How good is the Empire Loader (the 12v look alike) compared to a regular 12v revvy? Which would you reccomend for a 5-15 bps kinda guy ------------- http://img25.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img25&image=mysnowboard9md.jpg">

The sound sensor in the Reloader is much more effecient. I had nothing but trouble with the Revvy shells and the eye. ------------- United States Marine Corps.... When it absolutely, positively, has to be destroyed overnight! Just say NO to junk mods |

I've had good luck with my revvys I got 2 ones over 3-4 years old and
is still working fine. I hear the Reloader is better though.

| I use a reloader, and it works very well, but Ive never used a 12V revvy, so I cant compare. But like everyone else, I hear its better. |

I hear the reloader is better than the revvy because its sound activated. Also all the new revvys are made by brass eagle. ------------- Signatures are **edited** |

new revvys? veiwloader is just a new division of B.E. they made a new division, or changed thier name, so people would buy their stuff not knowing its b.e. or b.s. as i call it. sound activation is much better than eyes in my opinion. it makes more sense, -------------

Revvy lasts longer? Those are the things that break by shaking the gun... And how is it lighter? You said it's the same weight. The sound activation loads a ball with every shot. The eye will only feed if the feed neck is empty. If it's empty, you're screwed. If it feeds whenever a shot is fired, you don't need to worry about an empty feed neck. ------------- Video: http://pbvids.gamesxposed.com/files1/RTP.1116548567.wmv - My Automag RT Pro ::: http://boydsters-pics.mypicgallery.com/ - My Gallery ::: |

Empire reloader. Its less expensive, works better, loads faster, and the shell is good. My buddy has a revvy and I have a reloader, he got a hopper shot and it cracked the shell! Ive been shot in the hopper a few times and nothin happends ------------- 04 Vision SH((0))CKER with << otherstuff>> ♦♠♣☻☺○•♣╒&nb sp; 562;846T╚"‼¼,ÿX>±▲» MacGyver's little NinJa |

| I have an empire. GO WITH EMPIRE. you wont regret it. it wont break like the revvys and it will sense when balls are being fired, cause its sound activated unlike the revvy. i havent had any trouble with it, and ive seen a lot of revvys literally fall apart. unless you want your hopper to be held together by electrical tape, or you want to spend more money ona broken hopper, go with relaoder. it costs less $ too. |

^^No, just Empire!^^ I dont see the point in purchasing a revvy these days, with a lot more sound activated hoppers on the market why would you want a sensor controling your ROF? I purchased a Halo TSA this summer and it works flawlessly.

my halo tsa just came in the mail. i like how the lid closes with magnets, so you dont have to snap it back on. its very strong and sturdy. and best of all they range from $40-$60. i got mine for $41. -------------

revvy.
the reloaders will spin when you dont even fire. you can have somone beside you shooting and your hopper can/will spin blending your paint and the new revvy's are stronger |

Heh. a Strong Revvy... lol (no revvy is strong) I think the Empire is much Better, It Feeds Faster then the Revvy, and about how it will go off when some ones near you, they'd have to be like on top of you, or have some sort of contact to have that Happen, the only thing I dislike about the Empire is how when you get shot in the hopper it will Feed and it may break a ball. -------------

^Really, I'm wondering that also. That's less than I paid for my Reloader. And how can the Empire be faster than the Revolution? They're both gravity fed. The Revvy spins when there is no ball in the feed neck. By then, you're screwed. The Empire will make sure you always have a ball in the feed neck so it always puts a ball in the chamber. ------------- Video: http://pbvids.gamesxposed.com/files1/RTP.1116548567.wmv - My Automag RT Pro ::: http://boydsters-pics.mypicgallery.com/ - My Gallery ::: |

from what my paintball dealer sayed is. this is from his web page "Nov 19th 2003- FINALLY! New 12 Volt Revies in stock...these appear to be of a better plastic! I opened a package, held my breath, and slammed the hopper into the counter, it didn't break. I tried hitting it and prying at the feed necks, and still, no breaks! Looks like they finally fixed the standard in electronic hoppers!" |

The Revvy and Reloader are both good hoppers, but neither one will keep up at 15 BPS , your choice , I 've shot both and would feel good about either sitting on top of a 98C , they work in all but the most intense fighting situations, when I get the adrenaline pumped , and outshoot them . ------------- SL68-II , micro honed and polished .688" bore .
