are electronics loaders usefull/efficient for (high end) PUMP guns?

[-=Nosebleed=-]

I have no idea since I'm a newbie to paintball and from France if it's an excuse =)
but maybe it isn't THAT a stupid question after all *wonders* lol

ok so yeah, are electronic loaders (such as VL Evolution/Revolution or Ricochet loaders) usefull and/or worthy for high end PUMP guns? (Sterling STP, Phantom, Sniper 2, etc)

is the shooting rate of a pump gun high enough to simply *consider* getting one of those loaders? sometimes when you're running low on paintballs, your "normal loader" won't take the last paints unless you shake it... is it just worthy for that reason?
is it any recommended at ALL or is it snobism? lol

Well, you don't NEED one, but it can help, sometimes they do get jammed. In general though, pumping the gun will shake it just enough to clear up jams. But you do still have to shake it occasionally.

i wouldnt recommed it, that would be a waste cause my regular vl200 can keep up with my semi at like 7+balls per second

umm ur not that bright pump guns only shoot like 1 ball a second a revy keeps up with 12 balls a second

[pr0kch0p]

actually i have seen many pictures of people with pump guns having 12v revvies on their pumps.

if you want one go ahead and get it. you can keep it if you upgrade to a higher end gun later on

hey prokchop why dont u change ur name to porkchop it makes more sense

[pr0kch0p]

i did it on purpose.

i used to post on the off topic counter-strike (counter-strike is a internet first person shooter) forums and instead of saying porn, we say pr0n. so i posted my picture on the forums becasue there was a picture thread and i am fat so someone told to eat a mcpr0kch0p, i dropped the mc and thus my name.

That's because your semi sends blowback up the powerfeed jarring the balls loose. A pump has no blowback

Go to the very top and you'll see ' Avatar '

The very top right part of the screen. Then pick or browse one.

:) It's that easy


And back to the topic..i dont think you would need a Revvy, because when you pump it would move the hopper enough to shake the balls, so you don't need them paddled.

But......if you feel you need one, and think that you might go to a semi in the near future (before more technology comes out :) or prices drop) then go ahead and get it, and then you can just put it on your new gun if you get one.

If you are playing rec then don't bother, if you play tournies with your pump go for it.

That sounds like a good guideline to go by..listen to krasher
