Empire Reloader II

So here’s the Reloader II review I promised. The differences with the Reloader Hopper are mainly in the body design. The shell is made even stronger so you don’t have to worry about it breaking up. The lid is now magnetized and you get a contained battery door so you won’t loose it. Other than [...]

Empire Reloader Hopper

So that’s from where it all began. You’ve seen how it evolved – first into Reloader II (you’ll get that review next time) then into Reloader B until it becomes the Reloader B2. There’s no point to compare the Reloader B and B2 with the original Reloader as they’re way ahead in their making, but [...]

Empire Reloader B2

It’s pretty obvious that the Empire Reloader B2 is the upgrade for the Reloader B. Not too many has changed, but there are some things I thought you should know about. As a start, the thing is way more sensitive than the regular B, and now you can use it with absolutely any kind of [...]

Empire Reloader B Night Loader

The Reloader B Night Loader is especially designed for those “glow in the dark” paintballs. There is a light inside the hopper that charges up the “glow in the dark” paintballs so that they glow as you shoot them. Its made mainly for people that play night games and like using that kind of paint. [...]

Empire Reloader B

The empire reloader is a very fast feeding hopper using force feed ways.This hopper has a given feed rate of 22+ and absolutely keeps up with it. It’s really an amazing thing to have and if you decide to get it you’ll absolutely love it. The loader is very reliable one. Rarely jams and causes [...]

Empire Magna-Drive

So here’s a loader for you that’s even better than the previously reviewed Draxus Pulse. It’s a little bit more expensive, yes, but if you can spend those extra $30 this should definitely be your choice. It’s a great looking loader…it’s a little on the big side, but has great sleek design and actually manages [...]

DraXxuS Pulse Loader Reviews

We’ll make a huge jump from the super cheap to the super expensive loaders with the review for the Draxus Pulse Loader. The thing is priced around $150 and it’s not something anyone can afford. But for those who can and hesitate whether to buy it or not, keep reading. The common opinion about this [...]

Brass Eagle Pocket Hopper

I know it’s a Brass Eagle, but still I’ll review this thingy. It’s again one of the cheapest hoppers you can find on the market right now and again you get what you pay for. Starting with the good things (yes, there are one or two of them), first of all the Pocket Hopper is [...]

Avalon Spinloader E-tron 130 Round Hopper

Don’t be fooled – the E-tron in the name of this hopper has nothing to do with the fact that it’s electronic or something. The thing is nothing but gravity fed and this is just another company trick of attracting customers. Actually judging by the performance of the Avalon Spinloader E-Tron tricking you is probably [...]

Archon Paintball Tacamo Hopper

Yes, it’s another gravity fed hopper, but this one is a lot better than the previous one reviewed. The price is somewhat the same. You can get the thing for around $5and I don’t know how Archon did it, but their product can’t even be compared to the Allen Paintballs. It’s not that it’s fast, [...]

Allen Paintball 240 Round Hopper

We’re gonna start the hoppers reviews with probably the worst one out there, but anyway you have to know about it so you can avoid it. There’re really not that much good things to be said about the Allen Paintball 240 Round Hopper except maybe that’s capable of holding 240 rounds and that it’s extremely [...]

Empire 08 Ground Pounder Pro Slider Pants

Those are again designed to be worn underneath paintball pants only they cover bigger area of your body. Beside [...]

Empire 2008 Ground Pounder SE Paintball Slide Shorts

empire-2008-ground-pounder-se-paintball-slide-shorts-front.jpg

There’s no place for comparison between those and the JT pair reviewed, but when it comes to real comparison I definitely put Dye and Proto before the Empire (when talking about shorts of course). Yet again those are cheaper so that pretty much levels the scoring. I have to admit that for the price you’re [...]

Dye Men’s Paintball Slider Shorts

It’s only normal after the chest/back protectors we move to the lower body part protective gear. So we’re gonna talk about padded shorts and we’re gonna start with the ultimate ones out there – Dye Slider Shorts. Just like the chest protectors shorts are made to be worn underneath some kind of paintball pants and [...]

Maddog Designz Paintball Gun Chest Protector Vest

maddog-designz-paintball-gun-chest-protector-vest-camo.jpg

That’s the first out of three Maddog Designz chest protectors I’m about to show you. This one is the oldest version of them all, but it’s also the cheapest so I thought it’s worth showing it to you since not everybody can afford the expensive Proto or Empire. So this is one vest like chest [...]

Empire 08 Ground Pounder SE Pro Shirt

The Empire 08 Ground Pounder SE Pro Shirt is not exactly a chest protector. It has some padding on, but it’s designed to be worn extremely underneath a jersey. If you wear it underneath a sweater or something it’s not guaranteed that it’s gonna keep you safe from those nasty upper body hits. It’s [...]

Maddog Designz 2008 Padded Chest Protector

So this is the second Maddog Designz chest protector and as you can see it’s the newest in their family. It’s definitely much better looking than the older one I showed you in the previous review. It’s also much more upgraded than it. This one is lighter and certainly more comfortable. Again it’s “one size [...]

Maddog Designz 2008 Pro Padded Chest Protector

maddog-designz-2008-pro-padded-chest-protector-front.jpg

The last of the three Maddog Designz chest protectors I promised you is again a newcomer. The 2008 Pro Padded Chest Protector is something very different from all the other Maddog Chest protectors. They’ve decided to follow the big names in the paintball industry and turn the old looking “one size fits most” chest protectors [...]

Empire Ground Pounder Chest Protector

This is the first of two Empire Chest protectors I’ll be reviewing so you get to chose which one fits you best. I’m pretty sure I’ve already mentioned that the Empire chest protectors are basically the best ones on the market right now, so if that’s your pick you can be sure you’re making the [...]

Kingman Body Shield Chest Protector

The next chest protector on the line is the Kingman Body Shield. This is one of the cheaper chest protectors costing around $25-$30 depending on the place you’re getting it. If you don’t have the money for Proto or Empire this is a pretty good substitute. It’s a t-shirt like protector and unfortunately unlike the [...]
