Pinokio A5/X7 Hopper On the Way!

Representatives at Pinokio Hoppers have informed us that their long-awaited drop-in replacement hopper for Cyclone Feed and Rip Clip-equipped markers like the Tippmann A5, X7 and Phenom or upgraded BT models has finally been approved for production and is on the way! Soon Tippmann and BT users with Cyclone and Rip Clip feed systems will be able to enjoy the benefits of swapping from a sleek, short-nosed hopper to an equally sleek, long-nosed hopper holding 400 rounds!

"It was our intention to have this hopper out in May," stated Pinokio Sales Manager Jennifer Chapman, "but the final prototypes we got in just weren't perfect. Most users wouldn't have any problems if we'd gone ahead with production, but in some Cyclone feeds we tried, the prototypes wobbled and wouldn't lock in just right. We felt it was more important to make a hopper that was 100 percent perfect and be sure all our valued customers got a product they'd be happy with." Chapman told us that all pre-orders would be fulfilled before general retail sales began, and that enough hoppers to cover all pre-sales were already on their way from the factory!
