poorly made
Review:
This was my first elec. hopper and when I first got it I was surprised how heavy it was. I tried it out and it was soooooo annoying! The hopper has 3 modes but it seems like the first 2 are slower than a standard hopper! Even when I set it to the 3rd mode it was barely noticeable! And just after a few uses the battery started dying.
Conclusion:
You do not want this hopper!!! It doesn't stop spinning and is a waste of money!!!

Review:
first off when i got this thing it was my first electro hopper so i needed a cheap one.little did i no that this thing when on sounds like there is a war going on.if i yell COVER RIGHT!COVER RIGHT!i cant even hear myself.save ur money and buy a revvy or reloader 2 (awesome).if ur new to the game and u shoot under 10bps get it .i kinda over reacted on how loud it is but its still pretty loud.it has three modes which are pointless 6-8 9 and 10 bps.if u have a low mechanical high end mech or low electronic gun consider it but im tellin u get a revvy or reloader 2.get it as a bak up if u want but be sceptical.
Conclusion:
Overall this thing is big loud and heavy.Save your money and get a revolution or reloader2.I'm giving it a 2 because it holds and feeds balls.

I dislike this hopper very much, I would rather use my old gravity feed because that is what use this as, a simple gravity. The hopper is way to loud to even think about using in the woods, and when on the tounament mode, it chops about every other 5 paintballs. I have no use for this and I wish I could take it back.
Conclusion:
I would not recommend this item to anybody that is wishing to have stealth but speed in their hopper, even though the price is good, the hopper is horrible.
This hopper IS BAD dont get it!!! it has no sensor so it stays on forever and gets so annoying. get any other hopper. i regreted haveing this hopper. it is not even good for a noob DO NOT GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...................................... ............................................................ ................................Please just dont get this hopper i prefer u to get any other hopper if u want a good hopper u would want the egg or the halo.
this hopper is one of the worst hoppers I've ever used
every one on the field knows were you are! its too loud
"were are they" enemy 1
"over there, i hear his hopper" enemy2
yes that happend to me, and yes i did get marked.
I dont kow what else to say. iI cant think of fifty words about this pice of crap.
(Wait i just did)
Conclusion:
Dont buy this hopper. Everyone will know were you are!
Aci Felon - Black
E-Trigger
Extreme Rage Overdrive Loader
14" J&J Ceramic Barrel

Strengths:
Not Exspensive
Hard Shell
3 modes
1 9v battery
Weaknesses:
Loud
Review:
Ok this was the first E-loader ive ever used and i thought it was the best untill i tryed the Reloader. This is a good hopper for speeds ball and a fast hopper. But if you play ALOT of woods ball this is not the hopper for you. This hopper has a constant feed rate and is very loud in the woods. The shell is very nice and the price is very nice too. So if you play alot of speeds ball and you cant shoot over 10bps then this is the hopper for you. But if you play woods ball i would recommend you get the Empire Reloader and a VL 200 shell.
Conclusion:
This is a great hopper to have because of the price. But overall it deserevs a 7 because of the constant feed rate and loud sound it makes.

Halo Frontman TSA E'hopper

Strengths:
Inexpensive,
Simple
built out of durable materials
Weaknesses:
Slightly slow
Review:
I bought this hopper as a back up for the fusion, my son's SLG, and for my nephews to use when they play with us. We have our markers set at 15 bps.The Overdrive is rated at 9 bps so it is a little slow. I bought it for only $17, so it wasn't much of a risk. I was a little concerned about it being loud after reading other reviews. It was certainly no louder than VL Force that my Brother in law is using. It just slightly louder than my son's Egg 2. It worked flawlessly all day. The battery life was ok. We played about 3 1/2 hours. Of course we turned it off between rounds, and usually didn't turn it on until ready to shoot, but it was fine. The Fusion didn't chop a ball all day with the Overdrive Hopper feeding it. However, since we were playing woodsball, the Fusion wasn't being pushed too hard for speed. The 9bps rating is about right when my son and I tested it.
Conclusion:
This is sweet durably made hopper for a beginner.

Spyder pilot acs 05
16" smart parts linear barrel
extream rage overdrive hopper
Strengths:
Cheap
Takes a beating and keeps going
Weaknesses:
Belt slips but u can fix that
Noise
Is always on
Review:
When i first started paintball i picked this hopper up for like 30$. When i first used it, it was a hunky of junky but a little brain power made it 100% better. All i did was put a striker o ring as the belt drive and the funnle moved so much faster and didnt slip.At first it was feeding at 9 bps now mine goes 12-13 balls per second. A simple little upgrade like that bad it so much better. at first i would have given it a 6 but now ill give it a 8
Conclusion:
I say pick up for the low cost and get a striker o ring and put it on.

98 Custom wicked bolt, flatline, trinity springs, sliding stock, and a 9v. evil rage cyclone hopper....
a-5, double trigger, whisper barrel, trinity drive springs, GtA ex chamber, laser.
Strengths:
Cheap, feeds faster then a stock hopper.
Weaknesses:
Noisy, always spinning. chows down on 9 volts.
Review:
First off I have the version 2.0........ the only reason I bought this hopper was because it was on clearance and it was like 15 bucks. I play woods ball so the worst part about the hopper is you have to turn it off when ur are trying to hear people move around, and it jams up unless its running. I read that the belt slips..... On mine I put my finger on the wheel and it didnt slip at all.... I also have to say that is you have it on the fastest speed and your low on balls they'll bounce around, and not feed.
Conclusion:
I'd buy it if you just want a cheap hopper thats not gravity fed, I'd buy this..... I mean all in all its a good product for the price...... I give it a 5 because of the battery comsumption and noise..
-Spyder Pilot Camo.
-Co2/12 & 9 oz.
-32 Degrees Whisper barrel or stock barrel.
Strengths:
-Cheap.
-Easy to use.
-Feeds like a gravity loader when not on.
Weaknesses:
-Loud.
-Bulky.
-Somewhat heavy.
Review:
-This hopper has been a life-saver. Since i'm not the kind of player with money coming out of my ears, this hopper is an awesome deal.
-It can't be compared to Egg's or Halo's but it works without any of the problems that you find in the high-end hoppers.
-My friends and i have used this hopper with our low-end markers and have found it virtually flawless.
-We shot two hoppers full at once and never broke a ball. It can even keep up when your moving and aiming pretty well.
Conclusion:
-Get it if you can't afford the more expensive hoppers and save your money ffor playing and upgrading.
-Extreme Rage really knew what it was doing when it made this hopper.
