Review:
I bought this hopper because it was on closeout sale for 30$. I was using a regular hopper on my Black Dragun. I was choppin paint everywhere, This loader made a huge differance. haven't had any problems with it breaking yet. It does feel really fragile though. i had to put duck tape on the feed neck to get it to fit my BD. that was the only problem with it so far. i hope it doesn't break on me.
Conclusion:
this hopper is the best out there. if u need an electronic hopper, get this one. u wont regret it.
Halo B...great till the motor brushes tweaked out, VL 12 volt revy...quieter but not as fast, AGD's Warp feed...faster but not really front player friendly.
Marker Setup:
Toxic Impulse w/out vision,ND low rise universal, Shockteck mini drop w/asa
2K2 Cocker w/tons of stuff done to it
Strengths:
Very fast for a gravity fed hopper, cheaper than a revy.
Weaknesses:
The body seems cheap, I have a early production run model.
Review:
Very good alternitive to a Revy, it's faster and cheaper. Feeds my Toxic Impulse very well even with the low rise feed neck on it. Granted I don't have the fastest trigger finger in the world but it works well for me. Over the chrono I shoot about 9 bps, and maxed it out at 14 with no chopping. The plastic on mine seems cheap and a little rough around the edges. The hole for the low battery light is covered by excess plastic from the molding process. The newer ones my friends have seem better quality than mine,but thats something I can live with.
Conclusion:
If you are in the market for a electronic loader and you don't want to spend alot of money buy a reloader. Yes, there are faster loaders but for the money these babys rock. I got mine for 45.00 dollars at NPS. So unless your shooting a Matrix or other super fast electro you can't go wrong with a reloader!
VL REVY (only 12 volt with x board even compares) halo b halo is faster but heavier and breaks easier.
Marker Setup:
03' vert feed cocker with dead on pro blade drop with on /off 68 ci 4500 psi crossfire fiber wrap tank
Strengths:
very fast, doesnt wait until feed neck is empty to activate
Weaknesses:
little on the heavy side , other than that.. none
Review:
very fast consistant auto adjusting sensitivity works if something is really loud around you the loader stil works. had no problems with it . i used my brother in laws spyder e-99 as a testing bed. his 12 volt revy cant feed balls fast enough to keep the gun from going from full auto 13 bps straight to paintball blendmaster in 2.5 seconds . slapped the empire reloader on it and :BAM: never skipped a shot one full hopper non-stop now if this thing can make a spyder shoot good id buy it ... hehe just kidding spyder owners.
Conclusion:
umm...buy it if you have a 9 volt revy or a regular 12 volt (without x board) dont waste money on halo b or riccochet just buy this one.
Only thing that compares is the egg and the new richoche(cant spell it), and the halo (better)
Marker Setup:
Black BKO
System X Drop Forward
ACI 68/4500 (dye rhino cover)
Emire Reloader
2002 Smart Parts All American Barrel With A Freak Front
Strengths:
Two Words: Sound Activated
Weaknesses:
Not Any Design Just Plain
Review:
Ok for starters this is one of the best hoppers you can get:
*Faster than a richoche
*It is sound activated
*DO NOT GET THE REVVY heres the difference, the viewloaders wait for a misfeed to happen to rotate the thingy, with the reloader it feedes a ball everytime you shoot, this makes misfeeds impossible to happen, so its your choice wait for the problem or not have the problem, if your smart you will get the reloader.
*The price is awsome too, for only 45! same as revvy but much better!!
*Made of tough plastic so it wont break like the revvys
Conclusion:
Get this hopper is the best hopper besides the Halo B, if u thinkin about getting a revvy dont, its like wait for problem or not have one...get this

spyder e-99, empire hopper, new barrell comming soon
Strengths:
very fast, auto shut off, sound activated
Weaknesses:
plastic on hopper seems a little cheap but not that bad
Review:
this is a pretty good hopper, the sound activation is pretty good I have never had a misfeed. it has a battery disconnect if it sits for thirty minutes if you yell loud enough it will automatically load, some people say if someone near you fires it will load but I have not had that happen
Conclusion:
I say buy it is cheaper than a halo not as good of course but i got it for around $45 from 888 paintball
