unless you have some sort of firepower upgrade (ebolt/egrip/r/t) you dont really need a fast hopper right away.

grab a HPA tank and maybe a cheap reg if you can find one. it makes a huge difference in accuracy.

Here are three questions you need to answer me- How fast do you shoot, what upgrades did you get for the marker, and what tank are you using. If you answer this i will get back to it ASAP

[cheddarbob]

Might as well just get the hopper. A gravity hopper cant even seem to keep up with rapid firing with a single trigger and its ineveitable that you are going to do something like that (rapid fire). As far as choosing one over the other, in my opinion id just get the hopper first it sucks breaking paint and losing accuracy, never used dealt with HPA, but my opinion is just through reasoning.

[tgs-killer]

exactly, there you go a straight forward answer. Dont bother goin with nitrogen until you get an electronic marker, cus n2 just doesnt give you enough shots + its alot of money so id go with a viewloader revolution or an Eggy2

[paintballa665]

Alright which hopper should I get?

[tgs-killer]

depending on how fast you shoot w/ a single trigger id go with a viewloader revoution or for the money and quality go with the viewloader evolution 2

get the reloader 2. Tippy's run farely well on HPA. If you want you could get your co2 tank anti-siphoned.

But other than that just get the reloader 2: http://www.pbreview.com/products/reviews/3258/

Look in my sig below to see my set up. My rt is set at around 8 bps

Is it true that u have to sand the Empire Reloader II down to fit the 98 custom?

[G 2]

Dont know but its ok if you do. Its farely easy to sand. Just take sandpaper and wrap it around the feedneck and rub it around as if you were trying to screw it in. Sands down pretty quickly.

I would go with a new hopper first. I just don't see the point of HPA when your RT is still saddled down by a gravity feed loader. I'd look at the Apache, Egg2, or Cyclone.

[Raleigh Allen]

Go for the cyclone. Unless your planning on getting a new a gun like a ion or something. If you are then get a eggy 2 or some other thing.

[paintballa665]

Im planning on getting an ion after a hopper than hpa.

[John Sullivan]

I'd go ahead and get hpa if your planning on getting an ion soon. It doesn't sound like your gonna be upping your tippmann much and a fast hopper on a stock tippmann is useless. unless it's a revvy or reloader, but then you'd have to buy a new one with your ion whitch is also a stupid decision. Hpa imo.

Edit i assumed you didn't have a response trigger. In that case I'd get an eggy and hpa right after.

[paintballa665]

Alright so save up for an ion first then get a hopper and hpa?

[tgs-killer]

dude just save up for an ion pro and worry about the n2 and hopper after you get that. Heres a link-http://bradyspaintball.com/smpaionprobl1.html
