has anybody tried the eggolution 2 on a warp?

[ZyperioN]

hey triad, when u can shoot over 17 bps second on semi and need that extra 5 bps come tell me and i'll edit his post. maybe if u would have taken the time to read we have already given the overall bps title to halo. but the difference between 17 bps and 22 bps in a game is irrelivant so plz dont jump in with your sarcastic comments trying to prove an insignificant point.

agdemagman69 - i have used the eggo II on a warp and it performs marvelously, much better than the 12 volt rev's

[Kevmaster]

ok, let me rephrase that:
while in a game , it will feed just as well asa HALO

[personman]

how loud is it? Just a little curious..

[ZyperioN]

practically silent, much less noise than a rev

[TRIAD]

What do these things cost? Because HALO B's are 110-115:

Evvy2's:

35 more and you go from black evvy 2 to black halo b
30 more and you go from clear evvy 2 to clear or colored halo b

When you're buying a loader of that caliber, you're looking for the epitimity of feed rate. You want the best, and the best is the Halo B. You don't buy an Evvy2 to play 13 bps semi. Any X-Board Revvy with Impeller can feed that. You buy it for that extra performance. The Halo B gives that performance, with the great customer service of Odyssey Paintball products.

this has been disscussed for a long time and i will sum it all up with this table, now u see why. the 12 volt rev, with x-board and any impeller u want will still not feed a consistent stream of paint. All rev's feed in bursts of 12 bps, there are many gaps in the stream of paint from a 12 volt, so it is still very possible to chop a ball or skip a shot if u are in the gap stage while firing. eVLution II's feed a constant stream of paint. The halo is a great loader but u have to ask yourself, are u willing to pay 30-35 dollars more for less carrying capacity, more weight, and only a marginal increase in speed.

I would gladly take 200 paintballs feeding a 17 bps over 175 paintballs at 22 bps.

Triad why wouldnt u buy the Evo II to play at 13 bps semi, it feeds at 17 bps so that seems like an awesome combo?

[ZyperioN]

oops forgot the picture. Thier are some error's here though. they are as follows. Evo II's capacity is actually 200 balls, while the Halo's is 175. the prices are also a bit off. this test was done when halo's and evlution 2's first came out.

[Kevmaster]

the chart IS inflated and is VERY biased towards Evos. the HALO Does nOT cost 150

sorry

[TITAN]

directly from odyssey they do

He qualified that the prices were off. Other than that it clearly shows that the HaloB has the highest rate of fire. So how is it biased towards Evos?

ZyperioN-where did this table come from? You almost have me convinced that I have to give the EvoII a try......

When I first got the HALO I counted how many balls it would hold, and yes, it will hold the advertised 180.

Although I think it's great that there is a cheaper alternative out there to the HALO, I still have to say that I believe the Evo II is greatly outclassed by the HALO.

That extra little bit of feed rate will actually be of some help. Because of how consistently the things feed, you can know for sure that once one ball is shot, it will be pretty close to .06 seconds before another ball drops in. Obviously nobody can shoot 17 BPS consistently, and probably not even in bursts, but the chances of having a space between two shots of less than .06 seconds are pretty good (Remember the guy telling you he can shoot 20 BPS on his LCD? Remember how the LCD records BPS?). I have managed, once, to get my gun to chop with my HALO ("A" model, not B). My gun is a Spyder Shutter, with stock frame and Dye Stickies. The HALO A is feeding about as fast as an Evo II, and I still chopped with a Spyder. If I had had the belt drive upgrade, would it have happened? Most likely not. With the Halo B, there are .043 seconds between each ball, greatly reducing the chances of you getting off two shots too close together.

I also have to point out that, having owned two revs, which now sit in my room having their non-electronic parts parted out after having quit within a week of each other for no reason at all, I can say that nothing has the HALO beat for quality of construction. You know it as well as I do, you owned one. The rev looks like a child's plaything next to it.

And as far as aesthetics goes... The Egg should be flattered to be called anything other than hideous. Sure, there are those who like the look of them, but most people don't. The colored and clear HALO B's, on the other hand, are downright gorgeous.

One last category where I'm sure the HALO has the Evo II beat is usability with a warp. The HALO is almost like it was designed to fit on there perfectly. I don't even want to know what it looks like to put an Egg on a warp.

Again, I do realize that the Evo II is a very good loader, and if you prefer it then that's great. If you want to think that it is better than a HALO, then that's fine too; your priorities must be different than mine. I just want to see credit given where credit is due on both sides of the issue.

[Kevmaster]

i just thought i would add....i frequently hear my level 10 in action using my HALO(both when i had an A mdoel and my current B model). dont know if theres something wrong, but i know that im not firing 22+ bps...

[TRIAD]

possible your pf plug is setup incorrectly

[ZyperioN]

i got this chart from another thread on Evo II's. I just came back from playing with mine, and it turned some halo users faces red. definately a hit at Skirmish USA.
