Hey guys! I have been sifting through the search function for anything in the forum dealing with the q loader but i did not quite find what i was looking for. I have been looking for a while at hoppers all over the web primarily on ansgear.com and sites such as that. I did not find what i was looking for. I like to have a extremely low vertical profile on my gun. I was just wondering if the q loader would be the best thing to go with. My main questions are,

1) Is it worth the money for the q loader system?
2) Does it work as good as everyone claims?

Feel free to give me any recommendations.

from what i hear it give some people pain and others it works great for. so pretty much it depends on who you are and if you have the patience to learn how to work it.

Its not the number of markers you own it is what you have done to make them your own style of marker.

Actually, it's more of whether one understands how the system functions and how to maintain and use it correctly as this system isn't just for anyone. While it does have a very low profile, it is true that patience is needed for it to work properly.

Advantages:
-Extremely fast feed rate
-all mechanical, no batteries
-feeds at any angle
-can be mounted in many variety of ways
-mounts on just about any marker with the right equipment package
-quick and easy swap with just a twist and pull, store and pull another pod and push and twist. You're set in just a few seconds with enough practice.

Disadvantages:
-has to be manually loaded before the game
-limited to 100 rounds per pod
-not easy to clean when paint breaks
-parts are not easy to come by unless you buy in bulk for replacement
-some setups are non-reverse-able (meaning to mount, permanent changes are required while others can be converted back to using hoppers)
-Maintenance is often required (unloaded springs to keep its tensile strength)

Hope this gives you an idea of what you'll be getting into. I had patience to work with it but so far, I haven't had any use for it (though that may change with my SP1 as I'm working on a bullpup setup). I loved how you can shoot it while upside down with a full 100 rounds while hoppers you have to keep tilting it. Weigh the pros and cons and make your decision based on that. Remember, any equipment you decide to delve into, you must have the willingness to learn how it works, how to use it correctly and how to maintain it. Not all equipment is designed to be user-friendly.

Yes you both told me exactly what i wanted to hear thank you very much. It sounded good until i got down to the laundry list of disadvantages, a few of which i didn't really realize. Kinda makes me not want it anymore.

Now im kinda stuck. hmmmm i don't really like the hugeness of most electric hoppers. i used to have a Halo B but it was to big. I guess i am being farrr to picky sorry!

Im so happy i did some deep youtube search and found exactly what im doing im making a "B.U.L.P" loader=) Kinda ghetto but i like that its inexpensive!!!


YouTube - ‪Borg-Tech B.U.L.P. Loader(A-5,X7)part 1‬‏

Check it out tell me your opinions!!!

the bulp is a great way to make a low profile hopper
you just need a pod and a cyclone and then follow waht he has to say
and make mods your self
dosnt have to look pretty just has to do its job!

yeah ill be doing it next week! i will post pics during and after.

Quick question...The rip clip and cyclone feed have interchangeable hoppers right? im going to get a rip clip instead because it has halo internals (my reasoning) and i want the tac cap so i can do the bulp hopper conversion. The tac cap will fit on a rip clip correct? Ive heard it does.......

that will be sweet.

My question was
1) Will taccap fit on a rip clip? cause im using a rip clip instead of a cyclone.
