VLocity - good or not?

[Rupe]

Ok well yesterday i had problems with a reloader, jams, not feeding etc well was just wondering whether the VLocity was any good now its been out a while and people have had time to use it.
Main things i want to know is:
1. Does it feed as fast as it says?
2. What batteries does it use?
4. Does it have the same sort of battery holder problem as the egg?
5. Any other problems with it?
6. Is it heaver than the reloader?
7. Is it a much bigger profile?
8. Is it generaly better than the reloader?

Owned both Reloader b and Halo with V35 and now VLocity. I used it yesterday without any problems at UKM.

1 Yes...8 speed setings with anti jam mode
2 2 x 9 volts
3 ?
4 Just like the Reloder B battery door (screw) and a foam insert to pack it out.
5 Put too much paint in it and it will lock up....have to tip some out.
6 lighter than both Halo and Empire.
7 Once you cut the neck down, a bit taller and slightly thinner.
8 so far Yes in my opinion.

Hope it helps

I use my vlocity over my reloader too... All it really needs is a rip drive kit, just incase the batts go flat...

Am i right in saying it will be imposible to fit a rip drive to it as there is no spring stack? and thats is also the reason it munches batterys, because it always has the motor keeping the stack on the paint?

Well i had a little play with one yesterday and i must say i am impressed, not sure if it is as fast as they say it is but it was easily keeping up with my ego and im pretty sure it was on a slower seting.
