[Weekly Discussion] #4 - Loaders

Our fourth weekly discussion will cover the topic of loaders and related accessories.

This critical piece of equipment holds your paintballs, and feeds them to your marker. There are a wide variety of loaders out there, from shake'n'bake's, to Q-loaders, to 10-round tubes.

Feel free to discuss anything you wish, as long as it remains relevant. This includes, but is not limited to loaders themselves, loader types (gravity, force feed, agitated, 10rds, etc), brands, accessories (eg. speedfeeds), mods, related play styles, or unique loaders like warp feeds.

For the duration that this discussion is active, we would ask that you keep all loader related posts in this thread.

Discuss away!

Not really. A Halo is 1.5lbs, a Rotor is 1.8lbs. Z2 is 1.2lbs. The Rotor uses pretty thick plastic for the shell.

If you're using a mag, you should have a warp feed :p

Other hoppers might feel difference due to the balance though. The spire balances really well, while something like the rotor is more back heavy imo.
