Q-loader

[spor]

How do you all think the invention of the Q-loader will effect paintball?


I think it wont really effect the tournament scene unless they copy the warp feed and make it by the tank. It is quite large for a tourney player, and heavy it would also seem.

Allhtough I do think it would be more reasonable for rec/ scenario/ woodsball play. I guess it could look like a fake grenade launcher? But I think the conventinal methods of carrying paint will prevail, if any thing a pod hopper will be perfected.

i think it will get 2 feet off the ground, fall hard and explode in a cloud of failure. the whole idea, not the actual loader, im sure that will suck to.

What is it?

[pbhippie ben]

People are getting to lazy, i think most people will stick with the original loaders.

Anyway you have to wind up the Q-Loader.

[FalloutMan]

yeah when you load up the pods which takes like 2 seconds...

and its the size of a pod and out of the way anyway...

[RedneckGunner]

I think its awsome.

[andrew 2589]

i thinks it great

has alot of adavtnages over electro hoppers

has a few disadavntages

but i think as it becomes more popular that the bugs will be worked out

[amzng_spyderman]

i'm still going to wait on that VL hopper that looks like a spaceship.

i like it cus it eliminates hopper shots but its really expensive so...i dono once it comes down in price i think it will slowly come into affect but never really take over

Well thats the things, its too small. it only holds 100paintballs, and each pod costs like 25 dollars. Thats way too money IMO, and i dont think it will make big.

[soundman]

funny I was discussing this in 8th hour today, the downside to the qloader is it holds 170 balls but when you shoot 150 balls you cant just reach in to your pack pull it out and refill you have to slap on a new hopper/pod so you either wast those 20 shots or run out of paint. Or at least thats what it looked like in the pictures. also if it feed 30 bps would the ball detents have to be stronger, I know wome people have problems with the halo as is.

[The.Wamp]

Mokeyfuzz here what a Qloader is http://www.warpig.com/paintball/technical/loaders/qloader/index.shtml.

The Qloader is reallllly cool :rolleyes:. Seriously though, no the Qloader looks stupid. I'll stick to the regular hoppers.

[asa4575]

100 rounds per tube will get you nowhere.

id rather stay with conventional loaders.

[hybrid-sniper]

eh, it has potential to go big, but odds are it wont, just needs better designing and perfection.

[IromKnight]

As with any technology, it will get better and cheaper over time. And 40bps is pretty damn cool. I had an idea for the q-loader. A spyder, if you let the hammer and bolt assembly cycle without catching the sear, cycles at about 38 to 39 bps. With a very simple modification to the trigger, you can allow the hammer to pass over the sear without catching as long as you hold the trigger down. Full auto 40bps = a serious paint slinger.
Course, you'd only get like 3 seconds of continuous fire before you'd have to reload.

i can already feel the pain as i walk off the field with my hand and gun raised in the air, barrel condom on and getting shot by one of those from a fidgity noob..


anyways, where does the loader mount? from the pics and video ive seen it was in the front of the gun..what about cockers?? imps,trixes,timmies?? anything with a lpr????

heh yeah, but you gotta admit, that would be damn cool. 40bps is almost as fast as the tippman hellhound. I really want to do it now.

when u buy the q-loader it comes with pods, or did u not realize this?

reg version comes with 2 pods

tourney version comes with 5 and retails for i think 139.99 usd and just under 200 for CDN dollars.


not bad at all IMO

The warpfeed does the same thing, and instead of people going, oooo what the hell is that erection towards the q-loader, they go sweet i need to get me one of em' to the warpfeed.

I do realize that, but they only hold 100balls. You gonna need more 2 pods for like $80, and for the 140$ for the tournament pack, your only getting 500balls. A lot of people use more than that, especially in tournies. I just think it costs way to much for what it comes with. Either way, no matter how many pods it comes with, your still going to have to reload a lot, and unlike regular hoppers, you cant shoot while your reloading.

[133+ Player]

Seems to me like it won't do jack for anything. Just another warp feed that has come during a time when you don't need one.

Have you seen the video on reload time? its next to nothing. I think i'm going to get one instead of a warp.

[wanabe TOSA]

ya plus that thing is super fast - have u seen the video?
that thing goes like 150 bps 4real

[AR55 MtM]

it does look promising but to big no matter where it goeso n your gun its still pretty big i still think the warp feed is awsome but this thing is a joke seriously it cost like less than $30 to make and turn around and sell it for $80 to $140

[narayan]

u dont even know the cost of manufaction, but u think it only cost 30? i highley doubt that.

how about all the new technology that went into the new invention? that takes time and money and alot of prototypes.

