I got it from Ben Terrel aka Bent Arrow. It was the one he used, so he gave it to me for about 70 bucks. Its real easy to use too. Should make our paintball outtings a little bit safer I suppose. Not that I was really too worried. I wasn't up their to buy a chrono, we just got on the subject of them, and he offered me a deal. 5 hours and 24 minutes later I went home.  |

How about someone go out and buy a Q-loader so the rest of us can see how they work! I don't want to be the first to buy one and it end up being one big TURD.
Maybe one of you Paoli boys have one? I'd sure like to know if their worth it or not. All the adds sound good!

Just buy that thing Jason!!!! I think the only real issues will be the actual loading itself, and it probably won't be as bad as we all think it would be!
DO IT!!

You and I have spent enough, I'm tired of trying to 1-up you, it can't be done!
So you buy the damn thing. You can put it on one of your 6 guns (marker if your a fag).

i thought they came with extra tubes and you just changed them when you had to reload? no one has one that plays with us so i really don't know. the only advantage i can see in having one is you have a better view and hell most of the time i don't know what i'm shooting at anyway. i use the spay and pray method, ask anyone who plays down here ... i go through the paint. my a5 is shooting 19 to 20 per second and the ion is set on 25 or 26 per second i don't remember.

Jason, I thought I was losing the battle!
Derrick, yeah you can buy a few different packages that come with a number of different pod/clips, but from what I've read on pbreview, the initial loading of the pod/clips can be a pain.
Spending the paint is getting all too easy anymore isn't it lol I think we all need to go back to 12.gram pumps!

i might add that you and "slowdraw" would probably get along on that subject though. alot of times he shoots you and you don't even know where it comes from [ POP 1 shot right to the lens]. i think he said something about being a scout sniper when he was in the millitary.

cool, slow draw is the man! I've always been a firm believer in that playing with pumps makes you an all around better player with semi's and auto's as well. I'd kinda been playing with the idea of buying a tippmann c3, but I'm trying to dwindle my paintball armory DOWN, not build it back up.

Q loaders are tricky to setup.I ran with one for awhile on one of my A5's.trick is getting a working spring tension.My kit came with 2 pods,and the reloader.The ears on the pods are fragile,so one must be careful not to snap them when reloading.Once you get the feel for a q loader,they are a blast.

It sounds less and less like an advantage and more and more like a pain in the ass.
I think i'll stick with a more traditional hopper and spend my money else where.

Thats kinda how I'm feeling too Jason, though you can't help but they they're cool after watching the videos on the Qloader website.

what kind of chrono is it by the way? i have a hand held but it takes a while to get everyone chronoed because you have to reset it everytime. i was thinking about selling it and getting a different kind.
