The Q-Loader is finally out! Check out www.qloader.com Its not $250 like eneryone was saying. You can get a starter system for $79.95 and a tournament system for $139.95. Well i guess I no where part of my $1100 is going.

those videos look impressive 2 things concern me about the q loader. It's uncovntional mounting make me question how secure it is , furthermore if it is spring powered how do they insure constant feed rate throughout the pod and althought they say if will not push paintpas the detents Odysee claimed the halo wouldn't either. I have the 130.00 as soon as I see a review up.... i am tired of being sold a bag of used goods.

I would be more than happy to do a review for posting, however I have no means of affording this right now as my money is currently tied up in making my arrangements for the HB Super 7:wink:
additionally...while I'm sure there was a lot of effort put into the design, the fact that you can only hold 100rds in each pod is a drawback for me, as well as the price tag on extra pods etc.

true, but you play back, for all we know it could be the front man dream, with the tank mounts

Once they come out with the adapter where you can put 2 pods at once then it have the same capacity of a normal hopper.

Although it increases your profile as your come around the side of a bunker (larger barrel target), you won't have any more hits on your hopper. Now all shots going over your gun will hit you in your goggles!

they are coming out with a tank adapter though ;) that will be very nice, it will be sooo freaking low...

honestly that's the same thing that people said about the warp feeds...if you get hit in the chest or the gogs, you were gonna get hit in the hopper anyways...you're screwed either way cuz you're still in the deadbox.

I wouldnt sacrifice 100 rounds so I can have the luxury of being ABLE to shoot 30 bps. No one in their right state of mortality can pull that off unless you have the TR set at mad bounce. Then you are looking at the ref pulling you. I think realistically people are looking at 18-22 maybe 24 with bounce and possibly parkinsons. Besides, why would anyone need to shoot 30 bps. That means that you will need to reload in about 3 seconds. I have a feeling this is going to flop. This is the same crap as the warped feed and look at how many fools use that piece. I have not yet once see a warped setup on the field and I think players are just too used to the conventional method of loaders. I think this product is too renegade and looks unreliable. I will stick to the z-board.

list goes on
Stick with tradition that works but just improve on it.

it seems to me the pro's/con's of shooting fast have been covered. but the more paint you throw, the better your chances of hitting a target. especially in windy conditions or off the break etc.
i personally get ALOT of hopper hits against opponents (so i can see why this was thought up). and am constantly adjusting the angle i hold my marker as so not to allow too much of it to show to my opponents. this sounds like something i would definately at least try. that is if they fixed the buggs mentioned earlier on.

Shooting while reloading your pod seems like it can be a problem. Just a thought.

The only big problem that I see is that when your last pod is empty, there is no more pressure on the ball stack. So, every ball from your pod to your gun gets shot back to the dark ages. Gravity fed only. :thefinger But as a rec player, I don't use 500 rounds in one game anyhow (speedball). The good part is being able to quickly change pods without spilling. Just my thoughts!
umm did anyone else realize its 24 BUCKS A POD!!!!
ill stick to my egg2

ok.. these things got shipped on the 17th of Feb... does anyone have one yet? Someone get Emmit one of these for a review!! The q-loader could be the next 'must have' items for paintball. Or It could be the next piece of crap that ends up in my room.

130 dollers is allot i spent that on my halo with the rip drive and its about crap weighs too much and i have problems chooping with it on so i would have to be proven that its all they claim

Anyone want to lend me a Angel 4 to test with the Q-loader?
bower23
02-29-2004, 07:41 PM
i want to see a review... but not that bad... sorry
Just wondering, are their pods super durable or am I looking at a regular pod with a special attachment&spring? Kind of brings new meaning to having someone shoot your pod when you chuck it after reloading :doh:
None the less it still looks pretty cool. I'd consider buying one but im only toting an ir3 so my soon to be z-board egg will do just fine.

I found a new video of the q-loader. Everyone check this out! Go to the site and It's on the first page. www.paintbrawler.com Let me know what you think!

somebody please hook one of these up to a speed and make a video.... :buckeye:

anyone check this video out yet? :dinner:

helllllllllllloooooooooooooooooooo I thought the guy did a very good job of showing the q-loader. Although I would rather see someone using a speed. That's just my two cents.... just because no one will give me theirs.

03-07-2004, 02:37 AM
it needs to be on a much faster gun and a larger video in general. maybe no a speed. more like a WAS'ed Impy shot by the guys on RAT...or maybe just a gun on AUTO ...lol o well ..i think from what it shows it would take much longer to "pre wind" and loads all the balls into the pod then just tipping ur bag into a normal pod...

I just got my q-loader yesterday and boy this thing is great. It took about 30 min to read the manual and install it on my marker. I shot 200 rounds and didnt have a single break. I tried mounting it under the barrel but that didnt feel right. This position works great. (Sorry about the bad pics)
Ok how about this http://www.hunt101.com/showgallery.php?ppuser=13059&cat=500

What position do you play Front or Mid, The Qloaders Tube might be blocking your View to see through.
Since your the First one with the pictures now try and show us two little videos.
one of Shooting a loader and refilling it, an other behind a bunker and viewing the Target.

i had some guy at my the field the over the weekend with one of these. he broke 2 of the pods and then snapped some thing on it, i dont know if it was him or if the thing is poorly made or what. i wasnt that impressed. it was awkward to hold too it made the gun front heavy. oh it was on a cocker if that means anything but i didnt like it.

Theres a 1/8th of a inch of strong plastic on the pods so they shouldnt crack or break.
winter001
03-10-2004, 07:11 PM
A couple of my friends just got their q-loaders, I shot one hooked up to a palmer blazer yesterday. I have to say the whole system feels very durable, the plastic is nice and thick and sturdy; reloading is fast and easy; it feeds quick and consistantly; loading the pods was easy; and the profile is darn small when the pod is mounted parallel to the barrel. All in all it seemed pretty cool, I'd really like to hook it up to my speed and see how it works, but from the looks of it the q-loader will keep up with anything just fine.

I think the concept is really well thought out.
Only thing that wories me is that before I make a move, ANY move, I always make sure that my loader is full. Nothing wirse than getting into a trade with another player and having to pot up if your in tight cover.
These pods carry 100 shots, right??
So you're going to make a move upfield, you look at the pod, it's only about 1/3rd full.
You'll have to sacrifice the paint in that pod to load a fresh one.
Unless your all using Q-Loadres on the same team, then your back guys can't pick them up as you all move upfield.
Just my opinion.
Wadesimmons
03-20-2004, 12:39 PM
well i think the pod holds 100rds anbd the tube may hold about 30?
SunTzu
03-22-2004, 08:00 AM
yeah the pods hold 100 rounds and have a constant feed rate of about 50 bps the pod is emptied in 2secs sooo..
u can also and i find this feaure very nice mount the pod vertically, more like the loaders on conventional weapons
there is a good review of the q-loader on warpig.com
