Tsk tsk.... empty HALOs

[manike]

No one surrenders here Just not the done thing

Asking people to surrender here results in yourself getting shot from very close range... usually in the groin as they look up at you

I don't bunker new players if at all possible, just get an unexpected angle on them and shoot them out somewhere that won't hurt. Like on the gun or boot usually.

Barrel tagging is fun, but rarely allowed here. It's considered physical contact and not allowed... but I do it in the states. :)

RDB123 it sounds like you have a Halo A, especially if you have that little lever by the feed neck. That's a detent for balls in the feed neck and was supposed to help it with certain regulations I think, it's not needed now as far as I am aware and no Halo B's have it.

I'm not sure how you can expect to bunker someone if you have no paint :)

Hmmmm, are you sure? The button to turn mine on and off is a little circle maybe half a centimeter in diameter.... I was under the impression that the HALO A power button was the whole back panel itself.....

Thanks

And yes, just run over and start screaming "bang bang bang you're alllllll dead!" and jump up and down like a monkey on LSD and they usually surrender.

All Halo's have the same little black rubber button on them to turn them on and off. I have both right here.

If you have the detent, you are likely to have a Halo A.

If your drive cone only has two paddles on it then it's a Halo A.

If your drive cone is not sprung loaded it's a Halo A.

Does that help?

finally, someone who agrees with me

but yeh, to turn OFF a Halo B, all you do is hold the button till the LED turns Red and then release. you can hold it for a week if you want. same thing to turn on a B(but till greed). the only difference was turning ON a halo A which was a bia-tch. had to push it, wait about a second and then push it again. terrible design

Yes it does. Looks like mine is a HALO B; maybe mine is malfunctioning or something because it is pretty damn loud. Even louder than most revvys I've seen. Oh well.

Thanks guys.

A HaloB should be very quiet, it should also not constantly when it is empty like the HaloA and revy...

Just currious, what color is the guts of the Halo and does it have a little sprint sticking out in side or beads?

...I replaced my beads with "Hippie" beads. Now mine is layed back and passive...

Yes it has that spring sticking out. I just tested it in my house.... I stuck the HALO B in one room with the door open, and then i progressively walked away.... I could hear it pretty clearly from 60 feet away. That's weird that mine continues to whirl around nonstop when there is no paint left.... weird. I bought the thing from Xerces and he said it was a HALO B. The inside of it is all black as well.

Thanks for your input guys.

Listening to something inside is not an accurate indication of how it sounds outside on the playing field. And when you are using it, your head is next to it. I am sure it is nowhere near that loud on an open field and from another player's position.

[Muzikman]

That is a HaloA....
The HaloB is blue in side, uses Beads instead of the spring and is a non-sprung drive cone. Hence the reason it continues to spins. And yes the HaloA's were VERY loud.

Again, to sum it up...you have a HaloA loader, not a B and it is loud. Get the A to B upgrade, problem solved.

[cphilip]

Its an A...

Uuh....fill your hopper before doing someone?

Halo B has the sprung drive cone. They all do. If you can push the drive cone backwards and feel the spring and it then jumps back around it has B parts in it.

Not all B's are blue inside. One of mine is not... But it is a very early edition B.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the room I placed it in connects to a huge open room that has balconies looking down on it. So it somewhat replicates the nature of the sound on the field.

Lol, but yeah, even if it doesn't fully mimic the conditions on the field, I'm sure this is loud enough that you can hear it from 10 feet away and know what that means =)

Thanks
