What hoppers are you using with your Cyborg?

When I got my Borg, I picked up an Empire Magna and an RF for it.  What are you guys using?

Because we play the SPPL and have to use a 15bps or slower loader for it, we've picked up some 9V Spyder Fastas which have worked pretty well. For something faster, Krazy8 and Timbertiger have been using Pulse loaders.

i've been using a spyder fasta 9v and i works out great.  then again i'm not a 30bps kinda guy.  15bps seems to be enough to keep heads down, or get me out of trouble.  how does the magna work out for you?

Well, I haven't had the opportunity to actually use it during a game.  The last time I went to paly, I couldn't figure out how to get the velocity done.  After getting the velcoity squared away, I managed to get a couple of really good bursts going earlier today.  Loved the way everything worked.  The hopper kept up no problems.  The Magna is leaps and bounds better than the Halo B's!!!

I agree with that dude. The Halo always used to jam on my borg unless I pulled it up about 4mm in the feedneck. The Magna is amazing with the RF, as fast as you want it to be, only didnt like the fact it has jammed on me a couple of times.Hopefully the freeway anti jam will cure that when its out.
 
borg on full auto with a magna rf'd...... AWESOME (but bloody costly in paint)

I loved my Pulse's feed, but not it's shape, feed mode, and weight. I love my HaloB, it's almost perfect, but it needs the Freeway antijam to make it stop jamming on me. My VLocity JR with Gangstar is perfect in almost everything, except battery life. My Zeggy's sweet except it's pathetic shells, inconsistent/slow feed rates, and design. It's all up to you, but each loader does have a downside to it. I haven't owned a Magna yet, but looking at it I can tell you the only issue with it that you might have is the design. I just personally hate having my hopper that far back.

So when I used my Borg with Magna on May 25th, i did have a problem with paint breaking in the hopper.  I was fine using Menace, to breaks at all but when I switched to Marbs, I had paint in the hopper, a lot of it.  I ended up changing the configuration of the magnets to one that came in the manual that a lot of tourney players use.  hopefully this will lower the amount of tension of the balkls creating fewer breaks.

That's one reason I like the Fastas. I'm not gonna set any bps records but, I'm lazy. Attach Fasta, fill with paint, turn on, shoot.

2 games with the Magna RF'd..  The only complaint I have is paint swelling from the eat and humidity.  I could not ask for a better hopper/marker combo.....Almost scary!!!!!!!!
