So I recently bought a Qloader for my A5, installed it, filled up a pod, almost ready to shoot it. Problem, the qloader didn't load the paintballs into the feed tube. I have no idea why and its starting to get very frustrating mainly b/c i dont know why its not feeding them.

Any suggestions as to why?

that's what the manual is for . make sure that there i nothing blocking balls from entering the tube. then try another pod. if its the pods, your doing something wrong. wait for kodiak to come and save the day like this>

EDIT: Well i just tryed anothe pod, and the balls STILL are not feeding and great, a ball broke in the qpod =/
Im kind of getting fed up with this.

Thx 1Shot!

The Qloader takes a bit of patience and time to set up so don't get to frustrated.

Take the Qpod a part and rinse it out with very warm water and let it dry out. It will be ok. Do take the spring motor out before you rinse it out.

So your problem is that you load a Qpod, put it in the loading socket on the A5 and the Qpod does not feed the marker with paintballs.

This is what you do, load up a Qpod and take a pen and aiming the outlet of the Qpod into a plastic bag or a box push in on the end of the Qpod. Does it release the paintballs?

Let me know and we'll go from there.

Have you prewound the pods correctly? I.e., clockwise about 8 turns?

Ill have to try that later. I just got done messing with it some more, and i have SOME good news. I think the main problem is with my one qpod itself, b/c i used another one, and it loaded the balls up the feed tube fine, but im just wondering, b/c it did not continue to feed them. Is this b/c i wasn't actually firing my gun?

To get my Q'ed A-5 ironed out I had to cut the feed tube more then what it was at the factory, and stretch it pretty dang tight. Even then with no air it would still hang on occasion. However with the marker cycling I have been threw cases with no issues at all. If it doesn't feed and you can knock the side of your marker and you see it feed then, it is probably set up well. However of you have feed issues on the field, try again.

I had to go out 3 times before I got all the bugs out of mine, again FOR ME the solution was a very tight feed tube. It is stretched out a good deal and does not have much play at all when you try to move it, I think it is 11 or 12 ribs (can't remember exactly now) stretch all the way out.

Make sure you have extra tubing, as if you go too short.... well you will need more tubing!
