Like any other sport, paintball is no different in that there are positions players can play on a paintball field, more specifically a speedball field. In soccer you can find mid, defender and forward positions, each player with their own unique purpose, each acting as a link in the chain. Without one, the entire unit would fail, and in paintball we can find the same connection, after all it is a team sport.

So you step on the paintball speedball field for the first time and a more experienced looking player asks where you plan on going. An experienced player would reply first with the position he plans on filling in and secondly the location in that area. The same way you have a sideline defender or a center forward in the sport of soccer, is basically the same thing you will find in paintball.

The three positions in paintball consist of Front, Mid, and Backplayers. As in just about every team sport that has positions on the playing field, each position needs to be filled by a player that has the appropriate skill set. Front players need to be agile, snappy, and quick. You generally do not want your biggest player to play as a Front player, but it has been done, especially if for some reason they are exceptionally well at staying tight with a bunker.

While each position has its own skill set, only one I believe stands out as the biggest position on the paintball field. This position needs to be filled by a player that has an incredible ability to read the game, and needs to be your teams best player. While every position on the playing field is an important link in the chain, this position in particular is an especially large link, one that no team can manage to play without.

Normal paintball hoppers can be big targets when playing. When you are shooting at an opponent, your paintball hopper will often stick out and give something else for your opponent to hit. Even when you get hit on your paintball hopper, you are out of the game.

To avoid less hopper shots you can make your target smaller by using low profile hopper systems. There are a couple of options out there that will give you a very low profile and decrease your target size when you are hanging out and shooting.

The Q-loader is a hopper system that can mount under your paintball barrel or above your gun. It is spring powered, so no batteries are needed. You don’t need to worry about your gun shooting faster than the Q-loader can load either. The Q-loader can feed at a rate of 30 bps. Plenty fast enough for any paintball gun. The Q-loader uses spring loaded pods that can hold 100 paintballs. When the pod is empty you remove it and clip on another pre-loaded Q-loader pod.

The Warp Feed system made by Airgun Designs will take your current hopper and move it to the side of your gun. This prevents the hopper from sticking out when you are leaning out to shoot. The Warp Feed is battery operated and will push paintballs fed from a motorized hopper through a tube directly into your paintball gun.

Having a low profile is important when playing paintball. A low profile will help keep you from getting shot easily. Low profile hopper systems like the Q-loader will replace your bulky loader with a smaller spring loaded Q-loader pod that you can fit under your barrel. The Warp Feed system will take your bulky motorized hopper and place it on the side of the gun where it will be less likely to get hit.

If you are looking for a good low profile hopper system that will give you an edge over the competition by making your profile smaller, either the Q-loader or Warp Feed are good systems to consider.
