No, not periodicals.

What I'm interested in learning, is the reasons behind a hopper. why a hopper? why dont people use clips? I could see soemone useing a hight RoF gun, with a powerful spring to give it 20 bps and the reasons against that (heck make 'em with weaker springs, you can do that too, at 10 bps) but I'm talking use in snipers, and pistols, markers where compactness, and accuracy are paramount, in a sidearm, a heavy metal 10 round tube, is much heavier than a thin plastic clip. and a sniper, where you only need 15-20 rounds, and can swap quick, without a hopper givin' you away. I think that clips make sense, and I hope someone can give me a reason for why hoppers have prevailed.
