12v Revvie or Ricochet...whaddaya prefer?

[PsychoMag]

I play alot of tourneys, and my team keps getting bigger. The problem I have, is those darn hopper hits. One of my sponsors uses the Ricochet hopper, but I hear it is slower, and noisy. Whaddaya think, and prefer?

I use a revy now but I also pre ordered a Halo from www.nationalpb.com so if you can wait go for that. Also look into a warp to get your hopper off your gun. I haven't heard much good about the ricochet but I haven't heard much.

The warp is ok...not much for my style, although I am looking for another one, The HALO, i heard was very big and bulky...i dunno...

the Rico is defently worth it. I'd have to admit that it is louder than a Rev but what difference does that make? The paddles are flexable to avoid breaking balls in the hopper and the flat surfaces ricochet paint sometimes. It's also got a ball counter, timmer, ect.

Any post BE 12v hopper is slower than the richochet. I've seen and used both, and I could get enough funds together, I'd own the Rico. Why? It has a steady feed rate of 12 or 13 bps, the 12v supplies, on average, about 9 or 10 (post BE). Not to mention the fact that it also boasts a lot of cool and useful features. If only they would offer them in colors.......

The Halo is SLIGHTLY larger than a standard REV - its benifits FAR out weigh the slight size increase!

I agree with the webby. The Halo is suppose to be out pretty soon and it's definitely something to look into.

Halo has a larger feed rate, and running off AA batteries it's suppose to have a better battery life.

Just my 2 cents

[PsychoMag]

my sponsor can get me a 'HALO, but a buddy saw one and said it was the size of those old Indian sPrings 300 hoppers. He said it was noisy and jams easy...as far as the rico, i cahn scoop one up for $65 from one of my sponsors, I am thinkin of chrome or clear...also, my revvie is 12v, and is post BE.

Thanks for everyones input...I am going to investigate the HALO myself, since I believe the designer is the guy who made the original VL2000 Revvie that started it all

I am going to go for the rico for now...maybe youll see me sellin it in a few mos for $40 when the HALO finally hits

the halo is by far the fastest thing ever thought of, and it by no means jams! You guys shoulda seen it keep up with the warp on an e-mag firng 16 bps. it never skipped a beat, it actually dug a hole in the ground! now that is some fast fire power! i wish there was a video if it! if i were you guys i would all invest in a halo, they are worth it!

you ever notice how elves do everyting???

[PsychoMag]

magman...I am going to look into the HALO. I have a tourny Sept 30th, and want a new hopper for then...I did have the warp but dumped it for $100 cuz it was too bulky at the time...now I am considering a new one.

Here's a good review of the Ric. by PballCanada.com
It's good, it's been recently revised because the ric got upgraded.

You guys should check out the posts on the Halo vs Rico on pbnation.com. There are numerous posts of Halo's actually chopping paint and other various problems with that hopper. On the other hand there are tones of posts praising the Rico. I personally just ordered the Rico so I will be able to tell you guys first hand how well it works. Check out the website for Ricochet2-k.com.

Ricochet's now come in colors. I have not seen them anywhere, and my store knows nothing about them, but they sell them at the site above. They only use 1 9 volt for a promised 5000 paintballs. That outlasts my Rev by about 3000 shots! Plus it includes a game timer w/ alarm, reload warning w/ alarm, shot counter, true spin for every shot, a lever blocking blowback, and built in E-Mail. I'm not shure about the HALO, but with the amount of features the Ricoshet includes, the new Revolution with a polycarbonite body and a X-Board may have a hard time keeping up. The super strong poly-body may help it some...

I remember in one post I read that AGD made a few suggestions for the Halo. It was done and worked flawlessly (hence the 16 bps with warp attached).

Keep in mind AGD has looked and tested it personally and praised it!

The reports of chopping may be old.

We will have to wait and see I guess.....
