I used this hopper for pump play, and it is cheap. The bad thing about it is that it sticks up way to high. I used mine for a day and was sick of it only because I kept getting shot in the hopper. If your going for that low profile look...grab a sportshot.

Cons: grav feed
This loader is the best loader for the starting player or a pump player.

Pros:

-Price: It is only $16! This is a great value for what this loader does.

-Fast: I think this feeds about 6-7 bps. I put it on my Ego X and set it to ramp to about 8 bps and turned the eyes off. There werre quite a few shots with just air. I turned it down to 7 and I had hardly any air shots if I shook it while I shot. When I turned it down to 6 bps it was able to keep up with minmal shaking. I tested a grav feed the same way and it made about 3-4 bps with a little shaking.

-Looks: From a distance this looks like a dye rotor.

Cons:

-Grav-feed: It of course is a grav feed. Which means that you might have to do some shaking to clear up the balls at some times which is rather noisy if you are a woodsplayer.

Summary:

-If you play woodsball this is a good choice though it maybe slightly noisy at times

-If you play speedball it will not be able to keep up with your gun

Overall: A great beginners/ pumplayer loader

I only used this hopper once because shortly after I bought it I saw an Invert 2 and a Carbon Fiber Tank for 50$ and he would only sell them together. (so if you want to buy mine pm me). The hopper was awesome i went from having atleast one chape per round to maybe 1 chop a day and it may have even been a barrel break. It looks preety sexy right out of the box and is ready to go. I would recomend to any pump, mech and even some electric marker players!!!!

Proto Paintball Primo Excellent hopper for woodsball and scenario games where throwing down heavy ropes isn't needed. Feeds a solid 8bps, sometimes a little more if you have some luck, so you won't be left undergunned. I...

Excellent hopper for woodsball and scenario games where throwing down heavy ropes isn't needed. Feeds a solid 8bps, sometimes a little more if you have some luck, so you won't be left undergunned. I love using it for scenario games so that I don't have to worry about batteries or upkeep for an electric hopper. Great little hopper to keep as a backup too.

What i liked about this hopper was the looks and weight, it was lightweight and easy to fill. And its worth its price.

What i didnt like, was the jamming problem, i am a speedballer, this was my first hopper and i always got a jam after 10 shots.

Other then the jam its a good hopper.

Cons: You still have to shake it once in a while
An absolutely great value for just $15. I was tired of trying to unload on a guy but finding that my regular shake-n-bake wouldn't load. For about $10 more, you can decrease your chances of balls failing to load into the neck, and spend less time shaking.
