yes it does "lower your profile", take a second and think about it. What is the exposed surface area on a normal hopper?
Gun + Hopper that sticks out. The hopper increases your hittable area in 3 dimensions, it adds height, it adds width and it adds length. Arguably you can consider this 2 because generally the width of the hopper <= width of your gun..but regardless. That's 2 dimensions, and a significant amount as well.
Warped feed provides you with a constant input (reduce ball chops -whatever) and reduces the appreciable dimension to 2. And what dimension does this increase? Width!
And does it really matter? No..not really. If your warp feed wasn't there and it sailed past the warp feed, there is a pretty good chance that it would be hitting you (unless you weren't behind your gun.)
So yes, it DOES lower profile (lower the probability of being hit). Question is this,
is it worth 100+ dollars to lower your profile this much?
Well I guess if you're a millionaire it's worth it, but if I were to buy a warp feed system I suppose it'd be because of the feed system itself. Plus it all looks kinda weird!
i think the warp feed is a horrible thing in paintball, it changes weight to one side, and in speedball, that isnt good at all, unless ur playing woods ball, then never, ever even consider this crap.
Bah, the Warp is best in speedball. It doesn't throw your "balance" off. In fact, with the mounting kit, you can fine-tune your front-rear balance, by moving your hopper centerline to the rear of your grip's centerline.
It lowers your gun's profile, you can use the top of your bunker sparingly, but it's there as an option now! It makes top moves EASIER.
As for shooting the left side, with the Warp on the left, do what AGD suggests and tip your gun.
I've been playing with a Warp for 2 years now, and I've only taken one hit on the Warp. And I don't recall thinking "man, if this hadn't been there, I'd still be in."
The positive pressure on paintballs that Gimplar mentioned is one great reason to buy a warp. I can run as fast as I can without losing accuracy, and shoot as fast as I possibly can without having balls bounce halfway out of the breech and get cut in two. It used to happen a lot before I got a Warp.

thats true but it can for short periods of time go higher than the hopper attached to it b/c of the balls in the hose

now that the quote's done... I'll bash with my 95% skills of physics IRPaintballer
physics has nothing to do with size of gun, in fact, the size of your gun can never increase, all you can do is add on different parts. Profile is determined by "how much sticks out" while playing a bunker.
Pro-team and AGD warp feeds are exactly the same, the reason the Pro-Team is more expensive is because it comes with a special 90 degree adaptor that fits most non-AGD paintball guns. And... 1/2 a bps slower... really... you determined this how.. digital eyes?
Well, I'm getting my warp soon after using one on an X-mag of my buddies (he's works for them omg he's so lucky lol). IR3 CNC, Smoke warp(on/off and 2X9volt parallel hook up), clear eVLution2, 71/4500, OH yeah baby

lol... i bet you were thinking..." where the hell did that come from and how the hell did it actually hit the warp?:-P
quote:Originally posted by bam wannabe it really is an excellent invention ::wipes tear::
admit it, all of u have at least once taken a hit to the hopper without the warp.
lol, dont cry... atleast some people including myself can apreciate the warp : )
with my A-5 that was where the majority of my gun hits took place. on the hopper
