My halo jammed and broke a ball again. I'm considering returning it and getting a Warp feed for my Emag. Do they work well? Which do you guys like better.
I may down the road get another Halo, cause it worked very well (when it works). But I wanna give the warp a try.

The warp doesnt have a hopper sticking out the top, which i see as a big advantage when laying down in woods games and when snap shooting. You can shoot it upside down as long as there is paintballs in the warp.

Awwe mang.. I thought I replied to this one.. Oh well. As stated above, (I tested yesterday when I got my warp) it will fire about 6-7 shots upside-down. By then.. the warp has no paint to push the remaining paint into the gun.
I guess now I can hang from tree limbs!! J/K

I can't wait to play this weekend and get used to handling it. I will say it does seem a lil bit heavier now when loaded with paint but who cares. Anyway I'll be posting some pics of my finished beast "grim" tomorrow :D

I LOVE MY MAG SO MUCH I NAMED IT!:rolleyes:

i would say go with the warp. before i bought mine i was a bit hisitent because i had heard that it upsets the balance of the gun and it adds a lot of weight. honestly, i don't notice the weight difference and the balance doesn't bother me. however, what i did notice was that since getting the warp, i haven't had a single hopper or gun hit what-so-ever, all of my eliminations are do to my fat @$$ hangin outside a bunker.

actually i'm not really a big guy, i just kinda slipped that line in there because i thought it'd funny...he he he. i'm actually pretty small: 5'10" 150lbs, i'm a pole vaulter, can't be too big to launch yourself 13 feet in the air with a long cylindrical piece of plastic.

Troo! I heard there have been some freak accidents in pole vaulting lately! Be careful.. the human body wasn't meant to fall 13 ft without damage! I always wanted to try it.. I'm 6'1" and about 155.. :-/ (A rail) Who knows.. to me.. paintball is much safer than other sports ;)

Hehe..if only I had a pic of my mag...I named it VaderMag(named after Darth Vader). Black, mean, and "force"ful! I guess we're all crazy about our mags! ;)

Yes you forgot to include a superbolt on the list.;)

Or you could just buy an emag with stuff for that much.

Nah, don't want an e-mag :eek: . I want this one because it is super-performance and with EVERYTHING that I want. I can't afford an e-mag with EVERYTHING I want.

How much is a super-bolt?

el pipi,

you might want to consider buying some used equipment from some of the guys here...you will find some good deals...

like retros for $200, warps for $100, halos for $90...for almost-new equipment...spend some time on the board first, get to know the people, and you will see who the good traders are and who takes care of their gear...some of us will go out to buy the newest equipment AS SOON as its available, then decide we dont like it, just to sell it again...

you can save a LOT of money by buying used

good luck

im going to get one of the new halos when they come out w/ belt drive. i would get a halo but i dont want to buy alot of batteries, & its a little to bulky for me.

Superbolts are around $50 at pbgear.com i think

el pipi you missed some common sense in there, and a good trigger frame :)

It would be better to buy an emag with a flatline and freak kit (1 tip) and a revy


why do you need 5 tips? a 10 for speedball i guess and a 14 for hyper / sup air... 12, 16 and 18 are pointless imo...

but to each his own

Ok, based on the responses I have gotten I have modified the mag. I ditched the 16 and 12 in tips for a Z-grip or a Blade Intelli. I couldn't find a superbolt anywhere!

Minimag-Hopper Right $279
Retro Valve $200 (Exchange for origional)
Halo $130
Air America Melee 88/3k $260
Warp Feed-Clear AGD $137.50
Fore Grip-Benchmark Black $30
Bottom Line Kit-9in. 2hole $20
Sight Rail-ANS Shark Gill Rail Black $33
Barrel System-Total Freak Kit SS back 10in silver $210
Freak Front-14in Silver $54
Freak Front-18in Silver $54
Z-Grip (or blade intelli) $115
Drop Forward Psycho Ballistics $28
$1550.5

OR! I could get this:

E-mag Black Warp Left $900
Air America Melee 88/3k $260
Barrel System-Total Freak Kit Black back 10in Black $195
Freak Front-14in Black $43
Freak Front-18in Black $43
Drop Forward Psycho Ballistics $28
$1469

Me thinks that both are good, but me still not sure which. Input?

I noticed you forgot to include the warpfeed and the halo. Unless u dont want them with the emag. Superbolts are $50 and are very nice if u are going to include one.
