Pump Talk From Old School to New School, this is all about Pumps.

I heard a rumor about Pinokio making a hopper for pumps

This is a discussion on I heard a rumor about Pinokio making a hopper for pumps within the Pump Talk section, part of the Other Markers and Equipment category; Yeah. They probably order the body from the same manufacturer. Then put their name on it....

IMO, A standard gravity feed hopper is all ya need on a pump. I run just a basic 200 or 50. I Really want to get a whaler hopper though!!

Blowback? It's a pump. I'll admit I'm not an expert on pumps, but I've never heard of one that wasn't closed-bolt through the entire firing phase.

Fastas look a lot like that too. I guess there's only so many effective shapes for hoppers.


I really don't see a need for this. Adding a force-fed loader onto a pump is like throwing an intercooler and turbocharger onto a mo-ped. Sure you can do it, but will it actually improve performance? The electronics in the loader would also make it larger, providing a bigger target profile.