[AR55 MtM]

after you spend the tim making the prototypes then you get what you call your base model and you start making a mass producition of it at fast rates they are gonna use plastic plastic is cheap mind you and the material cost is so cheap ex: a 150 rnd tube cost like $3 right well it probably only cost less than a dollor to make

[xXAFireInsideXx]

ALRIGHT::

I was just at XPSL Vegas, and Q-loader was there, as well as a whole team shooting them.

THEY ROCK

I don't know for back players, it seems like a waste..but for front players, HOLY CRAP, they feed 40+ a second, NO JOKE, and probably the biggest thing:: NO PROFILE, if you mount it paralell to the barrel you can shoot your gun tilted sideways and not have to worry about your stupid hopper getting hit.

No profile and no more hopper hits seems worth it for front or mid players.

AND the huge cost for the set comes with two pods, the mounting system, the pod reloader and extra parts, it's not just the pods and mount. And you can get a five pod set for a little more $$.

I would definatley be more open minded and give it a try. Hopper hits suck.

anyways, i still dont see how it would mount on a cocker without getting in the way of the inline. (if you held the inline)

[wanabe TOSA]

ya those things are redicully fast

You can mount it on the vert reg or you can mount it vertically like traditional magazines on guns. You can get one for about $80, and I got my used warp for $70 so it's not as outrageous as it used to be.

[Triforce]

I dont even want to think what would happen if a ball broke in one of those...

It will be considering once you shoot those 2 pods worth, you're going to have to go through the process of reloading those 2 pods, it's not like you can just pour paint in. Not to mention, you NEED the tourney pack if you shoot more than 2 pods a game. I think that's the biggest rub about the qloader, along withn the fact that it holds 100 rounds, and you can't reload while firing.

[IromKnight]

Yeah plus you have to wind each pod up before each game and each pod is about $25. It also makes a larger profile when shooting around corners, but that's not that big a deal. It will be better once they are able to be mounted on tanks.

[soundman]

has anyone used this or seen it used?

Lots of things work great on paper but fail in the real world.

[Jeezer]

Its cool, but i like a hopper and pods better, something about watching those balls slip into my hopper makes me all fuzzy inside.

YES, there was whole team shooting them at XPSL, they were doing pretty good. you might be able to find pics at paintball.com

[thepeashooter]

I'll probably buy one when prices come down.

[SHADOWFISH]

Wow, its cool. Someone said that it would be a huge thing for front players and I agree. BUT for everyone that thinks loading this thing is fast, open a regular tube or pod of paintballs and flip it upside down....140 rounds, in one second baby. But yeah sweet idea though.

i kno me too lol - i dono why, its just tight

Yeah, I'm kinda back... for now.

Well, yeah, the guy at the Q-loader booth said to use or invest in a longer ASA, because then it's easier to hold the reg. They had a few setups at the booth, one on a cocker with a longer ASA, and one on an iR3, mounted on the reg itself. It is possible to mount one on the reg, but it does cut down on holding room alot.

anyway, I just shot a DM4.....holy crap.... I've gotta go clean up my underpants.....

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

were talking fast for a hopper - so no need to worry about choping due to it

[wanabe TOSA]

sorry to double post

but SHADOWFISH i doubt you've evn seen it in action..thos things can actully compare to dumping a pod of balls

[xXAFireInsideXx]

yeah, seriously, the guy at q-loader loaded up a tube for us, cuz I asked how fast it loaded, he said "....well....I'll have to show you"...

holy crap, the tube unloaded in literally less than 3 seconds. I couldn't stop laughing, it was amazing.

[SHADOWFISH]

wanabe TOSA: No i havent seen it in action. I would like to see it, wheres the video? Also I didnt mean to offend anyone with my last post cause I do think that the Q-Loader is a cool invention and its revolutionary (no loader pun intended) for the sport of paintball. And the fact that you an guaranty no chops with this loader is VERY cool.

Peace:peace:

EDIT: I found the site, and the videos, this thing BLAZES........wow.

[Lokichi]

The real question here is ....will it work on my A-5?! :eek:

[DarkWombat]

MUST! GET! ONE! This thing is sooooooooo sexy. Sure, I have a Spyder Xtra but I'll never have to worry about misfeeding paintballs and hopper shots...AGAIN! I'm seriously considering buying this system, 2 pod set for $80 is not bad, and I can always get more pods. I play with a full 200 round hopper anyways, but this thing would really lower my profile, and reloading is very simple (also kinda gives you that realistic military fighting experience, going all commando and reloading :eyes: ) But man, you've gotta see the review video to believe this thing (unless you went to a booth they set up somewhere, I haven't).

Nope, unless you take off the whole cyclone system. Then it will work.
