why dont

[1mg_virus]

why dont tourny players use warp feeds. dont they feed faster then and other hopper halo revy egg so on? and they move your hopper out of the way of getting hit by players or is it that u cant use them i dont know thats why i am asking i am just looking to get into tourny play and was just wondering!!!

[Spoony McSpoon]

i did consider getting one, but i heard that they weighed a lot, and you can tell that once you install it. but i have gotten two opinions on it. but they do hide off to the side well, but i wanna see a pic of the person coming out the left side with that big thing sticken out.

Not many teams are sponsored by AGD.

[Spoony McSpoon]

you don't have to be sponsored by AGD to use their products, unless he was specificaly talking about pro/am/etc. players.

Theyre not really Tournement type hoppers. A bit on the heavy side, and makes your gun a bit more bulky. Tournement players want to be as tight as possible.

i was just talking about tourny players in general. and with pros why would they not be able to use it when they use a dye marker and a halo loader thats not the same company adding a warp feed wont bother the halo hopper u will still be using it right? but i am guessing the companys put some kind of rules about it. becuase i know are sponsor give us rules about what we can and can not do and we are only a Scenario paintball team.

[paintballer42o]

Well, teams dont want to use one because they dont like the feel, at least, thats what Ollie said to me at Hunington Beach. Anyways, i dont think they want to use it cause like i said, theyre a bit heavy, and make your gun bulky.

[1mg_virus]

well they dont seem to heavy to me. i mean most cockers are heavy guns and alot of people use them. i know my cocker is twice as heavy as almost all bushys and timmys and any other high end gun. so i guess if u dont mind the wait its not a bad choice. its goes on like all other aspects of markers and barrels your prefence. i misspelled that but o well what ever

[Paintball360]

Bulky, Heavy, Cant shoot from the left side(or right side depending on which side u put it on), and bigger target when u snap shoot from the side that its on.

Why have all that when a egg with z board, or a halo will be fine.

[paintballer42o]

You forgot the Reloader B with rip Drive;)

[1mg_virus]

well heavy i dont think is a issue u must be weak if u cant handle that little weight its no biggie for me. but any way doesnt having a halo or a egg have the same amount of chance of getting hit if not a greater chance then a warp feed ?

[paintballer42o]

Well, first off, when you have a hopper, you can bent it inward toward your bunker so you have a lower chance of getting hit.
Also, weight is a concern. When snapshooting, the lighter, the better.

well my post may seem lame but i am new to the whole tourny game just starting to get into it about to play my first one pretty soon. and i dont know what snapshooting is would like to know if u can tell me plz

snap shooting is like when someone is shootin at you(most of the time), you obviously dont want to stay in your bunker or you might get bunkered but stickin out and shootin back u might get shot too, so you go in and out real fast but make sure it isnt rhythmic because good players catch that and know when your comin out your bunker. I know 2 people that use warps in tourneys...its not as bad as it looks. Its a little bulky, but its not bad because when you shoot out the left, you can tilt your gun a complete 90* angle and shoot out the left and you can do that for right side but you dont need to as much. Also, you can go over top of laydowns a WHOLE lot more... And my friend runs a halo+warp on his, the other a 12v+warp

looking for some more feed back

[1mg_virus]

any one?

[paintballer42o]

heres a better description on snap shooting:

You peek out with your gun, you take 2 shots at an oppoent and then go back in. Do this VERY quickly, about 1/2 a second to 1 second, tops.
heres a visual

i = you

Well I have one, yeah I had some extra money and they were cheap so I thought why not. Its kind of cool, but it does add some weight and it makes the gun unbalanced. You can snap out the left side(or whatever side you have it on) without making a big target.Here's how (http://www.airgun.com/warp_feed.shtml) just read down the page. Or if you wanna save some time I'll tell you. You just rotate the gun since its a force feed.

Sorry, but that's just ignorant. On the side the Warp is mounted, you lean down and just expose the barrel.

Like so,

Now why don't more players use them?
Weight
Balance
It's another thing to get messed up.

About 2 years ago I was taking photos of a local tourney. The best player on the best team was using a Warped Angel. I saw it jam on him in 2 games. Guess where that Warp was at during the match to win the tourney? On the sidelines and off his Angel.

Some people like them. They don't work great for others.

so a warp feed would be good for a player u has a problem shooting with both hands because u wont need to change hands. hmm thats kinda dope i think. i guess if u can put up with the weight and the unbalancing it would be kinda good to have.

Yeah, there are a lot of hoppers that feed faster. I hear a Halo w/ Victory Board can feed 35 bps and the Q-Loader feeds 50 I believe, but thats a different design than most other hoppers....
