Q loader practical for tourney?

[PaintballSmurf13]

I'm sure your questions have all been anwered by now, but i figure i'd throw in my 2 cents.

IMO you should just stick with the warp. qloader pods are expensive and pods take a thrashing in tourny play. and you'd only be complicating things with a qloader.

Well after reading all these posts, I think on my current gun setup I'm gonna stick with the warp. As far as the difference in opinions, I've been around long enough to know which ones are right and which ones are from speculations. I maybe interested in making a Q loader front man setup. I think that would work and I see where I could make a very light fast setup.

The thought of dropping the extra weight of the hopper and warp feed is very appealing, but at this point in my game I have to shoot too much paint. I think the biggest problem with weight in paintball gun setups is the heavy airtanks, and barring some technological break thru in air bottles, I dont see that changing any time soon.

So, thanks for all the replies, pictures, debates, and especially feedback from Qloader users that support the Qloader.

This one might be true! Haha
Anecdotally, though, I do notice that whenever I see the rare qloader user, he invatiably turns out to be rather noobish and near worthless on the field.

I strongly considered qloading myself when I was moving to force feed. Couldn't really think of a mounting I liked, personally.

BTW you will note that at least in my responses, I never stated or implied that a traditional hopper setup plays as tight as a qloader in any particular situation. I only replied to your equally misleading statements in response to others earlier in the thread.

drg , I resent the statement in red , anyone , anyone can fill a pod & a hopper , NOT everyone will take the time to set up a Q correctly
I.ve never seen a Q on a speedball field ( doesn't mean someone hasn't done it ) all of the people I KNOW ( 6 that I can think of ) that have Q's are dedicated to them & paintball in general & have plenty of playing time under thier belt & are good to very good players ( myself included )
I've never met a noob running a Q setup

Well, just because someone is dedicated to their Q and not a noob doesn't mean they are any good. That said, it's just a personal observation, and one I've always wondered about because I see a lot of people singing their Q's praises on internet forums, yet whenever I see them in person the players they are attached to seem to fall short of expectations. I'm not sure whether there is any correlation here or not, which is why I made sure to point out that it's just anecdotal.
