    Halo B and mag Problems

    I just got my Halo B back from servicing and i went out to test it on my mag.
    But my mag is a twist and lock body and i guess the halo has to much force on the paintballs and is pushing them past the stopper. Is there anything i can do to for this not to happen.

    I plan on getting a ULE body eventually but i don't have the money to get one right now and i know that has ball detents.

    Downgrade your hopper?

        There is a switch on the board that you can adjust the torque with. Turn it down.

            You would have to take it all apart and look at the board. Honestly though you should either get a vert feed body like a ULE body or downgrade your hopper. Your mag can't shoot more then 13bps even with an RT or X-valve. So a rev. or even an egg would work better for you. The force feed on a Halo is made to keep up with electric guns that shoot 15bps consistantly.

              Which barrel do you have? Does it have one detent or two? The old emag stock barrel has two detents and you can still get it from AGD.

                I know what halo B's are made for i used to have a faster gun but downgraded to mag.
                I still have a another hopper to use but its ok
                Its not an emag barrel its just a regular mag barrel with clip thing as the ball stopper.

                    Have you tried replacing the detents. Considering they are in the mag rebuild kit they must be a fairly common item. I use an Empire Reloader B on the lowest setting (I don't think the stock Halo has adjustable settings) with a twist lock single detent barrel without any problems.

                      It's on the board. I beleive it is called a pot switch(?) anyway it is a silver box with a plastic screw head in it. You will see where it has a slot for a small screw driver. Turning it counter clockwise will lower the torque. Note where it is set now so that if you need to you can return to stock settings.

                        Funny... Manike has stated in the past that the force feed system is the preferable system even if not firing at high rates of fire. And I agree. I don't want the balls to have the opportunity to bobble in the stack, regardless of what speed Im shooting.

                          Alright i just took apart my halo looking for the little silver box and found nothing like a little box with a screw in the top. There was a little black box by were the wires go into it but there was no place for a small screw in it.

                          If i got the victory board for it would that help me since you can change the modes on it?

                            Lightest electro loader, and is just as fast as a Ego2, go to warpig and take a look at there testing that compaires all the loaders. They are cheap to I got mine for I think, $50.

                              The Victory board definately has the pot switch. That is what I am familiar with and assumed that the stock board would have it also.
                              Sorry about that.
