Dye Proto Primo Gravity Fed Paintball Loader - Black

Proto Primo Paintball Loader – Advanced Gravity-Fed Performance Without Batteries

Gravity-fed doesn't have to mean slow. The Proto Primo Loader is one of the most innovative gravity-fed paintball hoppers ever designed, combining the simplicity of a traditional hopper with a patent-pending shelf-feed system that helps improve paint flow, reduce jams, and support higher rates of fire.

Unlike standard gravity loaders that rely solely on paintballs falling into the feed neck, the Primo uses a unique Positive Feed Shelf that helps organize and funnel paint as you shoot. The result is smoother feeding, fewer interruptions, and more consistent performance without batteries or electronics.

Why Players Choose the Proto Primo

• Improved feeding compared to traditional gravity hoppers
• No batteries required
• Reduced paint jams and ball stacking
• Lightweight and easy to maintain
• Ideal for mechanical markers and recreational play

The Proto Primo is perfect for players who want dependable performance without the cost, maintenance, or battery requirements of an electronic loader.

What Makes the Proto Primo Different?

The Primo's patent-pending Positive Feed Shelf is designed to reduce pressure on paintballs while helping guide them toward the feed neck. As the marker is moved and fired, the shelf helps sort and funnel paint into position, improving consistency compared to traditional gravity-fed designs.

Instead of relying solely on gravity, the Primo actively manages paint flow through its internal geometry, helping players maintain smoother feeding during rapid shooting.

• Helps reduce feed-neck jams
