ok dont ask me for a video cause im gonna try to make one. it probably wont be soon since i have a weird old camera and a weird old computer. so i made this pipe that has a spring in it that pushes paintballs into my feedneck REALLY FAST. i used pvc piping and some springs from my the spiraling of my assignment book at school. those springs happened to work best. so i made the piping fit onto my feedneck with electrical tape. i loaded the pipe by just pushing the balls inot the pipe. the spring was in back of the balls to pish them out. now i had 2 balls in my feedneck and 15 in the pipe. and i shot ALL the balls in about a second. so about 15 balls per second give ot take a ball. i was so suprised. so my friend wants me to shoot him with it. so we might be able to tape that but im not sure. but anyway it was so cool. the balls apear as a line or string. it as AWESOME. this was just a fun project but darn it worked good.

Umm...a warp feeds faster than that, so does a halo, even an Egg can...and although you are pushing it's limits, a 10 year old VL2000 can feed almost that fast. 15bps is not all that amazing.
sorry...

15bps is nothing. While the spring in a tube idea is cute.
I always thought the best way to test a markers top rate of fire would be a constant pressure on a stck of paintballs.
I figured a long tube with a free floating piston and a regulator to control the pressure.Comment

And people complain about reloading Qloaders.Originally posted by Muzikman
Was the whole ball stack in one tube and pressurised at one end? How was the pressure maintained? The lotto-auto-ball thingie, if that's what you mean, really just used pressure bursts to propel balls to the loader/marker actuall feeding was gravity fed at the marker.
It could certainly be possible to design a bent tube that held that number of balls and a piston that could navigate the twists.
But, the release of the Qloader made my idea completely obsolete really. But, for experimentation purposes it would be easier to control air pressure than readjust Qloader springs.Comment

Damn you people are tough..lol! Yes, it doesn't feed as fast as other loaders or hold as much but i don't think he was going to try and market this to the industry. The fact that he made this out of spare parts makes it pretty cool. Tinkering is fun

Well, not 100% sure, some of the people that were involved in the industry back around 96 or so could probably tell you. The guy was demoing it at IAO and one of his tricks was to turn the gun upside down and shoot a long string of balls.
From what I was able to gather at the time, and this is working off 8 year old memory, it was a long tube coiled in the backpack with the end of it sealed and pressured. I assume there was an LP regulator there some place as 800PSI on the ball stack might be a bit too much.
At the time I just assumed that the tube was close enough to the size of the ball that they just pressureized the whole tube and that pushed the balls though.
As for loading...yes, that was the HUGE downfall.
I had never heard anything else about it after that IAO. I think it was one of the IAO's between 96-98. I am not thinking it was 96 as that was the year our team demo'ed the traccer balls...so the backpack loader was 97 or 98.Comment

thanks wingman13.
like he said i was not trying to market the thing. i was just fooling around and made this for fun and it happened to work pretty well. and really? i i always that that 15 or 16 bps is fast. to you guys its not though. what do you guys consider fast?

Make me a loader that can feed 50bps then you will be fast. I think the Qloader can do over 30bps, so anything slower isn't impressive

Don't get me wrong. I think it's cool you can get that fast from something you tinkered.Originally posted by mag88888thanks wingman13. like he said i was not trying to market the thing. i was just fooling around and made this for fun and it happened to work pretty well. and really? i i always that that 15 or 16 bps is fast. to you guys its not though. what do you guys consider fast?
But FAST is at least 20bps. See WARPIG for state-of-the-art fast.

ill try to make something that goes 20 bps. if i accomplish this ill let everyone know in a new thread. but for now im ok with 15 or 16 bps. not many of my friends are that good at dodging.rt ule custom, boomstick, ult,apoc2k and x board revi, i want:j&j ceramic.Comment
