Hopper Type setting

[tgallo]

What exactly does the Hopper Type setting do? I realize it adjusts the Angel Eyes settings...but how exactly. I'd think if the eyes see a ball the gun can fire....regardless of your hopper type. So what exactly is happening?

This is my interpretation of the Hopper Type setting. It is a setting that adjusts how long (probably in milliseconds) the Angel Eyes must see paint in the breach before it actually registers as having a paintball ready to fire. Why? Because loaders load and stack the paintballs at different rates. If there are gaps in the stack, paintballs can possibly drop down in the breach, but bounce back up the feedneck, if there were a large enough gap between it and the following paintball. This bounce would still cross the eyes, however the paint hasn't truly settled in a stable position to be fired. Breach bounces could cause chops. A faster loader would reduce these gaps, create a tighter stack, and eliminate chops.
