Reloader B desighn flaw

[68magOwner]

Well yesterday I was sitting around the local shop showing off the new Force Fly, and shooting the breeze with the guys when the topic of the Reloader came up since he has a couple in stock. Well we took one out and looked at it, and admittedly it looks pretty good on top of the Orange Force, however we found an interesting design flaw with the hopper.

With all these markers on the market that won't allow the marker to cycle without paint in the breech we've now got a hopper that won't feed without hearing the sounds of the marker firing....well that's great until you run the hopper empty!!!! If you run the hopper empty you've got to prime it again. Talk about a design flaw!!! You've got to stop in the middle of your game and crank the rip drive to prime the hopper again so you can start playing again. Who's got time for that every hopper????

Just thought I'd share for those that might be on the bubble about this loader. Shells are nice, but priming it all the time would get old real fast

dont run dry


just do this untill your hopper runs out then do this

[Prezents]

Should have

They should have put in a prime button like the warps

Your arn't suppose to run your hopper dry in the first place.

ok, shure, but can you honestly say you have never run your hopper dry? ....actually...i can only remember one time....but im shure ive done it other times

[PaintballSmurf13]

I run my hopper dry sometimes, but it only really happens when I run out of paint and so i'm screwed anyway....

You know the Reloader-B has a Rip-Drive installed?



And if this is as sensitive as the original Reloader, it'll spin when pouring paint (that sound activates) and if you hit the lid hard enough it should activate it.

adapt and overcome

luckily if you run the hopper dry it will spin when you reload cause it hears the sound....and it will spin from time to time (dont know the xact interval) when it is empty!

it will spin when loading paint and if you hit the lid/open close it.. i love it and of course im yet to have this problem then again my ace aint working so its all lvl 10 now!! also if you hit the power button while the loader is on it will prime again!! and it has rip drive!! for all this the design flaw isnt much of a flaw and since it obviosly wont happen often the aggrevation of having to push a button or turn the rip drive or just plain reload shouldnt be overlooked for the advantange of not frying your board cuz your eyes dont like dark paint!

Just put yourhead rihgt next to hit and start making shotng noises, like BAM BAM BAM BAm. one fo them wil eventually set it off, design prob fixed. Hehehe, i realy have no idea what im talking about, ive never olayed wiht a sound activated hopper.

[elpimpo]

what if u were next to a guy with a stingray, those suckas r loud, would it spin when it heard him?

[RingOfScale]

ehhh, it scared me when i saw this thread cause i wanted to get one, but everyone after the orignal post seems to have solved the problem <>

[Torbo]

the sound of the paint hitting the floor of the loader spins it long enough to fully wind the ball stack.

[Jackel411]

Yeah the B's board is very sensitive.. Ive actually had it prime while loading paint.. and spin again after I wack the lid shut with a pod
