The hopper is what holds all the paintballs
that are shot. It can hold anywhere from 150-300 rounds depending
on the player's preference. Some hoppers are motorized so that the
ball firing rate is increased from the normal rate of 2-4 balls per second.
A motorized hopper also keeps balls from breaking. This is because
if a marker shoots faster than balls can drop all the way down into the
gun, the ball will be chopped. A chopped or broken ball is bad because
paint gets in the barrel and sometimes in the marker which can mess up
the accuracy of a marker or prevent it from firing.
