It uses two 9 volts instead of 6 AA's.
Might be worth looking into just so you dont have to have spares of several different battery types. Looks interesting. Hopefully they will actually be able to sell them for longer than 5 minutes before they get sued (can you say Pulse) ?

Dunno, it has to have some sort of micro controller shouldn't it?

a mini pcb thing,, this is interesting i could see converisions for vlocitys/halos and such if its really that good.

hmmm.... no board? is it a shake and bake hopper?

It says "no board to speak of" which to me means a very small board. Interesting..

If there truly is no microcontroller, then its a motor,a paddle, and a switch. Do you use the switch to reverse it? If so, then thats what it sounds like.

It has a small PCB that mounts the on/off switch a reverse switch, and a LED to indicate on/off.

This past weekend we stuck it on a bunch of different guns, some in uncapped ramping and it kept up just fine.

well with a smaller motor(it appears) ,no board etc it should be fairly light compared to a halo/reloader

lets just hope if its a good loader kee doesnt kill them if theyr stepping on patents

the pulse was a good hopper, but the shells were horrible so i wont miss it

--im assuming the board was one of the possible infringements, hence no board.

I don't think the two 9v versus six AA is necessarily an advantage.

Odds are the 9 volts are hooked up in parallel producing 9 volts and 1250mAh of capacity.
Six AA alkaline connected in series cells produce 9v nominally and should have somewhere in the neighborhood of 2800mAh capacity - much longer life. Plus two 9 volts are little bit more expensive than 6AA on average.

it looks like it wont hold very much paint. i wonder what the capacity is?
