3 Questions of Rev Hoppers

[MacrossPlus]

1. How much difference do they make?

2. How much sound do they make, and when do they make it?

3. Difference between a 12v and a 9v version?

1. if u are having problems with chopping balls get one, helps out tremendously
2. they do tend make alot of noise when u run out of ball; correct me if im wrong someone
3. 12v is much better, u r just better off spending a couple more dollars for it; 9v uses one battery, 12v uses two batteries, utilizes more power

You say noise when empty.. Now empty as in hopper has 0 balls left..or as in empty and needs to cycle more balls in place?

[xen_100]

they make a little noise when they are empty(no balls left) cause the motor runs. you can just turn it off though. 5 feet away you cant hear it, so its not like it will give you away.

Just curious, but blowback forum + revvy doesnt mix, whats up?

[xen_100]

what do you mean they dont mix?

This thread has no place here

ya, it should be in the general forum. but until the mod moves it. its here

(why am I stuck at 41 posts??!!? WTF)

If you have a 98 and RT you'll need a revvy, so it is sorta suitable for a blowback forum. Well, not the best excuse but it's an example of an exception.

A revolution hopper really helps. I have a spyder and it made a world of difference for me. The only noise it makes is a buzzing from powering the agitator inside. There is a sensor in the bottom which senses when there are no balls feeding and starts the motor. There isn't a lot of difference between 9v and 12v. My 12v said it could feed 10-12 a second and I think 9v is only a few less than that.

Ok I am a newbie..but can't I use a rewy with a Spyder?

and isn;t a Spyder a blow back.... hmmmmmm

[Hsuve]

Yes, a Revolution hopper can be used with a Spyder. Yes, Spyders are blowback markers.

revvy hoppers are nice. Especially if you shoot fast. But if your a newbie you prolly dont need one.

bah! I could rip when i was a newbie:)
I think newbies need them just for the sake of it takes them forever to clean a break if it does happen, becuase they are not one with the squegee yet.....hehehe:)

I'm gonna get alot of **** for this, but I have a winchester durango and I break a ball once in a great while (not a joke, in a five-hundred round bag I only cut seven) but I don't clean it out. After a shot or two, it cleans itself out. I've probably committed some attroutious crime, but I saw no problem. I clean it when I'm done shooting.

7 out of 500 is a lot of ball breakage. Are you chopping the balls, or are they breaking in your barrel?

[superlanny]

chopping. I'm pretty fast on the trigger.

If you get a Revvie, it will probably help.

Higher end markers do not work without a revvy. There is so little recoil that the balls do not jar loose, and even firing slowly over the chronograph doing adjustments is not slow enough to prevent a jam. High end markers just plain need revvies or you'd be shaking your marker every 3 shots
