    Are the Halo B's still impossible to get ?

    My wife just ordered one for me from PaintballGear.com and the order went through. Then a few days later I get an email that they are out of stock on them. I called to find out what's going on and they said they've been out of them for a long time. I thought I read somewhere that the Halo's weren't hard to get anymore. Can anybody give me some info here ?

    Another question about the Halo's : If I turn my gun upside down with the Halo on it, will the paint drop back down into the hopper ? Just curious in case I break a ball and need to clear out the end of the barrel, I can turn it upside down, and dry fire the residual paint out. I've got a centerfeed Emag so turning off the powerfeed isn't an option.

    I'd send an e-mail to Oddssey and see where they've sent their last shipment to and order from there. If you turn it upside down it may feed a ball or 2 so make sure you fire it clear a few times. The rest of the paint will stay between neck the drive cone and your breech until you tilt it right side up.

      I have had some on order two weeks and they said that they would ship in two or three weeks when I ordered. I not heard that they shipped yet. They are behind filling big orderes and the events they are going too as well. But I hope I will have some next week. Gimme a buz next week as some of mine are not spoken for. Clear and Smoke I might have a few extras of.

        a little off topic, but i agree with your pbgear gripe.
        I think now they're just plain deceiving people- i ordered something from them and clicked the "stock check" button and it said in stock. then on the order form it said in stock, then 2 days later I get an email saying it's out of stock. What a bunch of crap.

        HALOs are hard to find.
        sigs are overrated.

          Yes, I too am waiting for my Halo B. I bought it at pbgear also. But I ordered mine Dec 27 and paid for 2-3 day shipping.

            they should be ok to get, with all the people sending theirs back anyway

            J/k, i know a few ppl who got them, complete junk, either all 3 were lemons or they just suck.

            But they did also get the brass eagle one, says it works awsome.

              Heh! well I got two and people are begging to borrow them. And do not want to bring them back. Other than a bad motor on one that they fixed promptly (and free of course) they rock. Send me all the ones you want to unload and I will be glad to have em! Working or not, I take em...

                          Odyssey very, recently moved to a new facility. The new space is allowing them to triple their weekly production capacity, so HALO Bs should be easier to get your hands on now and or in the immediate future.
