I was getting all of my stuff together to paintball this weekend and found that I can't locate my hopper. I'm sure that I'll find it later, but it was a used Egg II that I had gotten for a quick $15. I'm wondering what would be a good Hopper to purchase? I was thinking about a Halo Odyssey Halo Backman or Front Man LED TSA Paintball Loader - Black ~ OR ~ Spyder Fasta LED 9v Paintball Loader - Black ~ OR ~ Viewloader eVLution 3 Paintball Loader - Black

Which one do yall think would be the best bet? They are all about the same in price and I would like to stay around that price. I'm sure that I will be upgrading my marker eventually, but no time soon. Something that will be good for more than just my marker would be great as well.

Thanks in Advanced

Go with the egg3.

the spyder fastfa is the best option out of those. it's actually force fed rather than being agitated.

Also look into the new viewloader revolution that's also force fed.

Personally I'd just limit it down to Halo B and egg3, you should try and go for the V18 LED same as LCD basically, and 10 bucks less. The halo B may feed faster, but is heavy and holds less then the egg, but the Fasta V18 LED Is much faster then halo B, holds more, feeds better, Lighter, and is only $80!!

eVLution 3 AKA Egg3 Features:
* 23 balls per second feed rate
* 200 ball count capacity
* Jam-free 6 blade flexible paddle
* Spill proof spring loaded lid can be locked
* LED low battery indicator
* Vision system recognizes dark or black shell paintballs
* ONLY 2 bps lower than Halo B!
* Half the price of a Halo B!
* $60
Halo B Features:
* 25 Balls per second feet rate
* 180 ball count capacity
* A variety of colors for it
* Tight lid, Stays on
* Strong shell
* $100 - $120

Fasta v18 LED Hopper features:
* 30 ball per second feed rate!
* 230 ball count capacity!
* Audio alert
* Low battery indicator
* Lighter then halo B
* Auto shut off
* Basically same as LCD
* Only $80!!

God, I wrote this the second this thread was up, had to go for like a hour, came back, looked up a bit more info, and finally got it, GOD...

don't believe the advertised stats about any hopper, they're simply not true.

noobie, the halo B rocks the eggys world. eggys are fragile and break too easily. you can also get a used halo b for $60-$80.

Edit:
the eggy is still better than any loader you mentioned, except maybe the fastfa.

I need to edit it a bit, I did a lil, but I've checked a couple sights, and I've read like a 30 reviews of each.

Edit: The fasta does look pretty good, I'm actually thinking about getting one.

[MattyJay88]

either a halo b or egg3

[noobie_noober]

Meh, try the Fasta V18 LED, the LCD is a ten bucks more and the V9 LED is a ten bucks less, but the LCD is basically the same as the LED, while the V18 is twice as long lasting as the V9. Go with the fasta, more room then the Egg3 and the halo B and faster then the Halo B and egg3.

I guess I should have stated that I'm still very much a beginner. I have been looking over reviews and talking with my cousin that's been playing for years and I'm going to go simple. He uses a basic type like the VL Revolution with his Orical(sp) and I'm sure that would be more than enough for me. I might go ahead with the Egg3, but it depends on what deals I find.

Thanks for your responses!

Halo is the most reliable and durable out of all those options.

[HamSlap]

yeah I just don't think the Halo is in the cards now. I thaught I was going to have more money, but now it looks as though I'm only at around 50.00 and that has to include shipping. I found some good deals on a few VL Revolutions with X Board on Ebay. I'm going to check my local shop tomorrow before buying.

Well you can you use the fasta later in your paintballing life, It will benifet you in the long run. The fasta holds more then the halo, lighter, cheaper, better battery life.
My friend use to have a halo, but wanted to try the fasta Because he's gonna get a shocker and figured the fasta might be fast :O, so he tried it, He's never broke it, Its pretty durable, unless you do something stupid it will break.

The eye force. For 50$, it's a better hopper than the egg...

[kenny_1491]

for the money, revvy. for the performance, reloader/halo b.

[txaggie08]

I have not been impressed with revvies since BE took over production.......

[HamSlap]

I picked one up for $15 from the local shop. They are having a great mark down on the Revolutions because they aren't going to be making them anymore. I'll pick up a better hopper later when I finally upgrade to a better marker. I'll be a more experienced player and need the extra ball space and ability to fire faster.

[noobie_noober]

1$5 Revvy?

[martix_agent]

yeah. they cam out with a force fed revy so apparently they're trying to sell off the old agitated ones.
