Dye Rotor -- "50+ BPS"

Definitely a cool idea, now I just want to see a video of it with paint in it, preferably in slow motion like the Kee videos:

And a video of it on a mag to see if it can keep up with the fastest, since it claims 50+BPS.

Why Why why. Cant they make a 13.3 (or whatever) bps loader that is small and light? Why do we need 50+ bps? Still, as an engineering student, i do want to see how it works it looks really interesting.

DYE is very good, I believe thier claim, but I too would love to see a video.

[michbich]

Very good idea.

It honestly doesn't matter if it can feed 500bps, 100bps, 50bps, or 25bps. If you play PSP you can't shoot over 13.3. If you don't, you're not going to be shooting over 18 pulling in semi, and that's a generous number which would only come on a peak burst. No field is going to let you set your marker to uncapped full auto or uncapped ramp and let you play.

In any event, it's a $150 hopper and looks like a nerf football. It's neat that it can be taken apart so easily, and it looks relatively durable. I suppose only time will tell. I'm sure Dye will sell lots of them, and I'm sure lots of kids will re-sell them at half price not too long from now just because they want something else.

really cool design with the feed system, although it's hard to tell I wonder if ball breaks will be an issue at all with pinching or anything like that. But who seriously outshoots halos anyway?

[mpsd]

Rotor = Torque in a fancier (and heavier) shell for twice the price. That's it.

I really love how easily it comes apart. I think the biggest PITA about loaders to date is how annoying they are to service.

[WARPED1]

I love the color accents. I wonder if they're modular and interchangeable?

Ditto.

Why!!!

[devildog]

although they make good products, why is everything that dye touches HIDEOUS!!

Amen to that brother. Their barrels are nice, but other than that blech

Likes:
it comes apart easy, but really thats not too impressive seeing that I have taken apart my halo 1 time ever and that was to install a rip drive.

3AA and a battery life of 50,000+ shots? sounds good, wonder how true it is.

Dislikes:
feed rate is useless, 50bps are you kidding....empty hopper in under 4 seconds....time to reload. Since your firing so fast, cant gauge how many shots are left, so keeping a few balls left in the hopper "just in case" while reloading is nearly impossible. IMHO ROF is a moot point, has been since we passed 15bps.

Looks like you have to disassemble the whole thing to change batteries.

like devildog and Pullman just mentioned.....why is it so ugly?

Price

and finally, its another blimp

I have a few more, but this is getting too long as is

[paintball72]

having a loader that can feed faster than you can shoot is good for loading consistency but 50bps is just excesive. if you need to shoot that fast to get someone in there bunker you have problems. i do like the design of the rotor system though. but i also have to agree that the shell is ugly.
