Now people can't use clear hoppers in tournaments or games because the refs cant tell if a paintball hit it or not from a distance. My friend just bought a clear Halo or something and can't use it now. Funny

thats actually a very good rule, i had some experience reffing for alittle while (broke my cheekbone and couldnt play so i just reffed at the field we practice at) and it actually is hard because there were a few circumstances where you couldnt tell...it was only rec though so we didnt call anyone out for it....in certain tournaments they allow you to use clear hoppers but warn you if a ball breaks on the inside that you will probably be called out for it

Can you dye hoppers and use them even though they are still slightly transluscent? How about smoke? Because instead of getting a new one ask if he can just dye it, besides in my opinion hoppers look really nice if you dye them correctly.

You could try buying a cover for your hopper, or you could spray it.

Yes, smoke or dyed shells are fine. It's easy to tell if the break is on the inside or outside.

but if you get a smoke shell or something then you can see when you're running out of paint instead of noticing when you stop shooting balls and letting everyone on the other team hear it too!
