For those of you who don't read the status updates, I think Mr B has set me a challenge Airsoft_Mr BWhat do you guys think of the Elite Force SL-14? Hope they arrive over here too.

Russe11 I could build something better with a funnel, parts from a high cap mag, a broken hop unit and a cranking handle. It would be easier to use and smaller. But would it be worth the hassle? Today, 05:28 PM · Delete
Russe11 Take a high cap, remove the spring, connect a handle directly to the wheel that pushes the bb's and glue the lower part of a hop unit into the hole at the top so that you can then press your low cap onto the device and turn the handle to load the mag Today, 05:35 PM · Delete
Airsoft_Mr B If you think you could do it I'd say go for it. I don't know if you get a lot of spare time but you seem fairly confident and probably pretty good at making stuff so I think it'd be great to try. Today, 09:20 PM
Russe11 I'm tempted, just to prove it would work, but tbh I have no need for a better speed loader and I have other projects on the go
I have just taken a look at my broken High cap and I think it would take 5 mins to convert it into an uber speed loader.
-Disconnect the spring
-Glue the wheel that pushes the bb's directly to the windy wheel axle
-Drill a hole in the outer casing level with the windy wheel axle
-put the high cap back together
-stick an allen key into the end of the windy wheel axle through the hole
*at this stage the high cap will push bb's up to the outlet nozzle as the allen key is turned with no spring to store the extra turns.
-glue a tube into the top of the high cap and shape the end to form a coupling with the midcap.
The principle is that the high cap will push bb's into the midcap as fast as you turn the allen key. For more speed, you could even use a power drill
All I need is glue (which I can pick up tomorrow) and a plastic tube to form the connection between the mags. Any idea where I could find such a tube?
A broken hop unit or speed loader are 2 ideas I had.
As I am using an MP5 double mag high cap, it will even be possible to put a funnel into the high cap while it's loading a midcap. So you have something better than the Elite Force SL-14 as you cannot fill that easily while using it and it will be the size of 2 MP5 mags, not the size of an MP5. Plus it will work on any mid cap without adapters, you just have to hold the mag on. Thus it would be ideal for a team using different guns.
Am I a genius or can someone tell me where it will go wrong? And does anyone know where I can get a suitable bit of tubing?
