I'm looking for a hopper that is quiet so I can hear whats going on around me, but is still capable of keeping up with my spyder when its on full auto. I normally only use semi, but I would like to use full auto for those end of the day tattoo games! Does anyone have any suggestions? I think a sound activated hopper is probably best for me. I'm currently using a vl200, I've had a few feed problems on semi auto, and can't even try full auto. I've looked into the q-loader, but I don't think that is for me. I would appreciate any and all suggestions! Thanks!

I own a Tippmann 98 Custom w/ a Response Trigger, and I use a Viewloader Revolution 12volt. Can't complain because it keeps up with my gun and only occasionally agitates (resulting in a quieter piece of machinery). They're also cheap, they go for around $50. Not to mention the huge variety in colors. Make sure you purchase one with the X-Board.

If you must have a sound activated hopper, or you're feeling like taking a chance, check out the Halo TSA. They're around $65 and come with the Halo name. Never seen or used one though, so buy at your own risk.

only thing that can keep up with my spyder on FA (15bps) is my Evolution 2. I also hear nice things about that reloader , the sound activated one and the Halo TSA (not the force fed one).

BTW, Those end of the day games still dont allow full auto.

the spyders board is capped at 13 bps? I'd say 12 volt X board rev and turn the BPs down to 10 for full auto. If thats not possible go with an evlution. I've had an evlution with Z board also Y board, and two ricochets (AK and 2k both the same) . The ricos were great for autocockers and shockers and any other mid speed gun. But they can't keep up with a fast electro trigger even with mine set at 9 bps, as soon as all the balls in the tube run out i get chops. The Y board feeds about 15-16 consitanly and the Z board maybe 18-19 if your lucky. The evlutions seem to be much more consitant then the agiated hoppers tho, I liked my evo but it was kind of akward and junky but it did its job on my RT pro-carbine and kept up once I got the Z board.

Thanks for all your help guys. I'll look into all of them, but I think I will end up going with the Revy with X board. Oh Azzy, I always see people using A-5's with response trigger at the end of the day. Is that allowed?? I don't need full auto anyways, there are other legal ways of getting 15 bps. :D Thanks for letting me know though.

Richochet has a new 18v loader out that can feed 17bps. Getting good reviews, not sure on availability though.

good question, a couple years back i got hoot and hollered for using a bounce from one of the guys, but it was at the end of the day and i brushed it off. he was the only guy that said anything to me. i didnt overshoot anyone or anything like that he was just mad cause we kicked his arse all day and wanted to complain about something.
