I dunno, I played against someone with a warp feed a little while ago, and after each day, I've been thinkin more and more about that game. not because the thing fed so fast (which it does though), but because of the profile I was left to shoot at. My target area to hit him, was about 4 inches of goggle, and a barrel. It's ridiculous how small a person can make himself using this thing. Then he came over the top of a bunker. That's one of the biggest paintball no-nos. yet, here this guy was, and he's still a tiny target, even off the top of a bunker. Well I've decided that I've just gotta have one now. So I'm wondering, from anyone who's actually used one, just how much it impedes your view. I myself sight my gun down the left hand side of the body, and then the side of the barrel. Is the warp feed going to block my view when doing this. From the looks, it would block that side completely, but I really dont know, and I'm serious conisdering this after I get my freak. Anyone have any thoughts?

if I remember correctly...it can be mounted on either side of the marker....either way .....you can just aim down the top of the barrel using it......

Hey Twitcho ... check out the new APG ... the article ain't that great, but there's some good photos of a guy using the Warp Feed on an Emag ... some of the photos, he's got the marker sideways firing, at least a 70 degree lean ... and it didn't jam or quit feeding paint ... the head on shots, it looks like the feed is about level with the trigger ... so it's not impeding the line of sight. Very Assume gizmo, if you can afford it.

well, keep in mind more advanced loaders coming out, so you might want to delay just a bit of wait for a perhaps a new force feed system. But, i did have the chance to mount one on my micro mag, and there was no noticable weight differance, but balance seemed slightly odd at first. Just see what you like and like what you see, thats all

I'm not too concerned with speed, I'm just lookin for soemthing to reduce the profile. The emag will feed at 20 bps when full, but when the 8 balls in the wheel run out, it feeds as fast as your revvy feeds. That said, when they come out with 22 bps revvies, I'll be able to feed at a consistent 20 from the warp, AND have the small profile, I'm just lookin to get small, still gotta give it some thought, but thanks for the help guys

I saw an add for the Stealth Loader in the June APG, I don't buy into that "Angled design helps deflect paintballs" bit they're pushing. I've seen paint bust on all sorts of surfaces, at all angles ... I think it's just a marketing gimmick.

Twitcho, is it possible to put a WF on your Intimidator? As far as I know (aboot yea far ---) you can only put the Warp Feed on a gun that has a powerfeed. Unless they've come out with a way to put the Warp Feed on a V/F gun that I haven't heard about, you might need to consider that.
