Loader of Choice

[El Zilcho]

Probably already discussed elsewhere but I will ask anyways.

What is your loader of choice? By that I mean which loader do you play with most because it is the most reliable, most efficient, best fits your needs etc? I play with an Eggy 4 and never see myself needing anything more. Why do you play with the loader that you do?

Warpless halo too with a high torque slot car motor

[cockerpunk]

revvy most of the time, proph when i need the speed (rarely)

[OPBN]

I typically take 4 hoppers/loaders with me when I play. Winchester, Sportshot, Revy and HaloV35. First three for pump depending on how I feel for the day, last one for anything else.

I will say that I am truly impressed with the Rotor, I'm just too cheap to buy one. Brother bought one a couple of years ago and the ease of taking it apart is awesome!

I have a warpless magna setup, but it is a pain to clean. A rotor... its meh... but I really love the spire, quiet, auto unjam, extremely easy to take apart for cleaning and not a super blimp, I recommend giving the spire a spin

I've tried others but ease to disassymble and quietness are important for me since with my injury I rely on a slow stealth game

Q Loader!

Because it makes for a compact and low profile setup. When paired with a warp bodied mag there is nothing sitting on top of the marker.

Since I mainly play woods & recball, and since I don't shoot large volumes of paint I find that the approx 100 round capacity fits my style of play well.

On my S6 I use either a Sportshot, Revy, or an APP 50rnd hopper with an APP pod lid. On my Mags or an electro I use a Rotor.

I have used halo's with the suicide style shells forever. I needed to get a second complete setup recently though and got a good deal on a used rotor, I have to say I like a lot of the features with the rotor, but this friday will be my first time playing a game with it.

Dye Rotor here. I love the profile, and its fast! It doesn't skip a beat with feeding my ULE Mag, and that's pretty impressive to me.

You really cannot go wrong with a Z2 or Spire.

[halB]

I recently picked up a spire 260 and I have to say I am in love with this thing.

[BTAutoMag]

I have a prophecy right now and after using it I will never use another halo again

You really cannot go wrong with a Z2 or Spire.

Because I am lazy and don't feel like doing the research, why would I pay for a spire when I can get something comparable for ≈ $60 less?

[BTAutoMag]

Ive been utterly destroyed on a speedball field when a halo jammed on me. my prophecy has never jammed.

the more reliable your equiptment the more you can focus on whats in front of your barrel and not behind it

I know someone who puts a rotor on his pump, I laughed but he pointed out that he's dry fired on a sure thing then instantly got taken out when there was no ball in his chamber

Better ball capacity, better shells, easier disassembly...
Feeding: I think the Z2 has an edge over the Spire. Both are not prone to jamming like the Rotor. Both are much quieter.
Shell durability is about the same. The lid on the Spire is much easier to change out.
Design: The Spire wins hands down. I was able to completely disassemble my Spire Sunday on the field under fire and swab out my feedneck with the shell still on the gun.

Now with the larger shells out for both the Spire and Z2 the smaller standard models should drop in price a bit if they haven't already.

I have a ton of different loaders, including a Rotor and 2 Prophecies. The Z2 and Spire are my favorites. Prophecy is a distant 3rd only because the shells are weak.
