I was thinking of buying one but it want to know if it really works well.
I am a semi-pro paintball player. I have 4 years experience,and i have a Spyder Pilot with a Empire Reloader B hopper. I will tell you if you should buy an electric hopper with my paintball knowledge. You should have an Electric Hopper with certain type of guns. Electric markers (smart parts, dye, spyder) = yes. Semi-automatic markers (tippmann, brass eagle) = No. Tippmanns are an exception. Tippmanns are woodsball guns and in Woodsball, you are looking for accuracy more than how many balls you can shoot so you wouldn't need an electric hopper. I would not get an electric loader if you have a lower end gun. Not many people have electric loaders with tippmanns and rightfully so because your not shooting much more than 5 bps (balls per second), so you wouldn't need a hopper that feeds about 10+ balls per second.. Electric loaders are made because it stops jams with paintballs, and feeds faster for more expensive and higher quality guns that have a high rof (rate of fire). Simply put, if you have a tippmann, brass eagle, viewloader, pump gun, non electric spyder, non electric wgp, or non electric pmi, then the Electric loader is not for you. Most everything else, it would be who or you to get one. Enjoy the sport of paintball, and have fun.
Two questions you need to ask yourself. Does the weight throw off my aim? is number one. If the extra weight don't bother you, do you regularly find yourself getting low in the ammo department and why. If you can keep your hopper loaded, you don't need the help. If you get low and need a ball in there right now!, the assist will help depending on how you load. If you find yourself running low all the time, either work on your aim, or do like the old timers did it. Count your shots. When you get low, duck and reload. (P.S. If you spray and pray lots, don't joint the service. If you shoot with them, the other side don't use paintballs!) Keep safe! Always use body armor and eyewear!
It really depends all on the kind of gun that you have. For instance if you have something along the lines of a spyder Xtra or a tippman 98 or an A-5 and there stock then there really is no need. But lets say that you got an e trigger for your gun which you might already have. I believe most of them are capped at about 14 balls a second so I believe that unless your going full auto all the time you really shouldnt need it. look at it this way. If your BPS exceeds about 10 you may want to get one, and even then I would think about what type of shooting that your doing. They do help but remember in the end that you will have to replace batteries there too every once in awhile.
nicely you're able to OKorder a hopper for low-fee. I have been given a Vlocity for $fifty 5. or you're able to purchase the kind new Invert TOO, that's a quite less high priced hopper that's in simple terms top. and on no account use co2 on your Ion, it quite is going to freeze and the solenoid gets ruined. And as for the mask, i've got a Vents Avatar that's like $70, although because of the fact the you mostly won't spend that plenty, i could could desire to assert a miles low-priced JT with a thermal lense.
