PRESS RELEASE: Allen Paintball Products, Inc. of Ohio has released its new TAC-50-HPR. Designed for the stock class player the TAC-50-HPR is a unique 50 round paintball hopper that looks like a scope yet holds 50 rounds. It feeds exceptionally well for a gravity hopper. The TAC-50-HPR is also easy to customize with a speed feed, Lucky bounce lid, or snub nose adapter. The feed neck features an o-ring to guarantee a snug fit in your marker. There is also a post on the top of the hopper which holds a spare neck o-ring. The TAC-50-HPR is available nationwide at your local paintball pro shop or authorized Allen Paintball Product reseller.

Appear that this 50 round hopper will be far superior. ;)

They aren't actually on sale yet, I guess the release of the catalogue jumped the gun a little.

Thanks to TF for the work he did modifying the old hoppers to run better and to let me use that work to better this one, as well as testing out the prototype shells and final parts. Although if he calls me a wanker again I'm never sending him anything else. :censored:

The inside of the body shell is different to work much better with 68 cal paint. It will still come with an insert for other calibers.

We aren't putting the name on the side anymore either, and the lid logo has changed to the more modern ER one. :rolleyes:


As soon as they are on sale and I know a price I'll let everyone know.

p.s. I'm bringing back smoke 10 round tubes and quick lids too. :drool: not ETA yet though. :D

The Tac-50 hopper looks like it would not feed well. I think it would jam up like the gravity feed ricochet hoppers do.

as for comparing it to other 50 round loaders - they don't look like a scope... which is the #1 point :D
