    Best loader out there

    I know that a thread like this seems to occur every other month or so, but I'd argue that technology is continually pushing the envelope, and I want the best. I'm in the market now again, just because my halo is being used by my uncle now, and I might need one this year.
    So, what model, what mods, and what supplier has given you guys the best results.
    I appreciate it,

    I'm interested in the answer to this also, having just bought a Mini, I'm looking for something force-fed, but that hopefully won't make the setup too top-heavy, seeing as how there's apparently no weight to the mini.

      Well, some could argue that the line of VLocety loaders are it, while I'm sure someone could say the new Empire Magna is king. While I've never used either of these hoppers, I can say that I love my Q-loader's ability to empty all 100 rounds of paint in about one and a half - two seconds time. I have yet to outshoot it, with anything I've put it on.

      Not gonna happen ona 68 Mag, and it hasn't happened on my Stock Ion, nor on my Raider board for the Ion either. Also, it hasn't been beaten by a Virtued SP8.

        I have a Empire Magna and really like it. I have use Halos and their kin (Reloader B/B2) since the first Halo came out. I have used a qloader, and while it's cool, the overhead of dealing with it makes it not worth it for me. I have not tried much else in the high end of hoppers/loaders.

          Once I added a gangstar chip to my Vlocity JR, it became my hopper of choice. It's nice and light, and fast enough to keep up with any of my markers.

            With Bit-Wizard's reloader mod the Reloader B surpasses the Halo and probably does better than the VLocity and Pulse.

              Personally I really like having a normal B2 Halo and putting a magna kit in there. Works excellently. The magna itself is very good.

                My boyfriend swears by the Qloader. My friend swears by the Egg. My other friend swears by the Velocity Jr. and the other swears by the halo b.

                I think it depends on who is using it and what they have used. It's hard to say.

                  Owned 'em all...

                  ...Except for the QLoader, which I've never used, I've had a V-Junior w/Gangstar, Halo, Empire B-2 (Still have it) & Magna.

                  -The Velocity gave me nothing but trouble. worked as advertised the first day I used it, then started to sputter (would freez in the middle of a string of paint), then stopped feeding more than one ball per shot. I keep my stuff in immaculate condition, so...Talked to other players in the local area, had similar results. Local shop owner (Zephyr in Ventura) said "they tend to do that sometimes, dont know why."

                  -The Halo worked well until you chopped a ball in the breech (Had it on my Texas storm Timmie). if the eyes got gunked, forget it. Also didnt like certain colored paint. So I switched to...

                  -Empire B2: Best force fed loader I've ever used. Is now on my SL74, no problems keeping up, even on Ramping. magnetic lid works well (tho i'm no tourny player, and have not seriously jostled it when full). Sound activation works as advertised with every marker its been on (Mags, Egos & Timmies). I have not yet chopped a ball with this on my ego (dont know if its the gun or hopper or both, but makes me happy!!!).

                  -Magna: Same as B2, just started using it, holds a few more balls. Works as advertised. Expensive. Same as B2. If you must have the latest & greatest- Go Magna. If you need to save a buck & still get the Best- Go B2. Both Rock.

                    Oldschool hard shelled Viewloader Revolution. cant beat the wait, and for a mech gun they are perfect

                    othewise any of the new age blimps will work

                          I have had the Halo's and their kind for a while, still got several. They are heavy and prone to breakage. I have found that the newish Eyeforce does the job that I need it to do. Around 80 bucks to boot. Force feed, with an Eye, no battery door to take hits and it keeps up with whatever it put under it. Now, I will qualify this and state that I always shoot semi, but can get pretty fast when I need to, in short bursts. The only thing that sorta bothers me is that when it is empty, it is sorta loud. Other than that, it is my loader of choice. Worth a look......
                          WOW, sigs. Havent seen these in a while here on AO.

                            I am playing in psp mode always, I need a hopper that will keep up with 15 bps, no more. small, light and good looking would be great.
                            Thanks in advance.

                              An evolution will do the trick. Or a ricochet apache.
                              But if you like to be safe, I'd go with a VLocity or a Halo or something.
