Review:
I think the egg 3 is a realy good hopper and with a home made speed feed is great because with the stock lid it is hard to load and opening is awkward but still once u have the hang of it it is alright to use and maintain also cleaning is easy aswell.
Conclusion:
Realy good hopper

Bit back heavy (not sure if weak though)
Front side (hit there quite a bit)
Review:
I got this loader 3 weeks ago. 60 bucks off actionvillage. Pretty good deal in my opinion. I put it on my vexor eye, but had an issue with the feedneck of my gun being too big, so electrical tape fixed that. Performed a couple drop tests, and it did well. Later, I had the chance to use it paintballing. The eggy 3 was very consistent with its feeding. I was able to shell out a bit more paint than usual, but it all went well. The only problem I had was that the front side was a bit of a target when poking out of a bunker, but I've fixed that in how I position myself with the bunker. All in all, it works very well, and delivers a good feed rate.
Conclusion:
If you're looking for a loader that feeds well, but you don't have the money for a halo,empire, or pulse, then go with this.
Spyder VS2
Evolution 3
Pure Energy 48ci Hpa tank
PMI 14 inch Barrel
Strengths:
Fast Hopper and really built strong!
Weaknesses:
Lid is hard to fill with pod.
Review:
This hopper is a great one. If your looking to not spent $100 bucks or more on a halo then get the evolution 3 it works just like a halo and just as fast. The only thing wrong with the egg 3 is the lid is hard to fill and open while playing but you will catch on to it. Overall this hopper is fast and the style of it is just amazing on eof viewloaders best products!
This is a very nice hopper. I got it because my halo broke and the paintball shop gave me most of my money back and an eggy 3. I really think its great. It feeds 23 balls per second, it never jams and balls never break. My friend accidently dropped it once and it still works perfectly fine.
Conclusion:
Overall I would really reccomend getting the Viewloader eVLution 3. Its a great hopper and you wont be dissapointed. Im gonna give it a
ion,roller tigger,feedneck,qev,evil reg, evo 3 egg loader, 3000 psi tank
phantom pump, 12 gram co2, 15 rnd loader
Strengths:
Price
Strength
deflects paint
Weaknesses:
Kind of loud
Review:
This loader is the best loader in its price range. It is very inexpensive compared to the halo b because i got it for $60 and a new halo is about $90. It only feeds 2 bps less than the halo. The only problem is that its kind of loud but that doesnt matter because the gun is louder.
Conclusion:
For anyone looking for an inexpensive loader that is still good quality this is it!!!!!!
05 Spyder Pilot ACS:
Lapco feedneck with holes
68/4500 nitro duck
Dye Sticky grips
Chaos barrel
Strengths:
Great hopper for its price, 23 bps, keeps up with most markers
Weaknesses:
Sort of loud, Batteries die fast, short feedneck, (minor weaknesses.)
Review:
I got this hopper after my halo b broke. I didnt want to pay to much money for another halo b so i got the egg 3 instead. I was impressed, it performed very well, it kept up with my Spyder Pilot ACS, and it took beatings hard without getting damaged.
Conclusion:
I recommend everyone who wants a great hopper for a good price. It shoots just 2 bps lower than a halo b but it costs nearly half the price.
Some people might say that this hopper is loud and bulky.
Bulky... maybe, loud? Who cares! When shooting 20bps theres noise no matter what! And it's not the smallest one out there for sure. Maybe if someone was trying to be stealthy in woods ball and there gun had a silencer then it might be loud but for speed ball its fine. Its about the same noise level as my cocker so i can complain.
Conclusion:
Some people say to go with a Halo B. If you have the extra money to sink into it then maybe you should. But If your looking for something cheep to spit out balls faster then you can shoot them this is your hopper.

Though it is pretty darn quick, it occassionaly doesnt keep up with the FS7.
Review:
I heard horror stories about the durability of the evo 2...but the III has proven pretty darn tough. I am on my second shells for the frontman and B, so I am not exactly easy on while playing. The evo III has held up very well with no problems.
Not sure if it is just looks, me adjusting to it or what, but it sits and feels much different then any other hopper I have used. It feels like it sits high on the gun, but that could just be me.
Battery life has been great!
23 bps stock...I wish I could out shot the hopper consistently....but that rarely to never happens.
Conclusion:
Inexpensive, quick, stylish (when you get use to it)...was a good buy for me. I give it an 8.5/10 (B+) rating... (sits higher then I like and doesnt boast the 30+ bps), but for the price, wow.

Review:
this hopper saved quite a bit of money in my pocket for almost buying a empier hopper.
i tested an empire and fell in love with it..........at least i thought before i shot the egg 3 when i got home with it i was decepointed with the looks at first but when i had 30 balls going down the field i couldnt be happier with it it shot way way way way better the the emiper
GET IT and if some says its ugly chanllenge them
Reasons:
fast
tough
cheaper and better then halos pulse and a litte bit more then an empire.
