A hopper device includes a reservoir sized and shaped for defining a
cavity therein and has first and second openings in fluid communication
with the cavity. The first opening is disposed at a first end portion of
the reservoir and the second opening is disposed subjacent to the first
opening. An articulatable valve is connected to the first opening and is
manually adaptable between open and closed positions for allowing and
restricting flow of the paintball mobiles. A spout having opposed end
portions is attached to the second opening and terminates away therefrom
for assisting to dispense the paintball mobiles outwardly from the
reservoir. The present invention further includes a mechanism for heating
the reservoir and effectively maintaining an internal temperature of the
cavity within the temperature range such that the paintball mobiles can
be maintained at a liquefied state.
