What feed's faster?

[MINDofSIN]

In your opinion, which loader feeds faster? Why?

Xboard 12vt Revy
Ric2k

[Vaypourus]

Go to the Warpig article and read up about it. They did numerous test with numerous different hoppers.

I've read it.

I don't feel comfortable buying a hopper based on a test in a controlled environment with an Autococker feeding into a tube.

That's why I wanted to know what you guys think.

i think the ric has a more reliable feed rate, since it doesnt wait for a gap in the feed tube like revvies, which i see as a flaw. i think the ric is a harder target to hit and easier to see (aim) around. its also lighter since it only uses 1 9v as opposed to 2. the ric has the cool features (lcd w/ timer, ball counter) and much better customer service.

I saw a H.A.L.O tonight and we tested it against a 12v revy with xboard and octopus paddles. The Halo won every time hands down. Im not sure how much faster it actually is but we loaded the Revy with 140 balls and the Halo with 180 and the Halo was still able to dump the paint a few seconds faster and with no gaps in the flow like with the Revy.

hey i think that the ricochet's suk in my opinion. i have never used one but i have played with and against people who have. from what i have seen nd heard from owners i wouldn't suggest buying one. they do feed fast don't get me wrong but i have seen lots of people fooling with them trying to get the thing to work. after the game i ask them and they say that the thing won't work(spin you know) but they have said that they are fast when they work. anyway i have and love my 12v revy. you just have to be careful not to overload it cuz if you do then it doesn't spin. anyway im getting the halo when it comes out cuz on warpig they said an emag on full auto shooting 16 or 17 balls/sec couldn't outshoot the halo that's impressive but go ith your own instincts

[ihatespyders]

what about the zap hopper has anyone ever tried one of those? there not that popular and instead of a spinny thing it like shakes itself or somthing i dunno later

[VeNoM]

i have never seen a ric not work impymaster. and if one did not work for some reason, the customer service is awesome and they will gladly replace it for you for free. maybe it was just a dead battery? im sure it was something that user did, because i have never seen a ric just not work, i would recommend one (and use one) over a revvy any day. i think BE has terrible customer service, i think the fact that it waits for a gap in the feed tube is flaw.

i have a 12 volt with x board and me and my friend who had a riccosheat conducted a test and his feeds just a lil faster.like half a second

[MINDofSIN]

What type of test did you do?

[VeNoM]

ya i wondered the same thing, maybe one of you just has a faster finger/gun. its hard to keep a consistant rate through draining a hopper . . .

I thought this link might help.

Warpig.com they do a lot of testing.

[MINDofSIN]

I've seen that test before.

[P.A.]

well the ric does load slightly faster, enough to make me want to buy one, but i decided nop to after ive 6 (count em yes six) ric's eat it. wanna know the funny part? i only know 4 people with them. one guy has one and the sensor crapped it pants, to put it technically, and the the other 5 were all from one guy and his 2 daughters. they have four between them all, three (that i saw) had the sensor crap its pants, they sent em back then they bough the 4th which was a speed ball version that one stopped working when it rained and one of the other ones stopped working in the rain too. not to mention their really fricken loud. ya.

they probaby feed about the same but the ric2k is just so ugly that id go with an x-board revy

[FinnMcKool]

Yeah I wanna know about that Zap loader it uses shockwave to shake the balls and instead of only doing it when theres a jam it does it for 1.5secs after every shot. I guess that can have its ups and downs.

[green_kat]

i've seen teh zap loader, it kept up with some guys angel on full auto.

but so can a turbo revy, i think.

at any rate it looks kewl, its new technology. and it works
