Tippmann M98C
J&J Ceramic barrel
Pure Energy tank
Empire reloader hopper
Era Tactical Stock
VL Additubes Ball Hauler
Tippmann Inline Expansion Chamber
Strengths:
-Quiet
-Holds lots of paint
-Only makes noise when firing
Weaknesses:
None that i've seen.
Review:
Overall, a very good hopper for the price. It's almost impossible to shoot faster than this thing can feed. The lid is clear so you can see how many paintballs you have left without having to open it in the middle of the battle. Another plus in the fact that if your batteries run out, it can still be used as a gravity fed hopper. To top it all off, it only costs about $45.
Conclusion:
If you are just starting out, this is a good option for you because it is so cost effective.

I got mine for $40 used. So far I realy like it, I have never out shot it with my Mag of a Cocker. If you have a really high end Electro I would say you need something much faster. Overall, it does what it is supposed to do, it feed at a max 12.2 BPS I think.
-spyder compact(upgraded)
-32degree electronic frame ,semi-auto,auto,burst,reactive modes (all set at 8-12bps)
-new velocity spring
-gas thru grip with bottom line
Strengths:
Feeds faster than gravity hopper
Weaknesses:
Didn't always react to shots (propeler spun about half of the shots)
Review:
The reloader is sound activated. My gun does not have vertical feed, maby that has somehting to with the loudness of the shots to the hopper and why it did not react to all the shots. The hopper could not keep up with my semi-auto mode or any of the other modes
Conclusion:
this hopper might work better if you have a vertical feeding marker
-I am rating it 4 only because it works consideralbly better than a gravity feeding hopper
Aggressor XT, 1 peice all american barrel, esp ipi 3.0 frame and board, java x chamber, some assualt block, shocktec supa fly bolt,
Strengths:
fast
cheap
can take a beating
hasnt broke on me yet
Weaknesses:
when i try to take out my batteries it bends the edges of the batteries
Review:
yeah there is a slight problem with the battery door but who doesn't have a problem ? the reloader is a fast hopper because i stuck it on my friends impulse and it kept up real well and it cost less that most like rico, revvy, and egg but goes just as fast. the plastic feels a little breakable but the reloaders been shot there a couple times and it hasn't cracked or broken yet. the speed of the reloader is like 15 bps thats like 4 more bps that a revvy and rico...2 short of the egg but almost the same....
Conclusion:
if u need a good hopper and dont have the cash for a rico or egg get this.....dont get a revvy they say they go just as fast but they dont they only go as fast when ur dry firing and breaking balls....the little eye in the revvy just sucks and it always feed the balls late so it would chop....but the reloader doesnt wait for a gap in the feed neck because its sound activated (well i would say its more vibration activated because if u scream into the reloader it doesnt spin all the time) for all u people reading this review i say get the reloader because revvys tend to slow u down and eggs and rico are expensive if u dont have the cash.

The empire reloader is a great choice for an agitated hopper. It feeds a [b]very[/b] consistent 12-13 bps. I love the sound activation feature of it. As soon as you shoot, the motor spins to feed a ball. I haven't chopped a single ball since I got the reloader. I also like the battery saving feature of it. If you leave it on and it stays inactive for a half hour, it automaticaly turns it's self off! I know that feature has save me money on batteries. The other thing I like about it is it was cheap! I got mine for $44 from 888paintball.
Conclusion:
I'd recommend this to anyone that is loking for an agitated hopper. There are other hoppers that promise the same thing, but cannot compete with the cheap price of this one! If you are in the market for a loader, by al means [b]Get an empire reloader[/b]
view loader 12v w/x board, ricochet ak, only tested. i broak the necks off both.
Marker Setup:
spyder imagine, empire reloader, 32* night stick, z drop forward
Strengths:
sound activated, keeps up with me, stronger plastic,
Weaknesses:
not advertised enough
Review:
I used to have a view loader 12V and it worked ok, but it would sometimes it would skip a ball and the neck broke off. then i used my friends ricochet ak, and broke the neck off that.(he was pissed) it was a old loader so i thought thats why it broke. i was originally going to buy 1, but a store owner told me they had allot of problems with that happening. so i bought this. im SO glad i did i shot a few balls through it and worked well. then i really let i rip and it didn't skip once. the fact its sound activated is a big plus, because it keeps up with the gun not the balls.
Conclusion:
the empire reloader is the best. if you don't want to pay over $100 for a halo b you should get this. its only $44.99
Dragun T.E.S. sniper, Empire reloader, Jam bolt, 68 cu Bulldog tank, Freak barrel kit
Strengths:
-Speed
-Never misfeeds
-30 minute auto turnoff
Weaknesses:
-Crappy Shells
Review:
This loader never has a misfeed like the revolution can sometimes have. Everytime the gun fires it agitates causing faster feed rate. This hoppers shells havn't needed to be sanded down when i used it on my Dragun or spyder. The only bad thing is the shells feel like cheap plastic.
Conclusion:
This is one of the best hoppers for the price. It won't keep up with an e-blade or Angel but if you're going to spend $1200 on an Angel then you would spend the extra $40 on a Halo B

System-X Reg
Palmer's Rock
Orracle 3-way
STO Ram
Empire Reloader
68/3000 HPA
Strengths:
3rd fastest electric hopper, 2nd fastest agitated hopper
Weaknesses:
Not the fastest hopper in the world
Review:
Honestly, I would not have one of these sweet hoppers if it weren't for the jerk who stole my Revvy. This thing is so much quieter than a Revvy, and it can feed like 4 bps faster. This baby is perfect on my mech cocker ... I love it dearly. It may not be the fastest there is, but it sure can compete with the fastest and pretty good too.
Conclusion:
Get this hopper. I can say this may be the last hopper you will ever need. Most guns have the ability to outshoot one of these, but honestly, how many people can shoot faster than 16 bps? Not many ... but if you can then go ahead and buy a better hopper, if not, BUY THIS!! SAME PRICE AS A REVVY AND FASTER.

Review:
when i first got this hopper i got some friends over to go paintbaling. and it just feed soo fast got no chops, keeps up with my gun perfectly. it also doesn't dran batteries that fast. i love this hopper couldn't have anything better. i highly recommend u to get this hopper, it will load every time u fire so u won't have any brakeage. i never had any problems with it. GREAT HOPPER, ITS A MUST HAVE.
Conclusion:
when u buy this hopper ull be happy about what u got, alot better than the revvy.
loads fast(agitates on each shot)
long battery life
never misfeeds
Weaknesses:
cheap plastic
Review:
well this is a great hopper, i got mine cheaper then they sell the 12v revvies; about $50
i can really only pull about 13bps max anyway, but i would recomend this to anyone who wants to get away from gravity feed hopper and has the bucks to pass up the cheap old quantum loader... i would have given this a 10 but im rather disappointed at the breaking of the plastic, the newer 12vs are made of some different plastic thats way more durable then all other hoppers...
Conclusion:
hopper = dependable and fast, buy this or 12v w/ x-board unless you need more then about 14bps
