this thing is the fastest hopper i have ever seen it even has 3 different't speeds fast, faster, fastest. I didn't know about that when i first got it so the first time i played with it i was only in fast mode and it still kept up like it was no problem and it has rip drive!!!!
Conclusion:

Review:
Well this is the all around best hopper out. The q loader and halo with the v35 board are faster but they both have ther weaknesses. Wen i can shoot 22+bps i will consider a vision system. halos tend to double feed on alot of guns and operate by the eye. The qloader only has a 140 rd capacity and i shoot 100 rds off the break so thats just not gonna work for me. And the q loader is super ugly.
Conclusion:
Buy this hopper its worth the extra 30$ bcus its sound activated and is less torque than that halo

Review:
This is by far the best hopper I have ever used. I cant outshoot this hopper, i dont think anyone can. This hopper is extermely fast. It also has an eye that prevents balls from comming out when the hopper is not on. This makes storage easy. This hopper is also sound activated so after each time your gun fires it will automatically spin.
Kind of expensive, and the lids always break, and oversized feed neck
Review:
This hopper is sound activated so it is so fast of the break, but one weakness is that everyone i know that has this hopper has had one problem with the thing and that is that the hopper lid like peals away and does not stay shut but that does not cost that much money to fix so i feal that this hopper is totally worth the money

Heavy(but not so heavy when you use 4 batteries)
Review:
First of all i would like to say this is the fastest and most reliable hopper on the market. i say this because on speed 3 it can feed an incredible 35 bps. Also the fact that it is sound activated makes all the difference in the world. What i mean by this is on a normal halo b that has eye's when you fir your marker the balls in your feed neck drop and finally the eye picks it up that you are shooting, but by the time the halo actually starts to turn you are already on your, lets say 3rd or 4th shot and the halo is just now beginning to turn. But on the empire for every shoot you take it makes 1 turn instantly so this will help the front men out when they got to take those fast burst strings so they won't chop or it won't slow down there rate of fire.
Now i was scared to buy this hopper because i was wondering if noise out side it would make it try to turn, but no it didn't, the only thing that makes it go off is your marker and if the balls inside your hopper move. but the board won't let it cause a jam even though it is pressing against the balls and you are not shooting.
Conclusion:
you NEED this hopper it will increase your ROF dramatically. i am so Glad i got this loader that i am going the take the internals from my halo b and put new empire internals in it.

Strengths-
The strengths are the rip drive you know that its almost impossible for a human to out shoot it
Sound activated something the Halo Doesn't have atleast I don't think so????
I like its cosmetics I think it looks cool and its sleek design prevents balls from breaking on it.
Weakness-
Price its a big problemfor most people but you get what you pay for Right
The feedneck feels a little to weak for me or it might jus be mine
Conclusion:
If you want the best get this if you can't afford this I would reccomend a Halo B or an Evo 2

Review:
I've only used my reloader B for one day.
I found that popping the lid mid game was insanely easy, and I didn't have a problem with the lid popping loose when doing slides (although I only did feet first slides).
The hopper managed to keep up with extended strings of me walking the trigger. I'd say I was shooting around 13bps. I intentionally made my trigger stiffer to prevent trigger bounce and to *cough* conserve paint.
In an entire day of playing , and about 1700 rounds of paint, there was not one chop.
I would suggest reinforcing your O-ring detents though(if you have them).
As for the weight, using lithium batteries made the Reloader B equal in weight to an Eggy II.
I had absolutely no problems with it misfeeding due to the sound activation.
To give you an idea of how sensitive it is, loading paintballs into the loader causes it to agitate. Tapping the side with your nail sharply causes it to activate. Also people screaming next to me didn't set it off. Anyways if it does go off nothing really happens, the motor tries to spin but senses that the ball stack is already under tension..so it doesn't blend or anything.
Conclusion:
Overall a great hopper. NOt sensitive to paint color , no breaks and no chops. Awesome.

Review:
PROS:
Speed- one of the fastest hoppers out there with the exception of the victory board Halo and the Q-loader(who needs em?).
Ripdrive- allows you to preloadballs, clear jams,and keep in the game when batteries die. Extreamly nice for chronying you marker without turning hopper on.
4 and 6 battery holsters- 4 battery is nice because it takes weight down a bit and uses less batteries. 6 battery is nice if you are up for a long day at the field and dont want to replace those batteries for the day. Also it gives the hopper a little more juice. I'm personally just sticking with the four.
Colors- go good with any gun, yellow, blue, black, and clear.
Durability- reinforced feedneck and just a solidly built hopper (you can thank halo for that)
Profile- very small profile, especially from the front, anything that hits near the top is going to bounce.
Cons:
Weight- The things a whale when it comes to wheight, but no more than an egg when both are filled.
Feedneck- Takes forever to sand down to fit in almost any gun. I had to force it in after sanding it the first couple of times and it cracked the reinforced feedneck.
Maintinence- Takes a day and a half to take apart and put back together (becareful not to break of the button when you do).
Price- A little hard on the wallet but worth every penny.
Conclusion:
Empire souped up a halo to make the best hopper on the market. The pros totaly outweigh the cons. Props to both the people and halo and the people at empire.
-very fast
-rip drive
-sound activated, no eye problems
Weaknesses:
lid broke becuase i got a run that the plastic was heated too high, replaced
Review:
I really like this hopper. It increased my rof by 4 bps on my alias becuase my eyes prevented me from shooting any faster with my old egg. It is made very strong and I dont feel like I am going to break it like I feel when I am putting in my egg. It has an easy led to use. I dont have any problems with double feeds or anything. People who complain about that just dont bother to replace detents and suck at paintball anyways. Get this hopper if you want to be able to shoot 16 + bps.
Conclusion:
I would defintely recommend this hopper to experienced players and especially tourny players.

Weaknesses:
NOT GOOD FOR NEWER ANGELS
My lid broke first day
Review:
This is simply the best loader available. It is not just a halo in a cool shell, it is more then that. Since it is sound activated it will always load when you need to. It does not have eyes, therefore there is no way the eyes can get dirty and cause misfeeds or no feeds. It wont keep rolling your balls out if you guns detents wear down. It is super fast, and unlike the stock halo, if you run out of batteries during a game you can still feed balls using the rip drive. The only thing that some one might not like about this loader (angel owners) is that it is a force feed loader. If you have a angel that uses a "sensi pad" the force of the balls pressing down on it can possible break it. Dual ball detents will also help if you use this loader.
Conclusion:
awesome, better then all others.
giving it a nine becasue of my faulty lid
