This should End Alot of those "Good hopper for x $'s" kinda questions...
There are basicly 3 types of hoppers. Gravity fed, Agitated and Force Fed.
When you first get a gun, IT will probably come w/ a Gravity Fed hopper. No batteries and you have to shake it all the time.
Once yopu start shooting faster, you will notice that you will break alot of paint. thios is because you are "outshooting" the hopper. Which means that you are shooting faster then the hopper Can feed. Most Gravity fed hoppers can only feed about 7-8 BPs or Balls Per second
Then you will probably Discover the 12vlt. Revolution hopper by Viewloader. this hopper Retail for around $50-$60. this is a Basic Agitaded Hopper. Other hoppers in this Catagory are the Richochet Series (around $60 or so), The new Halo TSA Front man and Back man (about $70 for LED and like $85 or so for LCD model) You also have the Enmpire Reloader which is a Sound Activated Hopper and cots around $50. You also have some of the more "crummy hoppers" like the Zap "vibrator" loader and Extream Rage loader. All of these loaders feed about 13 BPS
The next Catagory you have is a Cross-breed Kinda hopper. It's called the Evolution II. Also known as the Egg or Egg2. This hopper Uses in a sence both Force feed and Agitation. IT retails for about $80, and you can also buy an Upgrade board for $25 which makes it feed around 16 BPS
The Final Type of Hopper is called the Force Feed. Only 1 hopper on the market uses Force Feed technology and that is the Halo B. IT ustilizes a Spring driven "drive cone" to have constant tention on the pballs so imidiatly after 1 is shot, another is Driven right into it's place. Some guns have problems w/ these type's of hoppers b/c of the force they feed paintballs at. A second type of Froce Feed hopper wich is the Halo B but with a different board in it is called the Reloader B, madfe by Empire Paintball. This is the Same as a Halo B but instead of usuing Eyes to detent paint, it uses the Sound of the gun being fired.
Both hoppers feed about 22+ BPS.
I hope this helped with all those Questions.
