Empire Reloaders

[Vex]

Does anyone have any experience with Empire Reloaders? I need a new hopper, but I don't want to spend an arm and a leg. I think I'll pass on the Mach 404.

And, is it just me, or does the Empire look remarkably a lot like a Revy?

Thanks.

the reloaders are sound ativated. i didnt get to use it, but the kid i was playing with was using one. he loved it, it was just like an intellifed rev, but with no wires.

So basically, it's a Revy with a different type of feed system... From the reviews that I read @ pbreview.com, it seems like a good deal. If any parts bust on it, they can be replaced with Revy parts--which isn't a bad deal.

I think I'll try it!

its...ok i guess it still feeds the same rate as a revy though.

im sure i will get flamed but out of the lower end hoppers i would choose the rickochet

yeah they are sound activation they spin on every shot

I have nothing but good things to say!

The Empire Reloader uses the same shells as the revy so, yes, it will look the same.

Yes it does spin with every shot.

It uses different paddles than the original revys.

It feeds as fast as any gravity loader can, which is to say that the balls can only drop as fast as gravity will allow. This comes out to about 12bps.

The advantage I notice over the rico is efficiency. I've shot over 6000 balls on a pair of Energizers and the low battery light has not even flickered.

Empire Reloader shells aren't exactly the same. They don't have an eye in the feedneck, and there isn't a slot cut for one either.

It's a good hopper tho. It'll keep up with 12 bps or so.
