Loader

[Farsight]

What is the lightest, most effective motorized loader? How much does it weigh and what is its bps?

[FISHY]

i guess the ricochet.... its prolly like 1 pound empty with a battery in it can go like 13 at most

[IromKnight]

My ricoAK rules. I'm guessing it's lighter than the 2k because it doesn't have the ball counter and game timer electronics.

[i like tictacs]

rics cant do 13 pal

[willybob]

Don't be a wussy. Buy a halo-b and suck up the extra .5 lbs! 22 BPS baby.... I think tic tacs will agree, after hearing about his recent purhase of one (frogpb, this is furby)

[Calebd2]

Get the good ol viewloader for 5 bucks! jk rics are prob the best. I have a vl 12volt tho with xboard, lol i only had to pay 5 bucks for it cus i orderd a regular viewloader from a website for 5 bucks and they messed up the order and sent me the vl12. So im not going to complain

u lucky *******, i had to earn mine

[Calebd2]

I no im lucky, I am very thankful for it. I also have to earn all my stuff, but i got a break on that

[Farsight]

How much lighter is the ricoAK as opposed to the 2k? And this is still lighter than the rev?

[tonysk83]

you are really weak...if a loader ways you down, well i have nothing to say, get a 12v revvy, they are fine, always feed, never break down, or get a halo b if you have the money

[PolicarStudios]

If the hopper is weighing you down I have some other suggestions, get a drop forward and a foregrip or suck it up, because that tiny bit of weight really shouldn't matter too much.

The halo b is far and away the best hopper out there, also the heaviest. If you shoot in excess of 12bps regularly, you'll want one. Otherwise a revvy should do fine...I don't need anything more than a 12v for my cocker, but if I had an electro I'd go halo b.

[PolicarStudios]

Oh yeah it's 22bps and unlike other hoppers' claims....I believe it.

[elTwitcho]

The Evlution 2 will feed as fast as is practically necessary by even the fastest fingered people (17 bps consistently), weighs much less than the HALO B does and doesn't have a problem with breaking paint in the breech. Definately something worth keeping in mind, though the weight gets shifted back a little

[Flanders]

yes...but the thing is a lemmon..literaly..it's shaped like a lemon with one of theose juice taps that u stick in..i meen jebus...it's an egg

[Congobongo]

evolution 2's look kinda ugly the way its positioned though

[elTwitcho]

And I suppose the Rico's look sexy now? :P

The looks are a bit weird, it's grown on me, but to each his own. I'd just recomend everyone remember it as an option

[PolicarStudios]

Ricochet are ugly....just gross looking in my opinion.

Revvys look okay.

Halo Bs look really cool. (The clear ones, the black looks bloated and weird but still okay.)

Hoppers just aren't too pretty in the first place.

[IromKnight]

Ricos look cool
HALOs look like toilets
I don't like 12v but that more performance and customer service than looks.

[ImpYa]

The Evlution 2 is the best hopper in my opinion. My friend couldn't out shoot it with his Trix and he is known at my field to have a fast trigger finger.

I put 3 cases threw it so far and it hasn't broken one ball...i even tried slightly swelled paint and it worked just fine.

As for looks i thought it was ugly at first, but now i like the looks better than anything else(i cant believe it grew on me).

Actually i have had a few ricochets out on the field with it. Finally, the lid is one thing that it has on the HALO. When you open it, the lid creates a funnel and you spill no paint at all.

I say the eVL2 is the best hopper for the money right now, but get what is best for you and your gun.

[death]

why the hell would he get a halo if the weight of a hopper kept him down?! he wouldn't have enough paint to make the halo useful.

gah.... i don't think the weight of the hopper should affect your play... suck it up!

btw, i'd go revvy.

Never jams, cheap, very light, customizable capacity (length) & feed rate (spring tension), you could even make one yourself. I'm not sure what the bps is, but I'm sure you could get it way up there.

[Farsight]

Well it seems that a lot of you have lost my point. Ball feeding is not the most important feature of the loader that I am seeking (although it is still very important). I also know that the Halo B is the fastest and most reliable loader out there; I know this is because I own one. What my goal is to make one of the lightest, best snap shooting marker using the Dye Ultralight Autococker. From what most of you are saying, the rico is the best loader while not weighing as much as the Halo. So now that that is settled, what about a tank? Which Nitro tank will work well with out sending the weight of the marker soaring?

P.S Thank you to those of you who actually posted a thoughtful and coherent reply with out resorting to "just suck it up and get a Halo".

[PolicarStudios]

A halo with batteries weighs nearly twice as much as a revvy with batteries. So 12v revvy is my recommendation if you have a cocker, mag, or slow electro (like a shocker, since it has no blowback and like 11bps capped ROF.....but I am probably REALLY wrong on that one). The egg thing looks cool but i dunno.

And ricochets are ugly but I hear they're okay. I'd never buy one, but they are probably pretty light.

a) get a 47 ci tank.
b) use Co2
c) look for a "stubby" tank. (i believe cross fire makes a 68/45 stubby. looks smaller than a 47 ci)

[Jaster]

Crossfire does make a stubby. Keep in mind they are steel. Steel weighs a hell of a lot more then fiber. I would have to say get a 47ci fiber. Maybe a 68/3k. That's what I have on my Timmy and it doesn't seem to add that much weight to the marker.

[Rebel32flanker]

Why do you need a light loader? I have a mag that weighs a ton and a Steal nitro tank that weighs a ton and i wear a pod pack that weighs a ton, but it doesn't bother me and I am 5' 4" tall and 130lbs. So I think you shouln't wine about your loader being heavy! Boo Fooking HOO!:bawling:

dude if you read the post u would know that he is making a good snap shooting gun...and for that yeah it matters a little bit. So dont just blow up on someone unless you know the facts...

[the_big_wazzoo]

try a 45/45 n2 tank. i heard those were pretty stubby and light. and good choice with the ric. get the ak, it only costs like 56$ and has a little window on the side of the hopper to see how many balls you have left. also it has a 6 paddle flexible plastic impeller (i think) just like the evo-2. and it feeds just as fast as the revvy, but probably more consistant because of the 6 paddled impeller.
