Which Loader?

[Madukes]

ok, i know this has been covered before, but i just can't seem to find a decent comparison of loaders or which one is the "best". i have been out of the game for a couple years so alot has changed. when i got out of the game, halo and egg II ruled the market. and now i see that alot of loaders that seem to be based on the halo. is this true? and i currently have an egg II and i plan on keeping the egg on my shocker 4x4 and getting a new loader for my A1. i am just curious what the pro's and con's of each loader is. and which one would be the "best". i really like the NXe Jrny. but it isn't out yet correct? whats the difference between the different torque loaders, the VLocity and VLocity jr. the pulse loader, empire magna, etc..., etc...

I had a Empire magna and I HATED it. It's 100% sound activated and crap. All sorts of problems. VLocity and Halos are the main ones. My girl has an Egg III and it's crap. Very cheaply made. I use a VLocity and LOVE it. If I were you I'd pick one of those up. Don't go with a stock VL Jr though. The chip sucks. A lot of people go with a VL Jr shell (bigger mouth), but has VL internals.

[Madukes]

is the VLocity made out of the same crap shells that the revvy's were made out of when VL got bought out by Brass Eagle? they look kinda cheap. i've never seen one in person but they look like that shiny cheap brittle plastic that they old revvy's were made out of. lemme know. oh and yeah i'm not too keen on the empire magna either. never liked any of their loaders.

[Lithium406]

I've never seen one break. I've seen Halos shatter, but never a VL. I'm pretty sure they are all made of the same plastic (They being halos, eggs, vls, etc). I think the only one that's different is Torque.

[Madukes]

yeah, whats the deal with the torque?

[pittbull01231]

I have a HALO B and it works just fine. No problems with it.

[lefty21]

Hmm, halos are a lil rough on paint...Virtued Vlocity and don't look back.

[Shibbykins]

Ive always shot Halos with V35 or Intellifeeded Halos myself. the Pulse loader is straight up amazing. Made me put my halos on the back burner. I find it really gentle on paint. I also have a Vlocity but i find it a little more rough on the paint and its loud as §§§§.

[stifler_51]

i use a halo b v35 as well

[speedysprocket]

ya, well I use an egg ii and it'll keep up with a halo! it also is still in one piece, not shattered!

[tehVirus]

I use the V35 as well. should be fine so long as you dont try to make it feed 35bps when your only shooting 13 etc. =D

[pittbull01231]

Yeah the Halo B can be a little rough on the paint but what I did to fix that was take that spring out and well basiclly made it softer so there is some play in the cone so i havent had any problems with my halo. Ive had one ball bust in my loader and that was just from poor crapy field paint.

[speedysprocket]

I use the V35 as well. should be fine so long as you dont try to make it feed 35bps when your only shooting 13 etc. =D

No, I can shoot 23 bps considently and it keeps up.

[tehVirus]

ok but you still dont need to hopper to feed way past the speed you shoot. =(
makes it a blender. =/ on a side note how do you shoot so fast o_0

[speedysprocket]

a tiny bouce, and a lot of pratice. it is nicer to have a loader to feed faster so it always keeps a ball in the breech and less chance for a breakage.

[Madukes]

ok, so right now, i've narrowed it down to a few hoppers, i was just wondering if anyone had any info on specific features of each loader that the others might not have. i have limitied it down to the V35 halo, the pulse loader, and i just wanna know more about the torque, what makes it different then the rest.

[tehVirus]

screwless design, faster teardown, couple more things I think but those are the strong points. =D

[Madukes]

are they just as fast an a halo or a pulse? and whats the advantage of getting a pulse over a halo?

[tehVirus]

well the high-end one does 30 bps but if you are going to do tournaments or only use semi-auto somewhere around 24bps should do fine. action village has them if you want to have a look see. =D

speedy I thought bounce is illegal in most tournaments. =(

[Madukes]

yeah thats where i first saw them was on action village. i was just wondering if they were any good/worth the money. or whether i should just go for the pulse

[pA_the_man]

the torque is amazing.
i use one right now and its great.
as they said there is now screews in the shell and its easy to take apart.
but best thing about it is that its light (the lightest forcefeed) well balanced, great battery life,gentle on panit even the motor is always running,
very strong plastic (ive seen a vid when a guy shots at a vlocity and it shaters after 20-30 balls och the torque made like a whole hopper and still doesnt break)
and about the speed. droptest it does like 35 bps but on gun like 28 bps.

thats my 2 cents

here is the link on endurance test

It is, but I really don't play tornaments, if I did, I would have to use a lower Tr setting. It's not that much anyways. I don't think a ref would find it.

[Madukes]

just bought a pulse guys! thanks for all the feedback i really appriciate it.
