Wrap the hopper feedneck with electrical (black) tape until the hopper fits snugly into the marker.

yep, get some tape, or try and find an adjustable clamping feedneck, that will hold it securely.

Don't use tape, it will look so un-professional and bad. Buy a feedneck that matches the color of your Pirahna or get the clear ones that will adjust. But for the ones that adjust make sure their tight after every game as from my expertise they do get lose.

~~~Glad to help~~~

I didnt mean externally wrap the hopper/gun feedneck in tape, i meant wrapping just the hopper's neck alone with say...two or three layers of tape and then sticking it into the feedneck of the gun/elbow. You wont be able to see the tape.

That would work too. But by time the tape will wear out. So I would recommed replacing it every month or 2. Or you can buy the feedneck that matches like I suggested.

tape or a new feedneck will work i just use tape with my revvy so just find what you wont more and use it

**Ryan_Page** · August 6th, 10:42 AM

like they said, and beat me to it, use the electrical tape and wrap it around the bottom of your hopper, do a layer or two, check it, too small still? do another 2 layers, etc, but i cant see it needing more than 2-3 layers.

What Ryan said.

Compression coupler thats what I plan to use.

**Bubbahotep** · August 9th, 11:53 PM

Get a feedneck if its a vertical feed. Or some kind attachment.

If you don't really want the look of electrical tape sticking out of your feed neck, you can just use scotch tape. You'll have to wrap it a few more times than you would with electrical, but it's barely noticeable.

stick an oring in there and then put ur hopper in but cut the o ring so its like a string
and put it in there wiht ur hopper it will make is smaller..

**[^_^x]** · September 18th, 04:17 AM

if u want a permanent fix use silver soder and make 4 beads around the neck. file them down accordingly. Just an idea. Im obsessed with sodering.

***MedicDVG*** · September 18th, 05:13 AM

Just buy a clamping feedneck and be done with it. Tape looks like crap, and o-rings work sometimes and sometimes not. But a good clamping feedneck will hold your hopper very well indeed.

Clamp neck does work, though sometimes they tend to be brittle and break. Yea tape looks like crap sometimes, but whatever it takes to keep that thing on there. I keep a thing of hockey tape in my box. It's 10x better then black electrical for paintball

mmm... tape..... just use duct tape!! Its strong it comes in colours and makes you look pro

... when its in ur bag, not on your gun, lol

**Kyle_18** · September 22nd, 11:09 PM

Couldn't you try and return it then get another? If it is the hopper tube that is too small, try and exchange it for another one at the same value.
