Put A Hopper On A Project Salvo Paintball Gun

Specialty paintball guns, like the project salvo, are often used by militaries for training exercises.


Installing a hopper on the Tippmann Project Salvo paintball gun is simple. The Project Salvo is a specialty paintball gun manufactured by Tippmann and branded for the U.S. Army. The gun is based off of the Tippmann 98 and has been changed to accommodate military simulation, or mil-sim, type games. The paintball gun can make use of a standard hopper for holding paint or one compatible with a cyclone-type feeding system if the cyclone is installed. It is normally not necessary to install a cyclone feeding system unless you have installed an electronic trigger, or E-trigger, on the paintball gun.


Instructions


1. Place the barrel-blocking device over the barrel and press the safety knob near the trigger on the left side of the gun.


2. Remove any paintballs or paint still in the feed elbow of the gun. This will keep the feeding operation working smoothly.


3. Insert the hopper into the feed elbow and tighten down the screw with the Allen wrench. Take care not to over-tighten the screw and break the plastic.
