Just so you can carry 1/4 of a case with you.....well almost...

Here's your hopper!

Good Gods!

I just got my first A5 to tinker with and already feel like its top-heavy and imbalanced to the right with just a tac-cap on it. I can't imagine how far that thing must list with 450 rounds hanging outside of and above the axis of the marker.

My wrists hurt just looking at it.

Then go work out some more.

I tried running with something like this once, back when I had more firepower then skill.
Since I have since improved the latter, a hopper like this, or even a semi marker like an A-5 is no longer necessary.

Im sorry, I didnt mean to shoot you in the head... oh wait thats not your head

I use one but I'm thinking about going to an 1,100 hopper since the 450 is a little small

it looks exactly like the Allen Paintball Products (APP) version. They've been out for awhile now.

We used two of the APP 450's on additional offset hoppers (500ish ea x2) for our electro double A5 that was at Dday.

There's a guy I know of named Hornet who goes to local blackcat scenario games who has a home-made A5 hopper that holds around 800 rounds. Ridiculous? I'd say so, but in the scenario game, it's just awesome

.

So, for those who want to put up with the offset weight.....go for it.

All that is to me is a bigger, easier target when I shoot you with my pyre

Yea I'm holding one now, and they look the same. I'll end up getting one of those just to test and see which one is better. I'll go with APP, as they've never let me down.

Is APP largest a 400 rounder?....or do they have a 450 rounder also?
