GenX GXG 50 Round Hopper - This compact loader holds 50 Paintballs and is compact enough to fit in your backpack.
Hoppers contain the paintball supply for a marker, much as magazines contain the ammunition on a regular rifle. With few exceptions, hoppers are all mounted above the marker, and most use gravity as the ultimate force to get the balls in the marker. That is to say, if most hoppers are turned upside down, the marker will not be fed with balls and will cease to fire.
There are three main types: Gravity Feed, Agitated Feed, and Force Feed loaders.
Gravity Feed hoppers often get jammed up with balls at the feed neck, which can result in a marker dry firing (firing without paint) or chopping balls due to the timing of the ball entering the marker. This is detrimental to the speed and performance of the marker.

Conclusion GenX GXG 50 Round Hopper:
Agitated Feed hoppers enhance Gravity feeding, using agitation to guide balls down the feed neck. Some employ paddle wheels for this purpose. Gravity is still essential for the balls to reach the loading mechanism. The 'Revo' with 'Z-Board' utilizes an electric motor for fast loading (March 2013).
Force Feed loaders create a paintball stack for the marker. Constant tension ensures immediate replacement after firing. Some use a special feed tube for a lower profile. All hopper-based loaders rely on gravity. The 'Warp' loader uses an electric motor to rotate discs with ball divots, feeding paintballs into the chamber.
