The loader must be disassembled to install
those batteries, but this leads also to an
impressive feature of the CTRL – how simple
it is to disassemble to its main components
for battery installation or cleaning. Securely
snapping together at the front and back, the
upper and lower shell components hold the
Raceway and tray with its electronics and
feed system securely in place with the help
of magnets, and pulling the loader apart and
putting it back together take about the same
amount of time as reading this sentence (yes
I tried it). consistently all the way down to the last few
balls, as on one or two occasions without them
I found myself needing to take a split second to
rock the loader to get that last handful of paint
to the feed tray. During testing on a positively
nasty early Spring day with misty rain falling,
chilly temperatures in the forties and some
paint that could best be described as “not so
great” the loader did not jam or otherwise
malfunction, keeping an Empire Syx, an Eclipse
CS2, a GMek and an Inception Autococker well-
fed and shooting without breaking or chopping
a single ball.
Once on a marker, the CTRL absolutely lived
up to its marketing as a balanced loader, as its
light weight and low profile absolutely made
for a nimble, comfortable platform on various
paintball guns both mechanical and electronic.
The single button made switching the loader
on and off quick and easy. Markers were easily
able to clear 10 balls per second and climb into
the teens without skipping or slowing down,
and long streams to hold lanes remained
consistent. I absolutely recommend upgrading
the loader with the optional front and rear
spring ramps to help the loader feed paint Light, small, balanced, well-built, easy to
maintain and attractive, Bunkerkings’ new
CTRL loader is an impressive piece of tech that
does its job well and lives up to its promises.
While its price might keep some away, those
looking for a high-end loader that will handle
its business inside the net should add the CTRL
to the list for serious consideration.
