Ricochet Apache

This hopper rocks. It's simple operation rocks. It only uses two 9 volt batteries and they last a long time. I have used this hopper for a few months now and just changed the batteries..

i like how the batteries are held in a battery compartment and easy to remove.

Whats your thoughts?

i just got my apache last night, and it is awsome. it is so light!! the batteries are way easy to put in, and it is pretty cool how they designed it. this hopper empties itself in like 10 seconds. this is, in my opinion, the greatest loader on the market, unless you need to shoot more than 20 bps-which i don't-it is sweet looking, fast, and light. an overall great loader that you can get for as low as 80 bucks...well worth it.

I've played with the AK, but not an apache. are they force fed? or no?

apache's are alright the shells still suck and they arent real fast at the begining of a stream takes a couple balls to start feeding fast i dont like where the lid is other tahn that its pretty good

its a good thing i use the special fast one

what is wrong with the shells? i like the top feed, it is easier to put a pod into without spilling. to wileyc143's response, they are to an extent, they use gravity to get to the paddels and then they pushe them down the feed tube. not as bad as halo's though, i haven't had any problem with it pushing balls past my ball detent

the loading on top is a personal preference but when a hopper gets shot and it breaks i tend to question the strength of the shell...especially if youa re playing at addicts and the field speed is 250

your shell broke??? what did it just split in half?
