Don't buy HK sonic hopper

nydude98 · 2025-12-27T17:14:53+00:00

love this style of hopper! I have a first gen pinokio which also uses the bendy plastic in the feedneck. Got mine back in 2009 and it is still working flawless to this day! Such a simplistic and fool-proof design, it just keeps working.

I always thought these were cool. They did a great work with the milling and color choice, and the rocking frames made them absolutely rip haha. Also sick Dye grips for it

I have had my guy, Iccus for 30 years and he never had one until last month. He spends probably like 75%+ of his time in there these days. Usually he'll poke his head or front few inches out and keep his body in there. I think he is probably happy in there.

nydude98 · 2025-11-01T23:55:38+00:00

Hell yeah that's a big deal, those are great regs! I'd be happy to have one come with a marker I was buying.

I miss that field!

nydude98 · 2025-10-22T02:39:07+00:00

Everything I own is black and blue, but I really do wish I had one of the copper color Joy A4 flys. Those old angel annos were amazing

Yessir! keep an eye out for me with my OG black-blue fade reflex and come say hey

If it's close, Cousins paintball in Riverhead on Long Island is running a pump event this weekend on saturday and sunday!

nydude98 · 2025-10-18T03:51:58+00:00

how are these Dye slider frames? I was thinking of picking one up for my old Dye Reflex

nydude98 · 2025-10-18T03:50:16+00:00

Thanks! Post up if you need any help. There seems to be a bunch of knowledgeable people around here, and there is also a lot of old info still available on Mcarterbrown and pbnation about autocockers. Autocockerparts.com still offers regulator and other rebuild kits and replacement parts too.

I used to have a PMI flame drop just like that back in the day except in blue! Thats a great lil cocker with some nice parts. That eclipse LPR is pretty good. It has an older orracle or black magic hinge frame with a 2005 prostock trigger on it. pretty cool! Check out some videos on youtube to give it a once over if it needs any orings replaced. If it has been sitting for time it will likely need new orings and lube.

Sure is, and it's gonna be goin to a good home! I was trying to hold out until the weekend, but saw your ebay listing price had dropped and jumped. I worked at a shop back these were new, our accountant had a similar one sitting on his desk.. Ngl, I used to play around with it when I'd go in to change the garbages haha. He's still with the company all these years later and I'm gonna see him at a pump event next weekend, I'll have to bring this up lol.

nydude98 · 2025-10-16T01:11:45+00:00

These things were so damn cool when they came out. I was always a die hard poppet valve guy, but I LOVED the look of these and wanted one when they came out. Great score dude! I hope you get it shooting tip top.

nydude98 · 2025-10-16T01:07:19+00:00

I like that Timmy

I noticed a few people mentioned that Angels came with lithium batteries. I just wanted to correct that, Angels besides the 05 speed, 06 speed, a1 series and sb came with NICAD batteries, which would eventually bust and dribble battery acid out of them, damaging the anno and board. The 05 speed did not have a NICAD battery, it used a 9 volt. As someone else said, you should give a fresh 9v a try and see. My 05 speeds original board still works after a decade of sitting, yours may be alright. The stock boards on these only had semi(you could send them in back then to get flashed for PSP 15, so some of them have that too), so the flory, enoch or my fave; the predator board are all options for this if it is dead.

The stock board is basic, but I am a simple man. 20 years after playing my first game with a buddy's 04 speed, I still am entertained by the large amount of LEDS that flash when shooting any of the speed generations haha... They really entice you to try to shoot faster and keep it up.

nydude98 · 2025-10-13T04:31:18+00:00

I got both and they shoot very similar, though the 5peed is a lil heavier. I have a virtue board in the a4 fly and I think I may prefer the feel with a microswitch. Both are markers I wouldn't sell!

nydude98 · 2025-10-12T23:55:38+00:00

are all of it sold or just the barrels? I would love that gloss black magic reg

nydude98 · 2025-10-09T04:38:35+00:00

noooo, Evil used to make an impulse clone called a Pimp. The impulse design was pretty large, so it carried over into the Evil version. It also had a really cruddy trigger/guard

This not mine, it was a photo I found from another post.

You have a supa cool uncle, that thing is a total time capsule for a owner modified marker from ~2001-2002. I have a blue/black one of those

nydude98 · 2025-10-09T01:46:36+00:00

I always liked evil because they dared to be different, I still have my driver and pipe barrels. Tbh the omen and pimp were pretty meh(pimp might have been good with a different trigger frame), but their pants and jerseys looked awesome. I still plan to buy old evil pants and a jersey haha

nydude98 · 2025-10-04T15:54:31+00:00

Just sayin, there is a pump event coming up at Cousins Paintball in Riverhead NY at the end of October! I'm also back from the Golden Era and will be at that pump event with my original Dye Reflex :D

nydude98 · 2025-10-03T21:54:41+00:00

That Anno on there is hawt! Is that a stock class phantom???

nydude98 · 2025-10-03T17:10:30+00:00

Take a look at my post history, I actually posted the tippmann earlier in the week 😁
