Probably marketing towards a lower costing hopper. (hopefully, anyway--it' only feeds at 8bps)

[digitard]

Yeah, that was already discussed today

:)

Its an "entry" level loader designed to be VERY cheap for people who are still using non-motorized to at least show them some love :)

Its better than a VL200

i'm thinking it's the replacement for the 9v rev

[agdemagman69]

looks like one of those vibrating loaders;)

[FreshmanBob]

From the look of the shell, all i can say is..

smashy smashy!

[SpongeBobSquarePants]

That is super fugly but o well yea prolly a replacement for the 9v

[mag-hatter]

what a pile of...brass.

why did they only put one paddle on it?!?! who only shoots 8bps anymore! even stock players can outshoot that thing :D.

[halB]

i wouldnt be suprised if pump players get it though. 200 rounds is a bit much for pump, a 140 would be juuuuuuuust right.

[-=Squid=-]

1) Its faster than a VL 200
2) Its 30 dollars
3) IT looks similar to a HALO
4) Give ita reast people, its a good entree level hopper :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

mach 404.. hehe

[Kevmaster]

guys....

1) this is not ment towards people who have 12v Revvies, Egos, Riccos or Halos...

2) there are MANY automags out there that cant do a 8bps string for 2-3 seconds...yes AUTOMAGS!


give BE a break. they are making an ENTRY LEVEL PRODUCT...not a HIGH END product(they alrady have one)

[Mr.Minus]

anyone ever think if might be for the few rare pump players out there?
i play pump quite a bit...just think its more fun, and i think its a great loader, good size good idea, but i agree its a pretty bad design...
just stop bashing every product you see???
if you dont like it just keep your mouth shut...

[mag-hatter]

would it be possible to put 12v stuff in there and go for it?

[confedman75]

capacity of a halo

loading speed of a 9v

probably the price of a 12v x-board


What is the point?



is there anything good about that loader?

[cris8762]

uh, it costs 30 bucks.....:rolleyes:

[FreshmanBob]

the old 9 volts you could switch the board an go 12 volts but this looks like there isn't enough room for 2 9 volt batteries.

From what I see, it would very well fit a market need. Shake and bake players are not shooting massive BPS anyway. And at $30 it would very well make these players very happy. Also as stated, pump play would work well for these as well. It allows someone to have a motorized hopper that does not need lightning fast loading speeds, but don’t want to have to worry about ball jamming. And the price set at $30 is, in my opinion, perfect.

I may even look into buying one for my son, and maybe my wife. If only for testing purposes… they currently have un-motorized hoppers… and guess what? They do just fine. ;)

Contrary to what popular belief seems to be, most players don’t play tournaments or require blazing fast ROFs. Heck, I would be willing to bet that most players are not even shooing as fast as they THINK they are. ;)

BE is not aiming this product for the high end market. And it kind of bothers me that some folks seem to want to put down any product that is not up to the same standards as the high end equipment. I think BE did a good job with this product, allowing a smaller stepping stone at an affordable price. Sure I personally would not use it on my RTPro and would sooner have a Halo (but am running a 12V Revy with X-Board and it works just fine)… but this hopper looks like it would be just fine for a good number of folks.

Can you imagine if we all judged cars using these same standards? ;)

(Added: The only thing I can see that may be a drawback is the 140 ball size... I like the 200. But if the price is a lot less than a 9V Revy, it very well could still be acceptable for Rec Play.)

[Impy-rocks]

that is one of the weirdest loaders ive seen.... but i guess its time that they did make a loader for people who just started playing without having to worry about chopping as much as they would with a vl 200

[-=Squid=-]

Also, I kinda like its looks :D

Go look at how much some internet sites are selling 9 volt and 10 volt revvys for. You can get a 9 volt for $30 and a 12 volt w/x board for $45-$50. It would be better to spend the extra $15 bucks on the 9 volt, so you can later upgrade the parts in it as you get better.(propeller, board) What happens when some person breaks the shell? Unless they sell shells for it seperatly, people are going to get mad at broken shells. And believe me, if there made anywhere to the quality of the newer VL revvys, the shells WILL break.

[WiseGuyMag]

Humm... me thinks it would be good for a .. a.. uhh forgot the names of the Semi-Auto BE guns.. well one of those Talons would do fine :D

[El Gallo Negro]

It's perfect for those shooting Tippmann 98's and any Spyder that's non electric

It may be a tad on the fugly side but it has it's uses... You'll probably see these at Wals-Mart :D

This is VERY true, and I thought of that after I posted. I will however point out that this does add a different style to choose from. It is more along the lines of a Halo in looks than a Revy. And they claim to feed at the same speeds.

As for shells, you can bet they will sell replacement shells… that is a no brainer. ;) But MY revy shell has never broken, nor has my feed neck. (Yup, I am pre BE). Hopefully they solved the brittle plastic problem, or will VERY soon, they are good loaders.

And as for upgrading…. Yes, you can upgrade a 9v Revy…. But you can upgrade a Halo A as well. OR you can just jump to another loader. I would also bet they will offer upgrades for this new loader as well, but personally don’t see it as that big of an issue.

Why should there only be ONE style of low end motorized hopper? There are several mid to high end styles…. It’s all good.

[madmatt151]

Well, its not THAT ugly. I mean the way you guys are writing, you would think it looked like a Talon or something :) It is cool to have an entry level motorized hopper. I can't understand how you guys are breaking your hopper shells. I have had two different Revys, play aggresaive woods ball and have never once broke a shell. Strange.

Are you hoppers PreBE? I have one that's PreBE and it's never had a problem in the 5 years I've had it.

The Pre BE hoppers were made much differently with a less fragile shell then the new ones.

I have a preBE as well.... same same.

[BobTheCow]

lol isn't this thread pretty old?
I think we need some feedback from people who have actually used it, if people have actually been buying it, before we judge.

[FooTemps]

It's a lower end electric loader. Just like the 9v revy (which I use), it will be geared towards the players who want better feeding rates but don't shoot fast enough to fully utilize a hopper like the 12v revy. I'm fairly sure that it will sell well since there are a lot of players like me out there. I fire about 5 to 7 bps maximum so something like this would fit me.

[hyper_mag2]

At first I thought it was hideous and didnt know why BE would waist their time making a loader that only feeds 8bps...But then again look at the guns they make. Its probably ment to keep up with those guns and not emags and angels. Instead of spending 50 on a revvy cause BE guns cant shoot 12 or 13 like a revvy can feed, people who own slow guns could just get this. It would be like wasting money to get a revvy if you got a BE gun.
