I look for a hopper straight off of looks and uniqueness, my Vlocity fits both :)

It'd be neat to see hoppers to get longer, but shorter. I'd like to see some new designs where the paint is stored more towards the front of the marker, it would help to balance the gun out. The weight of the marker, is in the back because of the air tank, it would be much nicer if the weight could be more towards the center of the gun.

my 2 cents.

If you're anchoring the gun into your shoulder properly, the tank butt becomes the pivot point. Any weight farther forwards increases the perceived weight. The closer the weight is to that pivot point on your shoulder, the less torque it exerts downwards compared to the torque of your arms holding the setup. This is why the majority of the capacity of loaders available is behind the feedneck, rather than in front of it. Every little bit further back helps.

i would personally like to see a heads up display that can be attached to your mask lens that shows ball count and an inline hopper sounds sick

The mechanics of loaders are pretty much at the peak, I'd like to see some innovation on the position of the hopper on the setup; something below/inline/etc, to essentially get that giant blimp off the top of the gun.

Warp Feed.

Without making the setup even more cumbersome.

Or a Q-Loader...

Or picky on paint, finicky, time consuming to load, low capacity.


All this, i actually have high hopes that Dye will make some sort of box mag for the Dye DAM.

This would be sick, but more than we could all afford probably lol so maybe a screen on the back displaying an approx "balls left" number to optimize reload times and it would just need a weight sensor of some sort to know when the next pod was dumped in to reset the counter... Hmmmm

The main thing companies should focus now is on battery efficentcy. That is honestly the main thing they can really improve on


considering i was getting just under a year on a single set of batteries with my rotor, i think its pretty much coverd, though i cant speak for any other loader system,

i just wanted to feel like master chief lol but your idea is a good one my thoughts were so you wouldnt even need to look down so you can continue told hold a lane and keep your vision focused 100% on that spot without that quick glance because thats all it takes for someone to bump up to the next bunker. The technology already exists to sink loaders with the markers via blue tooth now all i need is gordon aka cockerpunk to wire up a small lcd screen with a receiver fairly cost effective and he could make millions

lol thats why the old ricochet apaches and ak's had the clear windows in the sides ... they were right in your face anyway so just a quick glance and you know approx what you had left.... just put a line across with a sharpie and your golden lol, honestly if there was a way to incorporate this tech into a side mount similar to a warp without the added bulk or having to cut up a halo somebody would be onto something
