Review on MetalTac Airsoft Speed Loader With Capacity Of 100 Bbs by Keith Stuckey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If you play airsoft, you NEED this.

This is a great product. If you don't know how it works, it is like a spring loaded syringe for loading BBs into an airsoft gun magazine. You fill the reservoir with BBs, line up the hole on the bottom of the loader with the hole in your magazine and push the plunger down. Usually 4 or 5 BBs are loaded for every push. I fill 25-round pistol magazines in about 2 seconds, instead of pushing 25 BBs in one-by-one.When you are done loading, turn the loader upside-down so the BBs fall to the top of the loader, push the plunger in and push the lock button to lock the plunger inside the loader so it doesn't get broken off during play.You can find speed loaders that hold more BBs but these 90 - 120 round loaders are the perfect size for carrying in pistol magazine pouches.I ordered 15 of these for myself and some friends. Including the shipping cost, they ended up costing $1.90 each. They are $5 at a local sporting goods store and that is the best price I've found them for other than here.I would also like to comment on a few things I have read in other reviews here to try to help clear up some misconceptions.* There are many comment about these being cheap plastic. That is true, but I own several other brands of these speed loaders and they are all just as cheaply made. These are not any more cheaply made than any other speed loader you will find. I have been using these speed loaders for almost a year now and none of mine have broken.* You will see these speed loaders advertised as 120 or 90 round speed loaders. 120 and 90 round speed loaders are the same size and hold the same number of BBs. The last marking on the speed loader is the 90 BB marker line, but if you fill the loader to the top it holds about 120 BBs.* They are designed to be used with pretty much any airsoft magazine (rifle, pistol, shotgun, etc.). It may be easier to line up the loaders hole with some magazines, but with just using it for a little while you will be able to fill pretty much any magazine without losing BBs. I used my loader for loading 25-round pistol magazines for 8 months before I bought a shotgun. The shotgun magazine lines up easier but I do the pistol magazines in seconds with not problem and no lost BBs.

Pros
  • With its easy-to-grip handle and smooth-loading mechanism, the MetalTac Airsoft Speed Loader is a joy to use, even during long gaming sessions
Cons
  • Metal construction can sometimes dent bb cartridges
