Smallest forcefeed loader

[Axel]

Like the title says. What's out there these days?

Jordan had to post a link to Fatty Stabilizers and that piqued an urge to finish this micro mech Ion build of mine back in the day onto which I intended to slap a desert dt1 mechanical forcefeed loader (and that should tell you how old this thing is lol), but as that project never really came to fruition I need an alternative

Didn't someone print shells for the Halo Too awhile ago?

There's the Shoe loader which uses Rotor internals, then there's the Pico which uses Halo internals. I've not heard great things about the Pico, but I was gifted a Shoe and it works well for the rare times I use a hopper.

Shoe loader: You can get the .stl file for the body and then source a rotor for the guts. I have had one for about seven years and love it. They are not the lightest, but they do use rotor guts, so that should be expected. I do not like the speed feed; it makes it more difficult to reload, in my opinion, because the volume has to be low enough to empty a pod, which ends up being real close to empty.

I have been interested in experimenting with printing one in Nylon with thinner walls, but so many projects, so little time.

There's the option of rigging a spring pheed, like the ones for phantoms. If you can find or make one.

I have a 3d printed loader that uses rotor guts that pretty small.

Besides the ones mentioned. Xennocide released his mini hopper using rotor internals.

Thanks for the callout BubbleHead87
This is the 60 round variant of my rotor loader. The upper is modular and I have about 5 capacity sizes.
Rotor disassembly is toolless.

I definitely need that clear button. Lol always had a hard time figure out if it was on or not 😂

This is adorable af and i need to know more

[Xennocide]

I'll send you one

I see all these suggestions for 3D-printed stuff, which is probably what you want. But if you want a traditional loader straight from the factory the HK Sonic loader is probably the smallest & best bet. Only holds 170-175rds, runs on one 9v battery, only a tad heavier than a Revolution when empty but definitely lighter when comparing both when loaded. It's agitated, but keeps up easily with NXL ramp. Front drive cone, so it's not backheavy. Also won't break the bank. I posted a big review in the review section with more details.

That's about the same capacity as my Valken VSL. It works very well as a pump hopper due to its low profile and light weight. Even though I own a 3D printer, it's the one reason why I never bothered to print a shoe loader.

I've got a pico loader with the halo internals I can bring to the cold ass game if you want to check it out. It's the early molded one, not ,3d printed.
