Umarex Universal Steel BB Speedloader

Nothing

Make one that works!

Umarex has some great products but this isn’t one of them! I could not press hard enough to get it to eject bbs. I could put 2 or 3 bbs in and they would eject with no problem so there was a jam in the feed ramp somewhere when it was filled. I threw mine in the trash, it’s not worth requesting a refund or sending back a $10 item. Pyramyd should drop this product.

It fits in the trash can.

Make this piece of trash actually work.

The advertisement page on Pyramyd is an absolute lie. There is no loading hundreds of BB's without a jam. A more accurate description would be "We've had hundreds of jams without loading a single BB." This ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT WORK. Pyramyd needs to remove these from their website and send their entire stock back to Umarex.

Less reloading time, nice!

None

Good to have around

The speedloader works good. It is cheap and fairly simple. It is not perfect but with practice it does the job.

Add some more adapters.

I about gave up on it at first. Then I squirted the plunger and the bbs with WD 40, shook everything around, squirted some BBs into a container, and started getting the hang of it. I load mags over a small box for the few BBs that try to jump away. When I get enough for a full mag, I just hand load the next one. You need to be less forceful with those thin plastic magazines, I jammed a couple to many in a few when I started loading at full steam.

works well with my full auto

make sure you lock the plunger when done.

Makes loading a breeze!!!

None

Nice that you just pump it in

Better than loading by hand.

Make plunger stronger.

Have to turn sideways & shake it or it jams with .177 bbs.

Nothing,

The rating system needs a negative star option. Poped the plunger up and 1st time I looked at it I knew this thing is trash, If there's not room to reinforce a plastic part then there's no room for a plastic part, move up the food chain to aluminum. The thing didn't work right outta the box. Had to cut the small plunger that cuts off the flow of bbs....which is meant to retain them but is rendered useless as the flow is cut off 1 bb later by a simple Santoprene insert (some parts are well made, like the body). From an engineering standpoint this is still absolutely disgusting, parts who's only function is to prevent function, no understanding of molded part/intended application stresses , it goes on but I won't. They didn't gold plate a turd, they anodized rat sh!t here. They could have made this out of stamped & spot welded sheet metal with one spring & rod for plunger, and an inch long santoprene tube with an ID of .16 to retain em. Just keep using your old Marksman snot-sucker lol

Just realized this is a pattern in Umarex products: awesome in the picture, great in the hand but as soon as you start using it you realize one or two EASILY correctable issues that absolutely cease function (so they must know about it) remain in circulation for years unchanged. Pyramid should open a box, try it, see it doesn't even work & return their stock of these to the manufacturer. At this point all companies involved lost face in selling this to me. Umarex should put the designers head on a pike by their front door for this one.

Nothing

Needs completely resigned. Jams a lot! Flimsy plastic rod broke first time using it.

Absolute junk. But no other system available.

I liked nothing about this. It jammed immediately and jammed on every attempt to use it. Had it not jammed it would still have been virtually unusable. Difficult to load. Difficult to line up with the magazine of my newly-purchased Crosman MK45. The clip-on magazine tips were fiddly to attach (none was designed for my Crosman but I thought they might help so I tried). I'd already discarded the retail packaging and rather than deal with the frustration of returning it, I just chucked the thing in the trash.

It would work. At all.
