it's black for stealth (cough)
it's plastic
it holds 200 paintballs
Weaknesses:
neck is too long (sand it)
lid pops off
Review:
this is a basic hopper. i dont have enough money for an electro one, but i usually dont shoot fast enough to need one (i prefer sniping). The lid pops off and you're screwed if it does. I put some duct tape on it. Duct tape fixes everything.
gee it's just like every other non-electro hopper out there. works for me.
Conclusion:
works fine, make sure you shut the lid tightly or you'll regret it. 10 because i'm in a good mood.

cheap

Weaknesses:
not terribly fast
Review:
This is the basic loader that just about everyone starts out with. There isn't a whole lot to say; it gets the job done well, and is definitely affordable. No batteries to replace, too. I think I'll just stick with this because I don't shoot too many balls anyway.
Conclusion:
Buy it if you dont want to spend 50 dollars or more, and know you have a slower trigger finger and wont shoot as many balls as other people.
It is the same as any normal (non-electric) hopper, it holds 200 paintballs, you can shoot fast untill they jam, it is kinda easy to clean, or if you just want to mess around with ur no0b friends, or whatever. This is a great product for low spenders, or no0bies.
Conclusion:
Buy this cause it is the same as any non-electric hopper, will not the 240 hoppers but they are all the same. so i gave it a 10

Review:
Ok its not a revy its a normal hopper. It does its job it feeds the paint I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE I DONT HAVE ENOUGH WORDS>> ITS A HOPPER WHO CARES IT DOES ITS JOB ITS A AVERAGE HOPPER OF COURSE ITS A AVERAGE HOPPER YOU CANT FIX A HOPPER LIKE THIS LET ME SUBMIT THIS THIS TIME!!
Conclusion:
it does its job, and you cant improve it its a average hopper
Mine is cracked, i hate stuff that breaks, this broke fairly easy matter of fact.One of Viewloaders cheaper models, and personally i dont really like it.Buy an electic loader instead, useless spending money on this..I mean it feeds balls just fine, but another 20 or so dollars and you can get an electric which would be 10 times better than this.Again on top of all that its not too durable
Conclusion:
Better products out there.Fine for a rec baller, if you plan on entering tourneys and such i wouldnt advise it

Review:
this hopper is very durable. my friends shattered once only because it was shot by this guy whos velocity was 390. u can take off 1 side and put on a clear one so one side is clear and one side is black (it looks cool) the top springs up when u open it unlike the hoppers that come stock on most BE markers. sometimes it comes out of my gun because my gun has a lot of kick (its a samurai) the tope stays on good
Conclusion:
i like this hopper because its very durable and it has a spring lid
-Durable
-Holds 200 balls
-Spring-loaded lid
-Wide loading hole
-Easy to load
-Inexpensive
Weaknesses:
None
Review:
I've been using this hopper for a while and it works pretty well. I never had balls jam up on me and they rarely break in it. The huge mouth makes it easy for quick reloads. It's really inexpensive. Since it's not shiny, it doesn't draw another player's attention to you while you're sneaking through the woods.
Conclusion:
It's a pretty good hopper that I recommend to everyone. It's great for the price.

10 out of 10

i've used friends gun's with pmi hoppers, and java hoppers, they are a lot better than this one.
Marker Setup:
02 Spyder Compact Deluxe 2000 Java
Java Expansion Chamber and Bottomline system
Smart Parts 14" Teardrop barrel
Strengths:
it's cheap!!!!
Weaknesses:
it's a piece of junk. lid pops open and it cracks easily
Review:
I guess for 10 bucks, you don't expect much, but i still expect some kind of quality. The hopper lid flips open every couple of minutes and when you least expect it, all your paintballs fall open. I've only used it for a short time now, and the feed tube is already starting to crack.
98 custom
12V Revy W/ Xboard
14 in. Terminator Barrel
Strengths:
holds 200
durable
Weaknesses:
not electric so it can Jam
Review:
Well I used this for a few years and it wasn't horrible but it also wasn't the best. If you need a hopper for a gun with a low ROF then this is fine. If you have a fast trigger finger then I would suggest something a bit better. There isn't much to say its just a simple hopper I guess the clear lid is good so you can see how many paintballs you have left.
Conclusion:
well this is an ok product. I would say buy it if you are just getting into paintball will a gun that has a slow ROF. It beats 45 rnd hoppers.
