Post Whore Join Date: Sep 2006 | Mystery Hopper.
Anybody remember the name of this one? I think it came out around 88-90 or so. It was made of something similar to PVC yet thicker and more sturdy then a "Whaler" and loaders like that. I believe Navarone was a sponsered team for the manufactorer. Sorry my MSP skills really stink, but it looked something like this: If I remember correctly it was cylindrical in shape & held maybe 70-80 rounds. The hardware on the right side of the picture represents a a collar that surrounded the body of the hopper. To load, the user would turn the collar to the top side of the hopper and there was a hole (shown with the dashes) where the paintballs went in. If anybody has a name or picture I'd appreciate it. Thanks!! ![]() |

"One Armed Bandit"...? ![]() ![]() ![]() LOL! I kinda remember it having a sterotypical paintball name, but I couldn't have pulled that one out of my memory in a 100 years. ![]() I think I used mine for a couple outings then gave it away. Still, for the time I remember it being made of good quality components. I just didn't care for how it worked. Thanks man!! |

The company that made it is "B Cubed". They also made a "hip clip" which held two pods, which were sections of plastic pipe closed off on one end which would plug into the rotating loading cuff. Brassballs has a one arm bandit on his RTP Viper.

Nice find! ![]() Thanks T222. I'd forgotten that pizza man took over as Capt. after Andy G. had left the team. I think one of the girls on the cover photo was a daughter of his. Wow! Constant Pursuit. Another long gone California pro team. |

I believe it was either Evil Brother or Schmavis, who let me shoot a viper in the Hell Survivors chrono, I have to agree! Did they ever make SC vipers? I'm not too familiar with them. That hopper is a great idea! It's amazing some of the things people have come up with. Rob
