Steve, Never thought of that, but I had envisioned the funnel concept. Just never considered a stretch fabric like that. It is a great idea. I think I would use a grommet for the hole in the fabric though if I were to use the idea. A pair of laddies nylons would work for this too. I tried to construct a hopper directly above the gun, but using a metal tray. It fit, but didn't feed well so it was abandoned. I bought that GT2000 marker from Joe S. a long time ago. Now I need to find a rebuild kit for it since it's been so long since it's been shot. I have another one mounted in the Sturmtiger.
Chris, The PVC will be replaced by copper as I said in the other Email. I have oriented the copper pieces in such a way that the joints are always stepping down from the tubing to the bends or connectors. As it shows, it will hold 24 rounds. It is only a mock-up to test functionality. I need to add additional capacity to get to 40 rounds with either a tray or more tubing. Using the current config because of the angles to the gun. The gun is angled up higher on the left side. The balls feed from the left. Putting the 180 loop in there allowed a downward feed to the 180 and a downward feed to the gun regardless of the current elevation or depression of the gun. The tubing going across the gun is always higher than the tubing that is connected to the chamber.
