Switch Lid, as well as paintball capacity extenders that increase the loader’s max capacity by 50 paintballs (105 if you are shooting .50 caliber balls). And speaking of ball capacity, the Valken VSL holds roughly 185 .68 caliber balls in its standard configuration and 200 with no loader floor. The extender will increase its capacity to approximately 235 paintballs (with floor). If you are shooting .50 caliber paintballs those numbers increase to roughly 485 in standard configuration, 520 with no floor and 625 with the extender (no floor). The VSL also features one-button operation and a quick-release shell for fast, tool- less disassembly. Cleaning and general maintenance are nearly effortless with the VSL’s easy disassembly. The VSL’s pulsing motor is gentle on fragile paint, so you can shoot paint that breaks on target, not in the loader. Finally, the Valken VSL Loader is powered by three AAA batteries (not included with purchase). So head to your local paintball store or field and give the Valken VSL Loader an in-person look. It will be worth the trip. For more on Valken’s complete product line head over to www.Valken.com.
