ViewLoader Revolution versus Turbo Rev Operation

This simple (boring) video demonstrates the difference in operation between a Viewloader Revolution aka "Revvy" versus a Turbo Rev. The ViewLoader Revolution is the first loader demonstrated. This model has the old school "pre-BE" shell but with the internals of an X-Board revvy. The Turbo Rev is the second loader, with the old school shell as well. More information on the Turbo Rev can be found at WARPIG.com.

what kind of pods are those? does the black part on the lid cushion the balls or something?

[mxmtl]

@junits15 Those are Syn Shockpods. Back when XSV was first formed, these were the pods that they used. They are cushioned on the lid and also inside at the end of the pod. It makes it faster to load the pods and not deform the paint when packed tight. Not only that, they are made from very thick plastic, thicker than Dye Loc-Lids. I got a set on eBay in 2007. I still use that same set of pods today. One of them finally broke this year after getting bunkered in the pack.

@mxmtl is it still possible to find them now? or are they pretty much nonexistent?

[mxmtl]

@junits15 It's possible. The best place to look would be on paintball forums. Post that you are looking. You should also ask any old pro players from the 10-man tournament days.

so does the revolution and the turbo revolution always keep moveing even when your not shooting?

[mxmtl]

@brickwallben The Revolution keeps moving when it does not detect any paint in front of the eye sensors in the feed neck. The Turbo Rev spins a little bit more even after paint is detected in the feed neck. I think the reason for this is to keep the paint going when you are snap shooting or shooting in bursts.

@CVDiamondbacks I've never been there. Velocity is a lot closer to where I live.

@mxmtl how about total combat paintball in the otay ranch mall

[mxmtl]

@CVDiamondbacks Yes, usually on Pump Day.
