I could try the longer one again, except with the carrier I have in it right now and see if that doesnt hurt as much.. but I dont have air..
Ok, the green doesnt look turquoise, it looks blue!!
Thats the older shells, or atleast sneaky hacker told me that...

Thats the blue one they have

You have to stick your finger closer to the bolt... otherwise the bolt will still hit at the same strength as if it didn't have lvl10........

I know that.. and I did that..

jah, why not just get it upgraded to a HALO B?

[LaW]

honestly something is wrong if it hurts still.... I have the shortest spring and .5 carrier.... 3 shims.... can't feel it touch my finger at all....

I think I need a new carrier. AGD put in one whole size smaller, so its 1 now, but Im going to order the .5 and 0 and maybe the hurt will go away!

green is nice .

what spring are you using?

[AcemanPB]

I thought the longest spring and biggest carrier that didn't leak gave you the softest setup

My HALO A totally SUCKED! Words cannot describe how much paint it broke. It broke on the non-level 10 Emag (no big surprise), the Timmy (which hardly ever broke a ball before the point), and the Shocker (which is the absolute gentlest thing ever on paint - never had a break bore the A.)

I was so shocked I didn't even try to figure out the problem. Anyhow, at the IAO I got it upgraded to B for $30 bucks and now I couldn't be happier. Do yourself a fovor - get it upgraded quick - A's are crap in my book.

ACE,
You are correct, Longest spring and largest carrier without a leak will give you the softest setup.

i have to agree with you with this. The HALO A is the crappiest loader i've ever used. When i had mine, i actually broke paint inside of the loader! The best $30 i spent was getting my halo converted to a b. Unfortunately i don't have it anymore, but it was great when it was a b, sucked when it was an a.

note I use to own a micromag and once a had a ball shell get between the anti double feed dent and spring. so I kept feeding 1 1/2 ball at a time. That is the only time when i literally had as much paint in the gun as i shot.

yeah, odyssey used to make thoes green shells, infact, a guy at my field has a green halo b like that, but now they are turning into more of a turquoise shade of green... i've also seen them like that at my field

yeah, i agree, either black or smoke



unfortunately, odyssey has haulted production of halo's because of the stupid lawsuits from BE and were forces to stop production until further notified, thats one of the reasons why halo's are out of stock everywhere... they aren't being made!


get some different paint and click the detent in on the halo so that theres not as much pressure on the stack... also, pick up the rest of the lvl 10 parts and set it up right

[personman]

Well I dont have a full kit so thats my problem.
Ive said it like 3 times in the thread, but I have a short spring and #1 carrier and two shims. The only other ones I have is the #2 carreir and the medium spring that came with it, but that was a worse configuration
Ima upgrade it, thanks for clearing it up, I bet thats what it is (or mostly)

Oh, and this was the first time I put paint through my gun, so it couldnt have been paint in the detent.

[sneakyhacker420]

but your shop did put 4000 shots on the counter... some of thoes which could have been paint

Heh, it was probally from little kids (like me) asking to see the gun and pulling the trigger.. and they put level 10 in it too..
