Viewloader has just announced it is discontinuing the venerable 12vt Revolution, the classic electric loader. While still a great loader, it was starting to show its age in today’s world of faster and faster rates of fire. However, Viewloader have a new contender stepping into the ring.
The Revolution Force and Eye-Force, priced $29.99-74.99, will be the new generation of Viewloader feeding markers in the entry to midlevel range. The new shell shape will be much easier to wipe clean between games and moves the paintballs down to a carousel much like their high end Vlocity loaders. The Force is a continous feed (turn it on and it stays running) with a flexible paddle pushing paint down the feedneck. The Eye-Force utilizes a breakbeam eye system to engage the motor and features a three bladed spring loaded catchcup (again, similar to the high end Vlocity). This pushes the paintballs forward to the breech and keeps them under tension for fast smooth operation.
The Force and Eye-Force will be shipping soon, and deserves a good look from budget-minded players who need a lot of speed for not a lot of money.

If you’re reading this, then you’re probably a paintball player. So am I, going on 20 years now. Ever since my first game in 1987, I have been involved in this crazy sport of ours as a player, marker tech, player, referee, player, salesperson, player, store manager, player, buyer for Paintball-Online.com, and a player. Why do I mention being a player so many times? Because that's what makes me qualified for the job that I do in choosing the products that we sell. I love my job and get to see, test and experience all the cool new toys, trends and changes. This paintball blog is to give you a view into the huge and crazy world that is paintball - in all its forms.
