Sacarathe Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Came across this today. What do you think? I'm going to order one from Evike as soon as they get back to me on whether G&G guns have commercial or milspec stock tubes (for magpul stocks). These are a few months old now, can't find much bad about them. Handy note, it loads 12bbs per rotation, so you can still count them in. http://www.odininnovations.com http://www.odininnovations.com/find-a-dealer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightCandle Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Plenty of reviews seem to suggest it works and works pretty well. It sure looks a lot easier way to load than the big ass pump loader that came out last year and kind of sucks as well as being a lot faster than a usual loader. People seem to already be making adapters using 3D printers for other mag types as well so I think its got a bright future and we will probably start to see them a lot.

Supporters TheFull9 Posted February 1, 2016 Supporters Share Posted February 1, 2016 I've owned a few G&G guns and they all have commercial spec stocks What have you used to test? I've got a mil spec magpul MOE on my G&G right here, fits perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters jcheeseright Posted February 1, 2016 Supporters Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'd be amazed if G&G stocks were on-spec for either Civilian or Mil spec, I expect they're G&G spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TheFull9 Posted February 1, 2016 Supporters Share Posted February 1, 2016 Every AEG or GBBr buffer tube I've had (KA, G&P, VFC, Avalon, TM, G&G, CA, KWA) has been either near-enough to mil, or a little smaller than that. Certainly never anything near commercial and as loose as airsoft manufacturing is, it would be really hard to go that far wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacarathe Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Woot, these speedloaders be coming to europe in february! Whether they will be affordable is another matter, these are currently ~£34 on evike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters TheFull9 Posted February 1, 2016 Supporters Share Posted February 1, 2016 Have to say, after using the exact same TM loader from my very first skirmish until now, I do fancy an upgrade. $50 over there will likely mean £50+ over here, but if it's made to a good standard it'll probably do me for a decade or more so it's worth the investment to my mind.

Sacarathe Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 The price I quoted from evike is what I expect them to cost, if imported, post tax. $50 *0.75 (discount), *0.72 (cc) *1.22 (tax/duty). + share of shipping/shipper extortion. I expect you're right about the retail price here. But, you never know. It's one of those items which will appeal to a lot of people, price it too high, and others will see opportunity.

Supporters TheFull9 Posted February 1, 2016 Supporters Share Posted February 1, 2016 I was meaning once they hit UK stores, rather than importing. $ = £ Unless you're talking about something completely different in which case ignore me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters jcheeseright Posted February 7, 2016 Supporters Share Posted February 7, 2016 why? it's a speed loader... surely it'll be good for any kind of game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deebo Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I see absolutley no reason to by this over any other speedloader. You generally cant carry loose ammo in a sim anyway so its useless from that point, as you will be reloading from a base or something where time isnt that big a deal. And in a skirmish, someone will shoot you while you reload probably, even if you save the few spare bbs that get dropped from a normal loader. I just think its waaaaay to expensive for what is just a large speedloader that saves 1 or 2 bbs from getting dropped on the floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters jcheeseright Posted February 7, 2016 Supporters Share Posted February 7, 2016 BBs ending up on the floor isn't an issue for me, being able to load all my magazines in about a minute really is. There's no denying that the new bigger speed loaders are faster than the old '4 BBs per press' kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deebo Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Yeah i suppose it will save on time if you do need to reload in field. I havent needed to do that so i guess im just lucky......or not shooting enough bad guys haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters jcheeseright Posted February 7, 2016 Supporters Share Posted February 7, 2016 Yeah, I don't ever reload mid game, it's more the 5 mins of thumb workout in between games that annoys me. Or at a weekend/milsim game going back to base and having 5 mins before going back out sometimes it's a choice between having a snack and reloading magazines, this eliminates that entirely.

shortman Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Id rather spend 5mins reloading whilst ramming munch in my gob every time i swap the now full mag out and with the money id saved on not buying a posh reloader ill by more food thumb pressing is just part of the game.

Supporters jcheeseright Posted February 7, 2016 Supporters Share Posted February 7, 2016 for the sake of £30 ish I'll probably pick up a posh speed loader... it'll justify it's cost to me almost immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to order one from Evike as soon as they get back to me on whether G&G guns have commercial or milspec stock tubes (for magpul stocks). If you do put in an order for one of these I'd be happy to go halves on shipping/customs if you add one onto the order for me, I expect with the rip-off-britain factor added in importing from the US will still almost certainly work out cheaper than buying one in the UK.
