    185 Dollar Loader ?








    Great deals on premium quality paintball gear designed and used by the best professional players in the sport. The best paintball goggles, masks, loaders, hoppers, harnesses, packs and more in the sport of paintball.



    Virtue Spire ?

    I thought the Rotor price at 170 wouldnt be topped, but this ones at 185 ?

    I dont see why.....

        Kind of reminds me of the Apache hoppers. I never even gave the hopper a second thought until I saw these videos:




        Still, I think it is over priced, I might pick up a used one in a year or so when the next greatest hopper is released and they sell used for half the price.

                I haven't looked at hoppers for several years, this looks pretty cool. But I'm curious why there was nothing on feedrates, reliability and not a single test shot string on a marker.

                At $185 is it made in the USA or China? That would be the big sell point for me.

                  No doubt made in china like the rest, thought they would of undercut the price of a rotor
                  Thing looks fugly I'll be sticking with my rotor.
                  It does kinda annoy me the price they charge for cheap plastic moldings

                      I wouldn't buy one because it is next to impossible to get a hold of anyone at Virtue lately. I was trying to get a board fixed and I sent a dozen emails and tried to call more than I emailed and I could never get anyone. I used to swear by Virtue products but now I don't trust them.

                        If those videos were the best idea Virtue can come up with, the marketing team need a swift kick up the arse. That promo was so lame, poorly produced and stupid I am stunned to be honest. If they are seriously expecting players to part with 185 bucks, they need to try a lot harder to sell the product in the first place.

                        As far as I'm concerned they can stick it where the sun don't shine, and I'll carry on using my tried and 'properly' tested Rotor, Halo's, Empire Reloaders, Vlocity etc..

                          The things that impressed me in the videos I posted was the hopper being submurged under water and still running and being shot by a shotgun. It was nice seeing a hopper take an impact like that and not crack or break. I am sure if it was a halo there would be cracks all in it. I will agree, every single thing else in the video was pathetic. I would of loved to of seen my dalmation tear into the hopper though, now that would of been a good test.

                            Well...I watched the vids, looked over the website...and come to the conclusion that this must feed 1 ball every hour and a half. They certainly haven't pushed the speed capabilities of their product and have completely glossed over that entire subject so one must conclude that their product is slow.

                              Agreed.
                              I want to see actual feed tests.
                              And how about unloading 200 paintballs at the loader at say 15 feet away.
