ir3 hopper

[dyeir3]

ok guys i want your opinion on the best hopper for the ir3 front players i really want your feed back more than anyones?also how fast do you shoot with your hopper of choice?

[MoogLe]

i use an intellifed revy, and i can do 13 bps tops with it

[paintball2k3wdp]

yea, i use a 12v w/ xboard and 8 prong impeller and its pretty fast. i am too a front player and it keeps up with my snapshooting. i get about 13bps. as well.. i cant afford to shoot more than that lol!

Revies are still a favorite with many front players. I play back mostly, but I have a knack for finding the smallest and most inconvenient bunker to pack myself into. Being able to shoot the gun at just about any angle makes it easier for me to stay tight.

i'm guessing a halo?

Hmmm, I though I wrote that in there. Yep, you get the cookie! I use a halo

I am going to get a freak kit for my dark ir3 and i was wondering what the main differences are between the alum. back and the stainless back. also, what are the differences between the freak front and the all-american front and which would you reccommend? and when it says "freak front 14'' " that means that the barrel's total length is 14, right? and also do i have to specify that its a dark ir3 or does any angel barrel fit every angel?

[acoenfam1]

The major difference between the two backs is weight. As for which one to chose it's up to you. As for the fronts again which style do YOU think looks good. Yes the 14" refers to the length of the assembled barrel.

Now the only time I ran into having to specify that I was going to use the barrel on an IR3 was when I ordered my Ultralights. For some reason the first one they sent me when I specified Angel wouldn't thread into my Dark IR3. It's best to ask when you order or when you do just be sure and mention it will be used in an IR3.

i hear that the stainless lasts longer and it better (more acc). also how does the freak kit compare with other interchangable bore barrels??

[acoenfam1]

Personally, I don't like the interchangeable insert idea. I'd rather have seperate interchangeable breach sections.

[warpedx]

SS will last longer, just for the fact that it is stronger than aluminum. The barrel problem only ran with a few barrels from DYE, all current barrels will be fine on any angel.
I personally didn't like the freak, too many pieces for me. I haven't used any other insert systems, so I can't give you a comparison. I do use a two piece CP set that shoots great for me.

how did this go from a hooper thread to a smart parts thingy? dont get the freak dam smart parts get like a empire or a phat system.... n e ways bak on topic plzz

[paintball2k3wdp]

[dyeir3]

no prob

I'm a front player and I'm satisfied with the HALO B. Has worked very well for me. Then again, I started playing only about 3 months ago, so I wouldn't have the experience to name the "best" loader.

[bacon bitz]

i play front and i use a halo, halo + low rise = nice tight set-up, and i also dont like the freak too much and have to agree withwarpedx on the cp kit

[Kris1187]

i had a revvy on intelli for my ir3 didnt like it i would out shoot it and then messy, so i got a clear y board egg works great no problems.

[paintball2k3wdp]

halo, egg II, 12v are best. just depends how fast you shoot.

[dyeir3]

18bps
