Ok well i was actually practicing with a virtue spire on top of my alien invasion running it on uncapped semi and i dont believe i skipped a beat it also looks sick as hell and it has a more natural feel to me and i havent said that about a hopper since the vforce revolution came out. Its lighter than my pinokio and might feed a bit faster but i dont think it holds as much

the pinikio definitely holds more than the spire. the spire holds around 200, while the pinikio is in the 215 or 220 range if i remember right.

Does it really matter how fast the hoppers feed anymore? I know everything can feed faster than humans can pull the trigger... |

Shooting as fast as possible, and still not even coming close to outshooting your hopper...

Was sent back to Valken twice to be fixed, recieved back to me twice still not feeding over 10 bps. Sold it. I know what the issue is, someone on the nation found it and can fix them for $10. Too bad I didn't find out before I ditched it.

Yeah, you'd be better off with a used Prophecy, or splurge and get a rotor.

Personally I'd rather save $20 and get a used prophecy...

Since I use rechargeables, I actually do like the Spyder over the Prophecy. Hold ABOUT the same, Spyders lighter, batteries last longer, and they use standard Halo Speedfeeds, which means in a pinch, you can still grab the trusty garbage disposal insert and throw on your hopper.

Well, you can use rechargables in the prophecy too. Personally, I don't like the way the Fasta looks, and how high it sits on the marker. All around, it just seems bigger, but then again, I'm a Rotor fan...

Ok so a few guys that work at my local field made their own torture test for a few hoppers and the spire help up the longest the first to go down was the halos then the prophecy then the fasta rotor and pinokio all went down all at the same time then the vmax and the spire finally went down when they hooked a car battery up to its motor and pssst the spire started to spin and pop it kinda blew up
