Is it possible to get a hopper that holds for than 200 rounds? Is it possible to build one?I was thinking of getting 2 vl200's and cutting off the top and glueing them together. What do you think? If you have tried anything like this feel free to post pics.

You have a couple options. You can try to get a VL3000 that holds 300 rounds. Another, more modern option is the JT slammer system. The way the tubes fit into the collar, you could leave a 140round tube sticking out of your hopper with little fear of it falling off. My favorite option is to just live with the revolution and carry extra paint with you ;)

i wouldn't get the hopper that holds more cause it sticks out more and can fall off. just get a pouch and carry paint with you.

One day if you are looking to upgrade to a motorized hopper, and you would still like a big hopper, the evolution holds 230 rounds. I wouldnt pick anything bigger than that, because it just feels uncomfortable and heavy

I personally use a 9 volt revolution 200 rnd hopper and carry 4 tubes (100 rnds each) on an indian Spring 4+1 harness.
Its a good set up, just have to get used to the extra weight on the harness (I run a remote to a 20 oz Co2 tank).

I wouldn't get anything bigger because it would be heavy and bulky. Also you are much more likely to receive hopper shots. Just carry a pack with pods.

I don't think anything bigger that 200 is good because you make too much noise if you are trying to hide (if you aren't on a field) and you're gun will be top heavy and more likley to get hopper shots

APP makes a 240 round hopper. I'm not sure of their URL, but you can find it on Xtremepaintball.com, go to the "links" button on their homepage.
