Is the claim of such limited quantities really true? I picked up one of these in a shop in VA back in the late 90s. Now I wish I hadn't let it go...

They arent rare, more uncommon. it was too big, and the 18v mod was common, but not really a blessing as it either burnt up motors or destroyed paintballs.

I always wanted to get shot in the hopper....

If you really want to get shot in the hopper, get one of these:

I saw one on some kids Model 98 at the field this weekend, and they're so much bigger than that picture makes them look. It's kind of like having a bowling ball on top of your gun.

They look impressive when used in pairs with warps on a Palmer Nasty Phoon.

............600 paintballs coming two at a time....... better have swimming trunks with that much paint in your face.

They were kinda rare. What is rarer were the ones that were the vl 2000 and 3000 that were made of this rubbery material. Designed to catch bounces. Weird stuff.

I remember those, they made soup in your hopper after taking the hit. Always broke at least one ball inside after being hit in the hopper.
