New Empire Hopper - The Magna Drive
First off let me apologize. I haven’t been posting nearly as often as I should, due to several things like soccer, school work, and just general life. That said I’m still going to make my quota of five posts this week if it kills me, so here goes.
Empire has a new hopper coming out and the buzz it hot and heavy surrounding this one.

I’ve only managed to scrounge up a few rumors, and even fewer facts. It seems to be a common opinion that this will indeed utilize magnets for its drive system, and that it is gonna be fast. I’ve yet to see any solid proof, but the system called Magna Drive and the fact that Empire wouldn’t release a slow hopper (less than, say… 20 BPS, minimum) leads me in a similar direction.
It will have RF Chip tech, as well as similar to Halo B internals, unless I’m incredibly far off the mark. To me it doesn’t look that awkwardly designed, but I’ve been using an Egg for the past year, which may have some bearing on my opinion.
Here’s a video of the Magna on gun. As more info becomes available, I’ll be sure to shell it out.

I’ve been looking to upgrade my hopper, but I might wait for this to come out before buying anything.
