Looking to see how many people actually have a spire, would never by any other hopper than a rotor till they put it through a durability test like they did the rotor

Just know if a crazy man comes onto the field with a shotgun, your spire will survive but you wont!!!

U notice how he doesn't do a drop test, they dropped the rotor of a 3 story building and all that happened wat the lid broke and that 12 gauge doesn't do much at all from that range

Ok, you go in front of a shotgun :p (I jest, don't worry)

Seriously though, in my opinion, what's the real point of all these tests? Cooking bacon on a Spire. Throwing a Rotor off a building. Unless either of those things are likely to happen, (well.... bacon. That's tempting), as long as it feeds paint, it should stand up to a lot of things.

Hell, I've even mixed drinks in my Pinokio before.

I like the rotor cause u don't have to change batteries for like 3 years, it's super thick shell yet still light and is able to keep up with a dm13

OK, I by no means disagree with you, but to put you straight on a few points:

- You may not have to change the batteries for 3 years, but battery usage is based off of the intensity of use. If you play perhaps once or twice a year, you'll be fine. If you play every other week, it's a different story. (alternatively, if you're me, you'll leave it on for a week without noticing)
- "Super thick shell, yet still light." Yeah, but it's by no means the lightest out there. The Prophency (Z2 at least), Pinokio and Spire are all lighter.
- Yes, it is able to keep up. But, likelihood is that you won't be shooting at the Rotor's maximium advertised 50bps. The most I've ever shot at is around a 17/18 on semi auto, and that's only 'cause the guy wouldn't go out.

I use my rotor every weekend man, and the speed is always good to have I just like a hopper than can keep up with any gun I use and will work if I'm diving on the ground into bunkers, I've had friends that had a spire and it cracked from them diving into a bunker, though he did hit a rock hahaha it still cracked
