Archon Tacamo Gravity Feed Paintball Hopper

Paintball players and field owners alike will want to check out Archon's new gravity fed paintball hopper.

This truly is an innovative hopper design. Sometimes in life we forget how important the simple things are, and it seems in paintball we've been so caught up with electronic hoppers that we forgot about old fashioned gravity hoppers. I'm a fan of the simple things, the fewer the parts the fewer problems IMHO. Its good to see someone finally take a step back and try to re-invent the common 200 round gravity hopper. Its when we jump too far ahead that we overlook simple innovations like this.

Feeding at 11.6 balls per second the Tacamo paintball hopper is a promising cheap alternative to an electric hopper. If you are shooting a Tippmann or any other mechanical paintball gun you might want to forget about buying batteries and throw down some money for one of these babies. Even so, this hopper would make a great backup, especially when you have one of those "nothing-I-have-that-is-electronic-will-work" moments. Who ever thought a gravity feed hopper could ever feed so fast? Considering that my 9vlt revy feeds at 8-9 bps, 11.6 bps with just gravity is impressive.

Here are a couple of benefits of owning a Archon Gravity Feed paintball hopper:

• Perfect for mechanical paintball guns, spyders, tippmanns, and even pumps
• Great backup hopper for disastrous occasions, both weather and technical
• Field owner?  These are perfect hoppers for your rental guns, minimize chopping
• Extremely light
• No noise from electronics
• No batteries
• Feeds faster than some electronic hoppers

At a price of around $10 you can't complain.  11.6 bps is very impressive for a paintball hopper that relies on just gravity.  If you are a field owner, combining these with a rental suite of tippmanns equipped with A.C.T would be ideal. I know I'll be getting them when I run a field... if I ever get around to it again.
