Get the EGG. Its alot better loader, and look at how popular it is compared to a ricochet, and for good reason. The Egg has great battery life, and a somewhat good shell. It feeds pretty fast and has a better propeller than the ricochet.

Well, the screw holes are really weak. Just dont ream on them and you will be fine. Also the battery door was a weakness but on the newer ones they got it fixed.

Out of those two, get the Evo. However, If I were you I would look into some used Halo B's and Empire B's.

Ug, i hate Halo's. Ive seen so many of them break or have something go wrong with them. IMO a used Vlocity would be much better.

My gun is capped at 20 bps, so a 23 bps hopper wouldn't make sense.

well if you're ever going to reach 20 bps, the egg2 wont keep up, and In all seriousness, the egg3 wont reach 23 bps. Definitely look for a used halob/reloaderb or vlocity/vlocity jr.

I won't ever be shooting 20 bps, because it's a waste of paint...

The only thing i hate about the evo2's is the inconsistent rate of feed they have, If the Vlocity Jr. i consistent it will be much better than the evo2. Also since the evo3 is faster it will produce a higher average rate so that is something to look into too.

How is that possible, that the Ricochet can only do 7 bps?

From a DEAD stop you would move the stack that is in the feed neck before the hoper starts to agitate in this case because of a gap. That gap can cause a ball to be choped at higher rates of fire. While in if your going full auto that gap is smaller as the hoper is now refilling the stack about as fas as the gun fires
