Sounds like a nice set up. The V35 Halo is a little much for the MiniMag [if that's what you're going to use it on] and I myself like a stick squeegee over the pull-throughs....but a very nice set up indeed

Thanks

For the price the Halo v35 with rip is going for, you may as well get a Prophecy.

It's overkill for a stock minimag but if you're getting the halo you may as well get a prophecy

[WillBrayJr]

I guess I learn somethng new everyday

revvy will do fine, HALO is fine, not really needed though, same for the prophecy.

I'll second the Revy (VL Revolution), best hopper ever made and for $30 you can't beat the cost. Also, with a bone-stock minimag you won't shoot more than, say, 10bps or so. In all actuality a gravity feed would be sufficient, but a motorized hopper is more reliable.


Looks like a good setup. Be weary when using the squeegees, though. You need to remove the barrel in order to use the squeegee, and if it is twist lock that means paint will come pouring out of the gun unless you do something with the hopper.

With the Halo or anything else force fed, you will need to turn it off and remove it, probably spilling at least 5 paintballs. With the Revy, you'd just need to flip the whole gun upside down.


I'll recommend a straight-shot or stick style squeegee. Just as good, better to use on TL automags, and usually more durable. The only issue is carrying it if you don't have a pouch/pocket for it.

Also, in a pinch, you can get away with using just a swab...



Good choice with the Profilers. My personal favorite mask, had mine for a year or two already, the current lens for about as long, and I never had a problem with fogging, blurred vision, or blind-spots. I think the Profiler is the most comfortable mask I have ever worn, and it has the best range of vision as well.

I say just get a higher end loader as oppose to a revy. Why? Because eventually if you ever upgrade, it's money that you've spent already, not spending more because it doesn't feed fast enough for your new toy.

Paintball is going to burn a hole in my pocket Here's another list I came up with at www.shop4paintball.com

NXE Barrel Cover
Bent Elbow(plan on buying a few)
JT Majik No Fog Spray
Dye Micro Fiber Lens Cloth
Redz Tranzport backpack
V-Force Morph Goggles
Redz Flex Tech 313 Pod Pack
Custom Products Pod Tubes
VL Revolution Loader
NXE Micro Fiber Squeegee

As I stated earlier I'm trying to keep everything to one store.

If you are trying to minimize spending just get a normal backpack instead of a paintball branded backpack. For the extra cost of that Redz pack you only gain the functionality of the 4 barrel sleeves, which isn't that great of a loss. Paintball bags are typically overpriced you have to check what functionality you want and what your getting. It's a lot like taking a $3 towel putting a grommet in the corner and suddenly it's a $15 "golf towel".

I'd say the VL revvy is a good choice it's pretty much the standard back up to all of the high end loaders because it just works.

You can probably get away without buying the spray and picking up a cheaper micro fiber towel locally as well. I've had a morph and a profiler both use the same lenses and neither had fogging issues for me except in very extreme conditions when everything fogged. I'd take the money from the pack, the spray and the DYE towel get a spare lens instead. You may want both a tinted and clear lenses to use for varying light conditions. A spare lens is always a good thing to have.

[Shirow]

You shouldn't use anti fog spray on thermal lenses either.
