Having worked with the QLoader, I would definitely nor recommend it for
anything paintball related. If you wanted to loan it to a competitor as a
form of psychological warfare, that would be a good use for it.

There are a few spring loaded magazines on the market. The Q-loader is cool but
to big. There is also this

I have a zues pistol that uses a magazine that is spring loaded. Its a simple
tube with spring. Thinking of u
Those are pretty good reasons, all right.

Building reliable paintball feed that fits within the scale confines of a
model is one of the biggest PITA's in the hobby. I for one would advocate
external loaders like the old Kingman 40 rounders IF they were exempt from
hits. Comments?

Since your magazines will only hold 20 paint balls, I think that a
straight tube would work best, using a light-pressure spring, like the
one used in the magazine that comes with the marker, only longer. If
you made a simple socket to receive the tube, then you could reload
quickly using a mod
ers are pretty cheap. Most of all, though, is that I've never used one
before and I wanted to see what they're like :)

Interesting. Have you considered making a 20 ball version of the
spring-loaded magazine? That would keep everything nice and compact.

That was me on the rules proposal. Four size ranges with corresponding
ratings if I recall. I've always seen this hobby as a combat sport which
shouldn't be hampered by scale factors. IMO the as built size ratings was
an elegant solution to the never ending "scale" arguments. Others felt

5000, 110, looks like the same vehicle to me. Congrats on finding a tank

Hi Steve –
Your picture shows a VPX-500, which didn’t make it into production. That’s a
shame because the 5000 is much cooler looking than its older brother, the
VPX-110. I’d prefer to model after the 5000 if the “tank authorities” will
approve for a modest “consideration fee”. Say, some fo
