Empire - Reloader B2 Reviews
Empire Reloader B2 I've had my Reloader b2 for 6-7 years now and I'm still amazed at how well this loader functions even today it works as well as the day I bought it.

Empire Reloader B2 its pretty much a sound driven halo but the mic sucks. No matter what i set it to the hopper would stop working with my spool markers. Might work better with popits but i dont know

Very nice hopper. It is VERY fast, and also has a magnetic lid. Not to mention it's very good durability. Cons are the weight, which is a little on the heavy side but I'm sure you could handle it. It also goes through batteries rather quickly, so make sure you stock up on those. Overall an excellent hopper

Feeds amazingly fast and consistent.
Sturdy construction.
Wide range of aftermarket options if that tickles your fancy.

Overall it's my favourite loader, even moreso than my Z2 and rotor.

The only downfall is it's assembly as it was made prior to the loaders that can be taken apart in seconds.

Cons: breakdown isnt simple
This was my first hopper that I bought. Was extremely reliable and performs extremely well. Very pleased with it. Just got a rotor and will keep this as a backup. The board burnt out when the backplate cracked and water got in but that gave me an excuse to get the magna board . Breakdown isnt very simple but at the time that was how they all were. It has a hybrid shell on it now so it is a little bit easier.

Pros: fast, looks good
Cons: tends to break paint into the breech of metal guns
This is definitely a fast loader, it was one of the only ones fast enough to keep up with all of the electronic guns when they were taking off. The only problem, this hopper threw the paint so hard that it would crack and break paintballs in the loader and especially in the breech of your paintball gun where the fragile paintball is thrown into metal. On a cold day, forget about using this, better off with a shake n bake!

Pros: Same as Empire B
Cons: Not the best upgrade
I love my Empire B. It is able to keep up with my 06 ego and my dm6 with no problems at all. Another huge plus is that it has 3 speed settings so you can run it with just about any marker (the second setting is fast enough i've never had to go to 3 when playing but messed around with it for fun). The one and only bad thing about this hopper is that when you run it on six AA's it can be somewhat heavy, but this honestly doesn't bother me what-so-ever. Great Job Empire!

Recently upgraded the board in my Empire B to a B2, due to Ansgear having a sale on them for $10. Wasn't very impress with the board as it is very similar to the stock Empire B board. In my opinion both feed the same, are just as fast, and just as sensitive. I'm glad it was only a $10 purchase as it's not exactly a "major" upgrade by any means.
