i cant say for sure but what i think is the best description is that in a cup gun the air going into the cup fluidizes the powder and propels it out to the barrel. on a hopper the air in the bottom will fluidize the powder but will not propel it to the gun. the pump is air in and out and draws the fluidized powder from the hopper and then sends it to the gun. simple terms its like the siphon effect that a sand blast cabinet uses for the sand.
