    get a re loader for a mech mag. thats all you need and they aren't as cheaply made as revvys. they spin with each shot fired so you have a continuos stack in the feedneck.

    Florida peeps...step up!!

      Now, if you're getting a mech mag with an x-valve remember that you can sweetspot it to pretty high rof's. If you plan on doing this (may need an adjustable tank), then you may want a faster loader than a Revvy. A HALO B, Reloader B or Qloader are probably the best 3 loaders on the market. Even if you aren't going to shoot that fast, don't waste money on a Viewloader. At least get a HALO TSA or Ricochet. Both are way more reliable and feed more consistantly. I've had a Xboarded Revvy, Ricochet 2k, and Qloader. I was shooting at about 10-13bps and my Revvy wasn't feeding consistantly enough, I was dry firing a lot. Then it started breaking all the time (shells). Finally I got a Ricochet. When I got my mag I went for the Qloader since I knew I was going to be shooting fast and the Q has some nice other advantages. But anyway, almost anything in the $40-70 price range is superior to a Revvy. Try a couple loaders out on your mag first. Then pick which one you like best. That's the smartest way to purchase equipment.
      Thanks for a useful answer. I have a Q, but I just can't get it to work reliabily. I think I'll sell it and pick-up a TSA.

        depends if your shooting style warrents a halob, not the marker, ive seen halos on mech spyders, and grav feeds on high end electro's (actuallly, that was on my own gun ) anyway, depends, chances are, lvl 10 isnt gonna chop, so, even if you do shoot to fast, not a big deal

          i am a big fan of the halo and i suggest anyone that owns their own marker should own a halo too.

            Yeah, get an Empire Reloader for a mech mag. I have one and it has done nothing short of impress me. Strong shells, good battery life, fast, reliable loading, and a very good price (about $45). Feeds with every shot (sound activated) and has an auto-shutoff system.

              A halo is not that much bigger than any other hopper, if you look at them side by side
              I would go with one over any other hopper on the market they just work for me

                  as a halo user who has owned almost every hopper, or at least used it, no, the halo isnt that much bigger, but it is heavier, particularly twoards the from (batteries) which is why people need rail drops or even reverse drops to balance their setups
