q loader eh? give a warp a run for its money?

[personman]

I think the Q Loader is pretty stupid. Maybe if it cost 50 bucks and the pods were no more than 10 a piece (and even that is really high) then it would be worth it. I cant justify spending 300, or 200 whatever it was on a plastic tube and some hosing, and some wierd spring thing. I would rather get a warp feed for 70, and a revy for 40. That totals up to 110. Not too bad, considering you have near disposable pods, and a higher ball capacity. Sure, you may not be able to feed as fast, but at 30 balls per second, a 130 round tube (im assuming thats how much they hold) isnt going to last but 4-5 seconds

$250 for the system and $25 for extra "pods"? I think it will go nowhere fast.

hell, for that much i could get a back up used mag, new classic mag, or bko,
to heck with that idea

Way too much money for a hopper. As far as looks goes; who cares? A warp doesn't look that pretty either. Looks should come in second to performance and quality.

Personman, can you justify the $150 for a warp when they first came out? I could, but now I see what a waste it was. The warp was good, but it had alot of flaws. After owning one, I'll say that I will never own another. The Q Loader is on my list of things to get. I really want one. $250 is the price I will pay.

You will have to tell us how much you love it or hate it when you get it.

What I dont see is, how can you justify a $250 price tag on a loader with no electronics? All it is is springs. I can see the expense of research since its a new concept but 250 is totally crazy.

1500 dollars for milled aluminum a valve and a regulator isn't? (ie a marker)

I am all for the qloader or similar type loading system (because hoppers suck), but only if they can figure out how to mount it on the gun without the bloody tube.

As in direct mount on a no rise or lowrise.

I think most manufacturers are forgetting the aesthetics of their products too much.

Quite frankly I am still kind of pissed off that the 1500 dollar Xmag still has a crappy air hose hanging off the valve.....looping all over the place and screwing up the gun. Why isn't it built into the gun?
I loooove my RT. And still dying to get my Xmag.....
(with some mods), but gods airgun industry manufacturers really need to hire someone with some design/aesthetic sense.
(With the exception of the WDP, they seem to really know what works, form & function)

Remember people.....form may follow function; but FORM must be present to sway buyers.

Brass Eagle is working on a new loader with a similar concept as Qloader.....Looks a hell of a lot better.

We'll see if it pans out though. BE is still craptastic.

I'm not going to argue cost till there IS a known retail cost(If ever).But, very low profile,extremely fast feeding,no batteries to go dead and need new and no electronics to fail.Could be alot worse.How many people thought/think Warps looked good first time they saw a pic of the setup.

Never know.......

[~WarpedRT#2~]

No problem Chojin Man, Anyone know when they are slated for release if they havent already been?

Yeah, you really have to look at other things as well, how many people here are willing to spend an extra few hundred on milling?

I'm hoping this thing will be really cool, it does look like it will be. I'll be using the tank mount so no weight will be added to the front.

Me? I wasnt around when warp feeds first came out. When I got my first warp feed about two years ago, I loved the heck out of it. Why did I get it? Well, I was 12, I had a birthday coming up, I found a good deal, and I thought they were pretty neat. About half a year later, though, I took it off and decided I diddnt like it anymore, and traded it for a vertical feed EMAG body (back in the day, before ULEs Now I'm warped again and happy as ever
If you guys have a deep pocket, then this is your thing. But honestly, like I said before, who wants to pay 250 for a plastic tube and some springs? Honestly, you can buy another gun as pointed out by someone else, or something like a computer.. I mean if you compare the technology of the Q loader with the technology of anything else in that price range, you'll be asking yourself.. what the hell am I thinking?

I bet the actual retail price for the Q loader will be around 200, maybe a bit more, but that is still an outrageously large sum that you are paying for what you are getting. Look at the warp feed.. it has a circut board, all these little resisty thingys, a motor, nice shells, the discs or whatever.. Meh, I dont know exactly how a Q loader works, but its not worth it.

Warps are better on AO, remember that... Even though they are slow, not versatile, wires break off, etc.

"warps are slow"... since when???

"not versatile"... watch Chester play sometime!

"wires break off"... i guess if you dont know how to take off a 9v battery

[Chojin Man]

I wonder what the actual production cost is to make a qloader? Probably around $30 or less.

[cledford]

I can't wait for the Qloader to come out.
