Great form and function, only minor improvements needed

These are really good pods. I like that they contain more color and it's really easier to open the lid. If it's something you can budget for and track (not lose) then I would suggest them. My only suggestion would be to throw some fabric or foam on the floor so the balls have a soft but cozy shell and don't juggle. Keep in mind that there are about 20 more balls than in a regular capsule of the same size, so it weighs more (about 15%) relative to each ball when running. I've noticed bullets…

Total waste of money

I bought these paintball loaders/pods to use in paintball. They didn't last 4 hours! The latch/button fell off on 4 out of 6 loaders, spilling hundreds of rounds onto the paintball field this weekend in the heat of Hell Survivors Global Conquest Monster Game. Once I dropped cartridges from a capsule into my funnel, but the capsule's latch fell into the funnel and jammed it. I had to exit the field and dismantle it to remove the part. I ended up collecting lost and found capsules and buying some

Pros
  • Lasting test results
Cons
  • Available in black only

Key perfect for outdoor activities

These locks are much better than hk army pods. The button is also recessed so you don't accidentally press it when you take it off your belt. My hk army pods suck for this. They always opened during operation because the button was so delicate and protruding that one could easily hit it or press it accidentally while pulling out the capsule. These don't have this problem. After these latches, you have to really push the button hard for them to open. When you close the lid you wiggle them…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Quality

Needs some work

While these cases are great as "extended ammo" when you reload them, I really can't tell if these cases are really safe when you drop them to let. The tube itself is strong, but the lid's spring hinges feel fragile. When I received my kit, one of the pods already had a snap. I had to put it back. I may have a bad backpack and that's just my experience, but I don't have to press the button too hard to open the lid, which makes me think there might be a time I might drop it. Capsule and lose a…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • I'll write back later

Working, may open if dropped or mishandled

Capsules are great, tube is very strong but unfortunately the same cannot be said of the top cap and closure. I use the Bunker King Pod strapless bag and it compresses these pods very tightly to the point where I have to slide them from top to bottom which wastes valuable time and defeats the advertised "time saving" purpose of the strapless bag. These pods are VERY wide for any pod pack. With time I hope it will get better. However, adjustable strapless backpacks like the Race 2.0 and HK Army…

Pros
  • GOLS certified

  • Some issues
