ViewLoader's Vlocity JR

[Kitty]

So after much diliberation, and research on various forums and internet magazines, I decided to purchase what I believed to be the ultimate hopper.

Rated at a bilstering 20 BPS on gun in stock form it is more than capable of keeping up with todays ramping markers.

It Weighs in at a featherlight 385 grams without batteries, has a super low profile and the perfect angled lid for fast spillproof reloading.

The single piece feedneck and raceway are super thick clear polycarbonate. The feedneck also has little ridges built into it to reduce the effects of blowback if you're a victem of such atrocities.

I bought this loader originally to stick on my ULE automag. One thing that I noticed right away was that the feedneck had too large a diameter to fit far enough down in the stock ULE neck for me to be comfertable with (although others on the team have run this way with no problems) I like my stuff to be as low as possible so I cut about a 1/2 inch off the feedneck, sanded down the inside of the ULE neck to fit the hopper better. I would strongly suggest a clamping feedneck although I haven't had a single issue either with the hopper rotating or coming off.

One of the factors I looked at while deciding on a hopper was battery life. I play scenario, and practice at a field with no power, long life is important. I Purchased a set of 150Mah NiMH 9.6v batts and let her rip for a day. I was able to get 5 cases of paint before it started giving me the red light and "chugging"
After that I tried running it on the best alkaline batts I could find, Energizer Titaniums - the hopper wouldn't even turn on. This hopper needs QUALITY batts to run properly.

Once the speedfeeds came out for the Jr I quickly grabbed one up. A few team mates had their doubts about it that where quickly put to rest as I demonstrated how quick, easy and clean it was to use.

Overall I am extremely happy with this hopper and wouldn't trade it for any other hopper out there.

I give it an overall 8.5 out of 10 simply because of the battery issue.
Installing a chip such as the gangster chip greatly improves this factor, so I'll have to update when I install one.

I highly recommend either the Vlocity/V jr, igot my Vlocity when it first came out to replace my old Revvy and it has only messed up when the battery is real low.A new upgrade that kicks ass for the Vlocity and Jr(?) is the STAR chip by FEP.It speeds up the eye only mode a notch!! and the force feed mode goes into sleep mode as soon as you stop firing,and also goes into sleep mode after 15 min. of not using it ,if you can wait that long between shots.CPS paintball had them in stock for about $50 inc. tax.A great hop up for an already great product.VIEWLOADER RULES, HALO DROOLS!!!Oh yeah, the shell and rip drive hanen,t cracked on my Vlocity either, can your hopper say the same?9.0 out of 10 for me as stock.

Yes, I stand corrected ,it is a raceway.I thought the raceway feedneck was way too long,it looked kinda silly sticking out or my ultra low rise feedneck on my Ion/PMR so I decided to cut a whole ball lenght off it .I used a copper pipe/tubing cutter to do this.The plastic is VERY BRITTLE, I wouldn,t recommend this unless your are REALLY SURE you want to try it,if you are careful and slow yuo shouldn't have a problem.Parts were hard to come by at first(Shadowhawk got his lid shot off,took him months to get a replacement) so if you ruin the raceway you may be SOL for a while.Like you speed feed Kitty, were did you get it?Great forom BTW, we should have one for our team also,we tend to use Myspace for this stuff.See you guys at Travis?we are bringing 7 guys, playing on Left for dead(?)

I too did cut the feedneck down about 3/5ths of an inch - the way it sits now in my mini is perfect, the hopper never goes above he top of my head.
THere were concerns about the feedneck being brittle or breakable.
let's just say, superman diving into a haybail and havin the hopper FLY out of a CLAMPED feedneck (without breakin) and repeatedlythrowing my marker around with the hopper attatched... it hasn't cracked yet.

You can get te speedfeeds or the Jr and Sr at Foothill Paintball
Thomas "Big Scott" will be manning the booth at Travis so stp buy there to pic one up
a note: some folks are expecting rain.. speedfeeds + rain = NO FUN at all.
