Heh, cool. Manual override for the HALO. That would've been handy last weekend when my HALO died in the first game.

Shaweet! One of my local field regulars who cant afford a HALO so bashes it all the time is gonna eat his words! HE says he doesnt have one because if the betteries run down, it wont work...he gives me so much crap for having it, but only because he cant aford one! I will deffinetly buy one! WOOT!

Darn, just noticed that I'll have to send my HALOs in again to get they modded.

Also, looks like with the Rip Drive that it would be advantageous to have a highrise if you were ever in that situation.

Yet another reason why Odyssey rules. Ask BE what to do when your hopper dies mid-game and they'll say "um... shake your gun?"

I must have one of these. Tex, you can have my soul in trade if you'd like!

I'd rather shake my gun than spin that thing to feed balls dude.

The problem with the halo's are that the feed tube is blocked by these bead thangs, so it needs the force of the spring cone thing to push balls into the breech. This way, if your halo dies the only way to use the gun at all is to reach your hand inside the hopper and push balls down the feed neck 1 by 1.

I feel cheated...but at least it looks like this thing is gonna come out. The halo TSA was hyped the same way with a pic but no info on their site, and that was a while back, I don't remember seeing any halo TSAs at my local store last weekend.

*weird*...

The TSA is being unveiled at Mardi Gras on the 20th. ;)

acuually the halo keeps a good stack of 10-20 balls in the whole feedneck system... so rotate it, take 10 shots, rotate it take 10 more.....

[INFERNO]

is there a possibilty that its spring loaded and winds up like a wind up toy. i dont know much about halos but is it a possibility

TSA isnt force fed its just to take over the revy market.

monkeys: improving our paintball expirience daily.

I emailed odyssey a while ago, they said they sell more than they can make, imagine how rich they are :) This ripdrive is cool, but a little misleading :) (sounds like something that would make the halo rip even FASTER... oh well :))
