New Halo TSA

[1stdeadeye]

Anyone have the skinny on the new Halo TSA's. Right now the Backman is available and it holds about 180 balls. Coming soon is the Frontman which holds 200 balls. Since the Backman fires more, shouldn't he have the larger hopper?

Design looks neat. Kind of like the Empire reloader sound technology with the Halo's force feed. Also, the Halo's feeder spins both ways depending upon the angle of the hopper. Sounds real cool.

So anyone seen one yet or heard about how they operate? Is it time to shelve the EVO II? What is their feed rate?

There is a typo out there which is causing confusion.

The TSA Backman is the larger capacity one and will be coming out first. It holds around 220 paintballs I think. The TSA Frontman will be around 180 paintballs and will be coming out in the future.

It's not a force feed.

It is a sound activated system like the Empire reloader. But with some very nice added touches. The paddle changes direction depending on how the gun is leant over to ensure it's always pushing paint easily towards the outlet.

There will be LED and LCD versions in the future.

Any links to a site w/ pics and info would be greatly appreciated. I'm thinking about getting a Halo. Will these feed as fast since they aren't force fed?

[manike]

It won't feed as fast as the Halo B as it isn't force feed.

It is more designed to compete against the 12V Revy and similar.

Here's a website http://www.haloloader.com/newsite/index.html but there still isn't that much information out yet.

Halo Website

Thanks Manike for the info. The magazine ad didn't seem just right. I'll check their website and post more info.

It's the HALO TSA print ads which are causing the confusion. This months PB2X carries the ad I think...

looks a LOT different then the Warpig seek peek thats for sure :)

Well..the only thing that worrries me is that the only thing slower than X-Mag production is Halo production so I'm afraid we won't see this thing in large numbers till at least WC..

thank BE. they forced halo to sell out to national to pay the settlement.

[DiRTyBuNNy]

well...that's the thing that doesn't make sense to me. With selling out to National we should have seen Halo's sooner than we are, because with their money they'd be able to give Odyssey the cash to build more Halo's than they would know what to do with.

i must say that i'm very interested in the LCD version of the Frontman. Anyone have a vague idea of the cost?

[DiRTyBuNNy]

I was looking at a backman..but I'd like for them to shed a little bit more on why you'd want an LED or an LCD version...and I too am interested in cost..

Not true in the slightest.

I too have looked for some confirmation of that rumor and found none...

i have held one of these in my hands

dude these are gonna rock. At the NLPL tournament series they have a national truck there. and they have the backman there. there are going to compete with the x-borad revvy, not the evo or halo. he led is basically a light that tells you if it on or not. the lcd is kinda like the back of a rico. any other questions about them, ask away. i have met and talked to the creator of the tsa
