Nice! They sue the Pulse for breach of patent then they rip off the design! :mad:

Im no fan of NPS, but its my understanding that the Pulse design was NPS/Kee's in the first place. Thats why they sued.

As the rumor goes, a designer for Odyssey(Halo) left and found his way to work for ProCaps. While he worked at Halo, they were designing the next generation of the Halo. What you now see.

The work he did was owned by Halo, who was acquired by NPS. This work was protected by non-disclosure agreements while he was at Halo---and hence became the property of NPS/Kee when Halo was acquired.

So NPS/Kee didnt rip anything off. The reason why, to date, theyve won in court is because the design was theirs in the first place.

Are you dense? It was there design in the first place that was stolen from them. Now they are just producing the loader that THEY designed. The reason dxs had to stop making the pulse was because it was made with stolen technology.

edit-to initial poster, not rogue.

As I havent heard anything from the Pulse lawsuits sice they started. I am surprised that the Pulse is a rip off.... :eek:

this hopper isnt that badfinally one that i might like.

[RogueFactor]

Damn. $170.

[Chrishew09]

i like the magnetic clutch idea

[BigEvil]

Damn. $170.


I just said the same thing. Looks awesome, but they can keep it for that.

How can you not love Simon? That dude designs all kinds of cool no-BS goodies for paintball.

I agree. In this industry that is saying allot. I like how he gets to the point, and never fluffs up his products with a bunch of BS.

Ill stick with my halo..I've had bad expierences with mics and I dont want to spend another 40 on top of 170 for an rf chip..

Though the magna slip drive upgrade could be nice..so I dont have to worry about making soup in my hopper..that's no fun.


I still don't like the shape of the loader.

[RogueFactor]

I still don't like the shape of the loader.

Me neither. I didnt mentiong, cuz I was waiting for someone else too. But, like everything else, Im sure it will grow on me. Kinda like Dye Matrices.

[Chronobreak]

i think itl be nice on a warp for those that like the balance and location but not the egg hopper itself

[d4m4don3]

Theres an upgrade so you can use the Magna drive clutch system and rf on your halo/reloader so you don't have to splurge for a new hopper. I think I'll go that route.

[madcrisis]

now they just need to make the halo shells out of the stuff they made the pulse shells out of. i mean they can hammer in nails and ive broken 2 feednecks.

[Piranti]

Then you have never owned one or known many people who have owned them, the feednecks on them were brittle and broke repeatedly. Nearly everyone I know that had one had to send it in to get the shells replaced. To me they seemed worse than Halo or Reloader shells.

bah edit I am way to tired and should never post tired (or drunk) or you make yourself sound stupid....I me -P I wont edit what I said cause my own idiocy is readily apparent.

[hobbesTZ]

The last thing I want is another hopper than balances like an egg, and also costs twice as much.

[flyboy]

The big question I have is, are the shells still a pain in the butt to take apart and is the wiring improved.

Otherwise... kewl....

[B-Pow]

Not a fan of the shape, but I will take that magnitic clutch and put that in my halo...maybe (but then again if it ain't broke...)

The balance of that thing does not look good...but I guess if the gun was totally level it would put the center of mass of the paint and loader alone more over the grip. But fully set up marker (tank, barrel, that loader...etc) might throw the balance point too far back for my taste

[TheTramp]

I’m really happy they went with the magnetic lid. I’ve loved the idea ever since they used in it the Reloader 2. I’ve moded my Halo and Reloader B with rare earth magnets but having the lid built for it is sweet.

I’ll probably just get the magnetic drive upgrade though…

[angrysasquatch]

It's quite good of them to offer the drive upgrade to previous customers of theirs (unlike SP and the Ion/Epiphany).
