I would like a not so noisy electronic hopper
Any suggestions on a not so noisy electronic hopper because I play woodsball and that ever so annoying sound of the hopper kind of gives your position away. Also for the plain fact I don't like loud hoppers. Thank you.
Preferably one that isn't going to make me sell my house to purchase.

use a gravity hopper. are you shooting so much in woodsball that you need a forcefed hopper?

Like no vlocity loud? Maybe a revolution or Egg, even thought the balls are loud when they rattle around in the egg.

Any decent electronic hopper is only going to run while your shooting your gun, so the sound of your gun is going to be louder than your hopper anyways. What are you using now.

They also have those gravity feed hoppers out now with some adjustment done to it where you don't have to constantly shake it.

What are you using now that you consider loud? VLocitys and Pulses both pulse constantly (unless for the VLocity you put it on setting 1, and you get the RF chip for the Pulse), so those two you probably don't want.
Unless you plan on shooting fast, I'd just get a revvy if I were you. They only spin when there's a gap in the feedneck, which means if it's spinning you're either shooting, or the hoppper is empty and the sound of a pod opening is probably louder than the of the motor.

the revvy is the best thing for this job. There is also a special gravity feed hopper that feeds a bit faster as it prevents blowback.

a viewloader revolution is known as a "revvy" it's slang. Make sure to get one w/ a x-board.

Yes, Revvy is what everyone calls the VL Revolution.
Don't bother with gravity fed hoppers, they're next to useless.

Unless you're buying used, they all come with the X-board now.
