Will Montgomery used a commercially available loader (I think it was a
Q-Loader) to push the paintballs up from below the marker. A gravity
fed magazine sat above the loader mechanism. He had enough height for a
cut-down magazine from a paintball gun, but a simple tray would have
worked as well. You can see the mechanism here:

As I am sure you all know the M1A1 has restricted turret space, I have
compensated a little while still trying to keep to 1/6 scale,
increasing the turret side panels by a extra 2" in height which then
has the effect of reducing the width of the top panel whilst staying
with the correct angle - not the best solution in the world but needs
must.
The question is this - has any one managed to perfect a feeder system
that doesn't rely on gravity feed, rather a system that uses a push
feed using air or some other mechanical means whereas the 'hopper' or
'feeder' can be situated in almost any part of the turret.
Many thanks
