First Impressions
This comes with the loader and the attachment to load pistol magazines (more on this later). When I first got this I was pretty excited because I had just ordered 3 standards with it. I heard that this was great for reloading in the field if you ran out of ammo. Naturally, I bought one since my standard magazine count now went up to four (4). So I opened it up, it was nothing special so far. So I loaded it up and went to work clicking away into my standards. I was amazed at how easy this was compared to doing it with the loading rod.
You can see “Tokyo Marui CO. LTD. MADE IN JAPAN” engraved on the side of the loader.”
How to use
To lock the plunger mechanism down simply push down on the plunger, you will hear a click and the push the button on the side of the loader that says “push lock” and then you have it locked in place. To use it again simply push the button that says “push open” and then the plunger should pop up. If it does not, do not worry just push the plunger down until it pops up. Now, to the pistol magazine loader. This comes with the speed loader in the package. It’s not that hard to put on or understand so I’m nothing going to go into anything about it.

Performance
This thing works great. It works almost flawlessly, it some times give you problems when you fill it up to much, but it just takes 1 or 2 clicks to start pumping the BBs into the magazine, other times the plunger will stick after you keep in the plunger down into the loader (as seen in the picture below). It takes about 18 depressions of the plunger to fill my TM M16 standards.
Here you can see it says “Marui BB loader”
I did a test to see how many BBs would come out each time I pushed down on the plunger and the average was 4, here are the test results anyways.
Test one
The number on the right shows the number of BB’s that came out per click. The number on the left shows the number of BBs that came out each time was 3, 4, or 5.
3: 4
4: 21
5: 5
Second test
3: 4
4: 24
5: 2

Pros
+ Very easy to use
+ It’s very sturdy
+ It can turn into the size of a pistol magazine
+ It helps me out a lot with loading (can’t wait to get more).
Cons
- I did not buy more.
- Can't use it on G&P midcaps.

Conclusion
I would suggest these to any one who has a couple of standards lowcaps. The ration I was thinking if your standards have more than 60 rounds in them, 1 loaders for every 2 magazines. I do not suggest these for G&P midcaps as they for some reason do not work, all the BBs do is spit out after you put about 60 BBs into it.
