This all depends on the feedneck on the gun. That is, the circular part on top of the gun that connects the hopper to the marker. If it is clamping feedneck, simply release the clamp, push it down all the way and close the clamp appropriately. Others you may have to unscrew with an Alan key, and on the lower guns, just push it on their to the best of your ability. Though clamping feedneck is by far the best to have on a gun, due to the fact that it decreases the possibility of the hopper coming off.

Cheap ones just have a small spinning aggrogator, which is basically just some spinning sticks to prevent paintballs from sticking, Where high end ones have a spinning feeder that forces paintballs down the neck of the gun, similar in operation to a roulette.

A paintball hopper provides the paintballs for the paintball gun. It enables the user to shoot paintballs on his or her opponents and mark them with paint.

The paintball hopper for a paintball gun keeps the loaded paintballs ready for shooting. It also allowed one to reload their ammunition into the hopper so that one may start shooting again.
