: : 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. : What kind of Lapco? My buddy owns (and has just retired) a Grey Ghost, one of the last models before they stopped production. : I actually found one of the old boxy ones the other day as well. (It was so old that it had "Paint Ball" (two words) written on the side.)) I figured it might come in handy on the field, especially with a slower gun and more deliberate style of play. : : 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. : Point taken. I actually know what you mean about firing over the top, because that's what I can pull off firing around the left of bunkers. I'm a southpaw, and since most of the guns I've used up until now had right-hand feeders, I could get away with just the barrel showing, which doesn't make much of a target when it's pointing right at you (though one of my autococker buddies did get a ball shot straight into his barrel last game - that was something.) : : 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 guess I'd need a regulator to make sure my tank doesn't freeze too, right? With a little modification of grip, you might be able to pull it off with a Phantom pretty well, especially if you were firing from a lower position (not hip-level, but halfway between hip and shoulder. That looks like it would give you better stability with the pumping.) : : 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 :) : I'd like to get to that level, if for no other reason than to catch opponents off-guard. : ) : (By the way, what's a revvy? Is that one of the battery-powered feeders you see on autocockers?) : I'll have to check out pumpplayers.com once I get my piece! : (By the way, Mike C. sent me a pic of the paint job on my Phantom-in-progress. We decided to experiment with the colors, and so instead of any of the colors shown on the site, I will be the proud owner of an ACID GREY Phantom. If you'd like to see a pic, drop me a line at my e-mail (yami@digisurf.net) and I'll send it to you, since I don't know if I can get it on this forum as an attachment. It's about the slickest-looking piece I've ever seen! ('Course, I could just be biased because it's my first gun, but hey...) : Pat
