Editing Pinokio Hoppers (section)

=== Original Pinokio loader ===

The original electronic Pinokio used interchangeable front sections, described in contemporary promotional material as Stage 1 and Stage 2. The standard configuration was advertised as holding approximately 250 paintballs, while the extended nose increased capacity to approximately 400. A sliding attachment and spring-loaded latch allowed the front section to be changed without tools.[9]

The loader used a motor-driven paddle system and a flexible sensor in the feed path. It was powered by two 9-volt batteries and operated through a single on/off button at the rear. Its battery compartment could also be opened without tools.[9]

The larger configuration was marketed particularly towards [[Scenario paintball|scenario]] and woodsball players, while the shorter front allowed the same main loader body to be used with a reduced profile.[9][5]

=== A-5/X7 hopper range ===

In March 2010, Pinokio announced a hopper range for [[Tippmann A-5]] and [[Tippmann X7]] markers using the [[Cyclone Feed System]]. These hoppers applied the interchangeable-nose concept to the markers' existing feed system, with advertised capacities of 250 and up to 400 paintballs. The announcement anticipated retail availability in May 2010.[1]

=== Pinokio Speed ===

The Speed used a smaller body than the original Pinokio and omitted its long capacity extension. The later HK Army version retained a removable front section and a battery compartment that could be accessed without tools.[7][10]

HK Army's product specification lists a nylon shell, two 9-volt batteries, a single power button and an upgraded P board.[10]
