Richket hoppers or however those hoppers that start with a R are spelled.
Marker Setup:
I used a black maxx and a spyder electra deluxe.
Strengths:
Dose'nt jam and feeds pretty good.
Weaknesses:
Nothing really,it jammed only like once or twice.
Review:
On slow shooting guns it has never jammed.Fast shooting guns it will tend to jam a lot.So i recommend a different hopper for those high end fast shooting guns.Good price though.If it does jam then its easy to fix you just gotta shake it around a little,but a hopper is a hopper so not a whole lot I can say about it.
Conclusion:
Get it for entry level markers but if you shoot fast you probably shouldn't get it.

people if your going to play paintball use an electic hopper, why even write a revieww on a gravitational hopper anyway, there all the same
Marker Setup:
Dragunfly autococker, 3000 PSI, VL revolution.
Strengths:
uhh i don't think there are any
Weaknesses:
it's gravitational, so you can't use it on any gun but a mechanical
Review:
people if your going to play paintball use an electic hopper, why even write a revieww on a gravitational hopper anyway, there all the same. they suck. you can only shoot like 3 balll per seond, while i'm blowing you away at 15 balls per second. why not just get a used 9 volt on ebay or somthing for like 20 bucks so that you don't get killed
Conclusion:
don't buy a gravity hopper, i'ts pointless. I used to have on my old spyder and when i shot to fast it would jam, and that was a mechanical gun
i do not know the names but something similar you get with the rentals
Marker Setup:
Tippmann 98 custom, PMI 200 hopper, standard stock, extreme rage air tank
Strengths:
very basic and good. it holds fair amount of paint. It is also very sturdy
Weaknesses:
It pops out sometimes and twists sometimes
Review:
I believe it is a good product that is very sturdy but does has some disadvantages. it has help me so much because it doesn't get jammed for me, but yet i am more of a pop and shoot type of guy. Yet it doesn't hold the most amount of paintballs, it still holds a good amount
Conclusion:
I would totally get it for it easiness and its toughness and it comes in different colors to match your gun
everything i've used has been electric other than this
Marker Setup:
spyder pilot acs 05
halo b with victory board
smartparts progressive barrel
pure enerygy 3000 psi carbon fiber tank with dye rhino cover
dye stickies
red flame drop forward
Strengths:
Teaches you to shoot SLOWER in a way conserves paint due to slower fire rates
Weaknesses:
Slow
Ugly
Nooby look
Review:
Honestly i have no problem with this hopper. No it cant compare to a Halo Or a Egg but you don't need one of those for a 98 or a r-6 or a low bps marker. I love the fact that it teaches you not to go spazzy with the trigger because it will jam if you do. It's a backup for my pilot and honestly i like to use it. Except the fact that if you hace a fast gun and use this people will most likely make fun of you.

Weaknesses:

Review:
It works fine its taken a few hits and not broken so thats good, loads ok no problems, doesnt loader extremely fast, an electro is better for faster firein. Now i just need to meet my min word limit blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
This is just a gravity hopper. You can't expect much out of it. I personally have never had a jam because the kick of blowbacks helps prevent jams. I like this thing a lot better than my Quantum(bought off friend for $5). This marker is meant to be on low-end mechs, and should not be compared to any other hopper except maybe the Quantum or ER Overdrive.
Conclusion:
Don't expect much out of it, but it gets the job done. It can't have any problems unless it breaks or cracks, but its $6 to replace, so its not a big deal.

Strengths:
Durable
Weaknesses:
The paint chips.....but who cares
Review:
Well, at my field they use these on all there crapy rental markers. I must say for the abuse the walk on new guys put them through they hold up very well. They get all scrached up on concreat, droped, and a whole nimber of things hapen to them and the NEVER break. I was impressed. However, its still a gravity hopper. Nothing to get all all crazy about.
Conclusion:
get it if you want a gravity hopper. Overall, it is good, but it is still a gravity hopper so it gets a 7

PMI 200 hopper
Strengths:
CHEAP
Durable
Doesnt jam up to bad
Weaknesses:
Doesnt like having the full "200" rounds in it without jamming
Review:
Preatty good gravity feed-standard hopper. Realitively durable,easy to clean, and CHEAP. BUT it doesnt like the full 200 withou jamming up(that means u have to shake it to unjam it) without jamming about 190 rounds. otherwise it handles nmost situations very well(survied a LOT of hopper hits) Fits basicly EVERY gun.
Conclusion:
If your low on cash and dont play agressively, or have a semi-auto marker get it.
PMI BL VF G3 ..AKA.. Frenzee... 12" Custom Products Barrel... PMI Multi Metal Expansion Chamber..... Delrin Bolt
Strengths:
Does what it's s supposed to do.
Weaknesses:
Lid Opens When Running and Jumping.
Review:
I got this with my first Marker (Which I still use sometimes) It works and does its job. After using it a while and it sitting around when I wasn't paintballing, the lid started opening when I was running and Jumping and still does. I don't think it hold 200 Paintball either. Mabye 170ish.
Conclusion:
Good Hopped I just think I got a Bad one with the Lid Opening and all.
Mach 404 Hopper
Pure Energy N2 Tank
J&J S2 Ceramic One-Piece Barrel
Sight Rail Extension
Brass Eagle Red Dot Sight
Strengths:
Bulletproof
Reliable
Tight fit
Weaknesses:
Gravity feed
Hard to get in the first time
Review:
I bought this hopper because my revvy broke permanently and I didn't have much cash on me. It is very reliable, requires minimal shaking, and actually kept up with my Eforce GTI on 13bps for about 12 balls. You can fill it all the way and hold it upside down on a Pirhana and it won't fall out. Very nice.
Conclusion:
It's very reliable and strong. I would buy it again if my Mach 404 broke and I ran out of money.
