Please tell me which loader is the best out of the 5 below. In case you don't know, all five are around 50 bucks. I don't want to spend more than that.

1)Viewloader Quantum E-Feed Loader

2)Revolution Loader w/X-Board Installed, Black

3)HALO TSA Backman, Black, LED

4)HALO TSA Frontman, Black, LED
http://www.countypaintball.com/product_description.asp?item= 3023

5)Empire Reloader, Black
http://www.countypaintball.com/product_description.asp?item= 2608

First off, what's the difference between the Halo Frontman and Backman? And if there are any other loaders at the same price range, please tell about them.
Thanks.

The only difference between the frontman and the backman is the capacity of paintballs it holds 180(front) 220(back). Every loader listed is pretty good, except the quantum (it only feeds around 5-7bps).

I bought a frontman about 2 months ago and have no complaints.

1- crap
2- ok, only 12-10 bps
3- very good, 220 capacity
4- very good, 150 capacity
5- very good, most would say Halo's are better than the Empire though.

Ok. I have to decide between 2,3,4, and 5 then. I don't really need it loading faster than 10-12. I have a mechanical trigger in my Tippmann 98 Custom(Hence the screen name). Would the Revvy be fast enough for the r/t? I'm going to make some other questions pertaining to these.(2345)

-How do the feed necks fit into the 98 Custom's elbow?
-How is the customer service for each manufactuer?
-The Halo TSA's are not force fed. The article on Warpig.com says that they feed as fast as gravity will pull. So what is the advantage over my stock hopper?
-Which is the sturdiest?

Thanks.

May i suggest getting an Evolution 2 from countypaintball or 888paintball. The Evolution 2 is a fast realiable hopper for a low price.

Tippmann Effect... The Evolution II's are 85 bucks. That's way out of my price range for now. If I ever get an AutoCocker, I'll probably invest in that also. But for now, I'm limited to a mechanical 98 Custom.

I read that the battery doors on the Emmpire Reloader break way too often. I'm going to cross that off my list. I think the two I going to consider now are #'s 2 and 4. -The 12v Revvy and Halo TSA Frontman. I decided the Frontman will make(or force) me to conserve paintballs so I'm crossing the Backman off the list. I don't like shooting an entire case in a day. I usually shoot 1000 rounds per day. Between the two left, what is best? They are +10- of each other. Please tell which is sturdier, which is fastest, and what gets the best battery life. Also, I use the Zap Rec series paintballs. Electric hoppers won't break those will they? If there are any other important factors, please tell of them.

EDIT: Also talk about the reliability.

2nd EDIT: I'm having second thought about the Empire Reloader. Include that in when you talk about the other two. Thanks.

Thanks.

My frontman keeps up fine with the response trigger. I personally suggest the Halo over the Revvy. You could get away with just using the Revvy but it wont keep up with the R/T as good as the Halo. The Halo is not force fed , but it is Tilt & Sound activated!

With the Halo being faster, Tilt & Sound activated , and a smaller profile I think an extra $10 bucks is worth it!

I've been reading about the Halo TSA and Empire Reloader for the past two hours. Everyone that has used an Empire has also use a 12v Revvy. They say it is so much better than the Revvy. I've heard a lot of things about the shell breaking on the Revvy also. That one is permanently off my list.

The only two left are the Empire Reloader and the Halo TSA LED Frontman. I'm not sure I like the shape of the Halo very much. For it only holding 140 balls, it seems to be very large despite the fact that it is low profile. The Backman is even larger. I like how the motor and stuff comes far down, almost as far as the elbow comes down. It looks good like that in my opinion.

If anyone has used the Empire Reloader alongside the Tippmann 98 Custom, how does it fit in the elbow? How long do the batteries last? How reliable is one? Unless I get very negative comments about this, I believe I'm going to purchase it here.

Thank you for all of your help.

12 V revy, bout it just recntly and i am very pleased, i shoot just a regular mech gun to and it is perfect for it, but evo II, or halo B when you get a high end electro, i dotn feel you dont need a loader like that for a marker that cant exceed 10 bps

I already bought the Empire Reloader for 43 bucks. too bad I decided to sell my gun now. I'm going with the A5. I'm planning on selling my gun on eBay for around 500-600 bucks.
