empire reloader because it feed pretty fast and consistant and the hopper doesn't weight a lot, doesn't look too bad either :)

I'm thinking of getting a Halo but i'm not sure...I heard the VL evolution 2 was pretty good. I currently have a 9v Revo with a tiny little paddle and I really hate it. Never feeds when I need it i end up shaking my gun constantly! I would get a warp feed but personally i think they're really ugly

How excatly does a halo work?? Isn't it like belt driven or something? how does that work? does it aggitate balls or does it like force them down?

Nothing compares with the Halo B. Can you say no chops without the level 10. Get one you wont be sorry.

P.S. Get the level 10 anyway, great upgrade.:D

No contest, HALO B. Fastest loader currently available to the public. It may be heavy, big, and takes 6 AA's instead of a 9v or two 9vs, but it's simply the fastest. Your marker doesn't care what the loader costs. It doesn't care how heavy the loader is, or how many balls it can hold, or what type of batteries it uses. All that is important to your marker is the speed of the loader, to make sure that a ball is available ALL THE WAY in the breech for you.

used a halo (both A and a B) and it was pretty decent, the only thing that ever bothered me about it was the times I saw other players dumping paint out of the Halo loader to unjam it.

I have an Evo 2cause its cheap, light and never heard of it jamming or destroying the paint in the loader, plus the eye is REALLY good!

The problem that i have with the evoII is that it is just too slow. With the halo i can be on the trigger for as long as I like and it never slows down. With the Evo I cannot shoot long strings or it slows way down. If you dont have a fast gun then this is no problem. But with my timmy I easily outshoot the evo.

i have a revolution still, it keeps up with my angel and rt just fine. does the x board upgrade really help that much? im thinking about getting it. i've used the halo and egg but couldnt get used to the hugeness

you could get a turbo rev board. x board is good, but sounds like it has sand in the moter when it spins. and the turbo rev. board is supposed to feed 15 or 16. but i cant ever say i have seen one do that.

That nobody mentioned the fact that a WarpFeed is only a Paintball Accelerator. In any case.... Halo, then Warp and whatever on top, then Evo2.

For now I'm sticking with my Reloaded Revy, and gonna slap it on a Warp Feed (when it finally gets here... should be this week.)

But it's not VL Evolution 2, it's eVLution 2! Get your clever marketing schemes right!:p

Halo B for speed, 12v xboard for weight IMO

It is really a matter of preference, as you can see. I bought a Halo A as my first hopper, and didn't ever have any problems with it. And that was even on full auto on my storm framed piranha (I now have a ReTro minimag). I got the Halo upgraded to a Halo B for only $30, but only cuz I was jealous of my friends Halo B's silence and gaurenteed ability to never be out shot. I have never heard or seen a single person have any trouble with jamming paint in their Halo B, so I wouldn't worry about that. Because I have no job, and I am broke as a joke, I sold the Halo, and bought a revvy and level 10. I haven't got them in the mail yet, but they should do the job, especially since I use a warp. Yes the Halo is force feed, and the paddles are spring loaded, so the balls are always instantly moving foward, before the electronics even have time to react (I don't see how it could be any faster or more reliable than that). I personally liked the AA batteries better, because they are cheaper and I can recharge four at a time in only half an hour. As soon as I am financially stable again, I'm positive I'll buy a Halo B again! And about the weight issue, the quotes I have seen on this board should take care of that:

"you think my gun is too heavy, well, Real Men don't notice".

Or,

"if my gun is too heavy, get a stronger me!"


Also, E==Mag MAN, where is the video of the Evo II?

Mach404 reminds me of a shaving product, like the Mach3 (good razor, btw). :D

12v with xboard and vortex impellar.

Thanks for all the help guys it seems like HAlo B is the best out there. one question though what is the difference between the halo A and B?? I played tonight and my Rev absolutly sucks. I loaded it with some paint and was just dumping it back into the bag and i couldn't tell you how many times it jammed, and one time my paint got jammed and i held it still for almost 2 mins and the paddle never freed the jam. I really need a halo and an xvalve. by the way ascreenam3 it looks like our guns are almost identical haha.

Halo A is less efficient, feeds not as well, MUCH LOUDER, and jams more

Halo B is greater

Well, I think it comes down to how long the strings you shoot are. I love my rico and had no problems at all (level 10 kicked in once) this weekend. I only shoot 10-15 shot strings in general though. I also love how small it's profile is.

Indian Springs rules.... :rolleyes: Seriously, if you need a fast loader.. HALO is the ONLY choice, if you need a good hopper thats fast but not as heavy or fugly *cough*eggo2*cough* then get the 12v revvy.

i have a 9v revvy with a vortex impeller. although its no haloB, it does the job fine for me.

My halo b is tight, and I voted for it, but I bet the TSA is going to be a big hit, or atleast with me. Sound activated, the propeller changes directions when yyou tilt it, and I bet its going to be much lighter than the halo belt, and will probally use a 9v..
If I diddnt have a Halo B, that would be my next choice.

Halo B is the Best. All of the adgitator hoppers only stir up the paint so it flows better. It still uses gravety and Gravity can only realy feed 13 BPS at it's best. Halo's Push the balls down the feed neck so I can feed faster than gravity and becase it pushes the balls down it almsot garenties that the ball will be all the way in the breach. And the Halo B has a spring mechanism that Keeps the balls in the feed neck under pressure when you are not shooting so that when you start shooting again the balls will feed at top speed right away even though the motor isn't up to speed. To Sum it all up, Buy a figgin Halo B.

basically echoing what many other people have already said: can't go wrong with a HALO, as long as it's a B-model!!

The other good thing about the halo b and the batteries is that the batteries help balance the weight very well. W/ the feeding impellors in the back and the batteries in front it makes the weight very evenly distributed.

Everybody knows in their hearts that the gloader is the best hopper of all time. NO BATTERIES! USes a STRING!

why does everyone always claim the Egg is heavy? Its fricken lighter then my revvy (when both are empty)

if its a matter of fullness that makes one loader too heavy when compared to another, then just dont put in so many balls

i feel left out...doesnt even have my old school 9V on it. Or maybe i just need a new loader... hmmm idk
