RSX, the loader sat extremely low and thanks to its sleek
design, made a very low overall profile and a small target.
When the lid was flipped open, I did notice a bit of body
flex at the feed neck – literally the loader will flex if you
push on it – but this hasn’t posed any kind of reliability or
durability problem during testing as of yet. Playing with
a marker set to PSP or NXL or whatever they’re calling
capped ramp these days, no jams or failures to feed were
encountered, while at uncapped ramp I managed to
easily creep towards twenty balls per second. A handful
of paintballs sometimes collected at the front of the
loader during play, but it was never more than a few. I’d
love to tell you about battery life but I’m still using the
first two batteries I installed when I got the loader. So far,
so good.
One of my favorite features of the HK TFX loader isn’t
even a feature installed on the loader at all. The Exo
hard, zippered case the loader came in attracted almost
as much attention amongst players who checked out
the loader as the loader itself. It’s a great way to store
the loader, some extra batteries and a lid or speed feed
that will keep it safe in gear bags surrounded by markers,
marker cases and compressed air bottles while being
rolled, tossed and carried around from one end of the
staging area or the country to another through rental
cars, hotel rooms, airports and TSA checkpoints.
Sleek, light, reliable and consistent, the new HK TFX
loader is impressive. While it isn’t cheap at $200, those
who choose the loader as an alternative to the Rotor, Z2,
Spire or Speed will likely be quite pleased as it offers light
weight, a small profile and a solid, consistent feed rate.
Like I said earlier, the paintball loader business isn’t easy.
But it’s a lot easier when you get it right. • • •
