hoppers

Postby stevieB92 » Mon Feb 15, 2010 9:44 pm

im looking at hoppers now that i've decided on the tm-7.

has anyone heard of or had experience of pinokio hoppers. they seem too good to be true.
30+ bps and the option of 230 OR 400 balls, as standard.
the only problem is that i cant find anywhere in the uk that stocks them :cry:

like i said, if anybody knows, let me know.

thanks

P.S. this is there website

230 balls is fine. 400 balls uses the long nose. and thi smigh sounds silly as you dont aim down the hopper. but when looking down the barrel the nose gets in the way a little restircting view etc.

not from personal experiance but its what ive heard

in all seriousness, not trying to be akward,
but i've seen those pinnochio noses come off and that's a lot of paintballs to lose.
also, i have a 400rnd hopper, as you know,
and it weighs a F***ing tonne when it's full,
and no thats not the gun
its the hopper
trust me on this one, the pinnochios good
but i dont think its worth it
my view, and i am usually right
about everything
:-).

P.S ive heard that the halo loader's good

but the halo hold sub 200 rounds whereas the pinokio holds 260ish rounds without the huge nose bit. plus its faster and lighter.

faster in what way ?

roto does 48 bps. altho markers are now caped at 10.5 bps

most hoppers have quick feed or easy opend lids. so refill takes a second or two.
i think with the neck on that hoppers it will be harder to fill. altho will give advantage at the start of a game with extra paint and what not

if its something that you really want
you might just have to get it imported
i want the G3 Spec R but only he states
sell it lol, so ima have to pay out and get
it but if you get it and find you dont like
it you will be one of few to have one in the UK
and could def make your money back on it
if you wanted...

Personally Hopper wise id go with the Rotor
small, compact, looks good and even with the
upgrade to hold more its still smaller than most
hoppers out there.

only trouble with rotor is the weight of it. its a little like me. fast, sexy, good at what it does but heavy
