    Old Viewloaders are bulletproof...

    Last winter my basement flooded a couple of times. I saved most everything in all night sessions moving stuff around but I forgot where I had my very first two Viewloaders stashed. One is a 9 volt I bought circa 1995 and the 12 volt not long after. Both show signs of having sat in water a while, but of them powered right up and worked. I like the picture of the inside... that's the 9 volt after cleaning. Man I shot a *lot* of paintballs through this hopper to make the wear marks like that. Much more reliable than the cracked up Reloader B that's on the workbench as well, waiting for parts to replace the crummy plastic.

          I've got three sitting on a shelf, they're fantastic hoppers.

          I like my Vmax and Rotor a bit better because they'll keep a ball in the breech when I'm running - I've missed some eliminations when the paint left the feedneck during a mad dash - but otherwise, love 'em.
          And God turned to Gabriel and said: “I shall create a land called Canada of outstanding natural beauty, with majestic mountains soaring with eagles, sparkling lakes abundant with bass and trout, forests full of elk and moose, and rivers stocked with salmon. I shall make the land rich in oil so the inhabitants prosper and call them Canadians, and they shall be praised as the friendliest of all people.”

          “But Lord,” asked Gabriel, “Is this not too generous to these Canadians?”

          And God replied, “Just wait and see the neighbors I shall inflict upon them."

              They were great for what they were imo. Now days I would rather run a gravity, rotor, spire, or pal. That 90s plastic though, as good as the 90s car paint. Everything break easy now, I heard it is due to volume production and the best chemis being outlawed.

                      They're great on open class pumps the few times you use the auto trigger. I bought it for my first gun, a VM-68 and it's fine for that but for a powerfeed Automag I bought the 12v. Used that combination for years too.

                      I was wondering about the old plastic and if the new shell kits were the same?

                          I have a revolution that's pushing at least 30 years old at this point.... Original lid even because it has the remnants of a cartman sticker that was given out in a magazine to promote the first season of South Park.

                          Past that jmj impeller and sunlight board. It keeps up with nxl 10.5
