Tacamo Arc Dual Feed Hopper

We recently received a shipment of the Tacamo Arc Dual Feed Hoppers. Normal 200rd gravity-fed hoppers are nothing more then a plastic bin that allows the paintballs to drop into the gun's receiver. Although standard 200rd hoppers are economical for the entry or budget minded player, they can be a little frustrating due to jamming. Balls naturally collect at the feed neck blocking each other. This leads to a good deal of misfires. Typically the player will have to shake the gun to stir the balls in the hopper to re-establish a feed.

The Tacamo Arc Hopper is designed with a dividing piece molding into the hopper just above the feed neck. This allows two bottom channels to form from the front and the back. This is done to allow the balls to channel into the feedneck in a linear fashion instead of jamming all together at the top. Upon testing, we found considerably less jamming than a typical hopper. The Tacamo Dual Arc's shape is such that it allows more than 200rd rounds into the loader. The curved, inset bottom of the hopper is great for those needing extra receiver clearance for optics or even a cleaner view down the centerline of the paintball gun.

The Tacamo Arc Dual feed hopper retails for $9.95. Its a nice alternative to the traditional gravity-fed 200rd hopper. You can find all the latest Tacamo paintball products at ROCKSTAR Tactical, even the newly released Tacamo 416 Barrel Kit for the 98 custom.
