: Is playing with a gravity-feed pump a serious liability, then? I notice that both of you guys have stock class pumps. Is it just an issue of the feeder getting in the way, or does it significantly affect the weight, too? Depends on who you talk to. I never shoot 200rds in a game, so a 200 round hopper's a waste of weight and target area. I have an old WGP 45 round hopper that I use with my Lapco that will usually get me through a game, and pretty much always use the SC feed on my Phantom. Pick up a hundred round bag of paint in your hand. If you don't shoot more than 100rds in a game and carry a 200rd hopper, that's the extra weight you're carrying. Now think of all the times you've seen somebody shot in the hopper. Imagine never having to worry about hopper shots again. That's the advantage of SC or an extra small hopper. With the SC feed, you can even get away with shooting out the top of the bunker sometimes. On the other hand, if you are one of the people who can shoot extremely fast with a pump, having a revvy is good. It's kind of hard to shoot *really* fast with most Nelson based pumps, but Snipers and Sterlings are definitely capable of outshooting blowback semis (accurately even) in the right hands. I've seen it, one of our guys at Skyball shot a Sterling and went on the field with a revvy, 68ci nitro tank and a 4 pod pack. Not your typical pump player, but DAMN. If you can shoot that fast, hop on over to www.pumpplayers.com around Skyball time, we can always use good back players :)
