    Cuba, Paxson, Lasoya, and now foolybear?? That’s right, in an election season spirit of bi-partisanship, Pinokio hoppers reaches across the aisle to sponsor scenario paintball’s own Jason ‘foolybear’ Lineberger.? Lineberger, the well-known woodsball enthusiast and paintball journalist, will be putting the high-performance and high-capacity loaders from Pinokio to the test. “The reliability, durability, and efficiency of the Pinokio makes it the perfect loader for the long haul, and that’s what I need for scenario ‘ball,” Lineberger says. “Plus, with the nose attached, it transforms into the ultimate hopper for a game-ending final battle.” Get more information or order a loader at www.pinokiohoppers.com.
