    Halo or egg?

    I think i remember see here one was better for a taller stack and one was better for a shorter stack. Is that right? What would work better with a powerfeed? I have a revy now and looking to up grade.

    I did try to search but I didn't find anything

    Thanks

    the halos feed fast with a shorter stack, that swhy AGD came out with the no rise body.

    HALOs are like 1 or 2 more balls faster than a yboard egg2 i believe. and also about 20 dollars more.
    personally, i like how the egg screams when your almost out of paint(the motor is loud when no paint is in there in other words)

    i haven't played a game with a halo so i'm not sure how theyu perform, but i did throw my friends on my warp and shot as fast i could, kept up nicely, not a single chop(16v mod to warp), i would chop with a revy on it tho.

    i like how the egg2 sit on verticle feed funs, but dont like how it sits on a warp.

    well, thats all i can give.

      First of all, try searching..

      I love my Egg, not as fast as the Halo, but at 18ish BPS it really doesn't matter. It's lighter, but some thing it looks awkward. Hold more balls than the halo too, I believe.

        Last sunday i played with both on my no rise. I loved the halo, it worked great the whole time i was able to use it. I hated the eggo. I constantly outshot it, i'm just glad i have LX.

        As far as useing them on a powerfeed mag, i couldn't say. I'm sure the profile of each would be huge though.

          You want an egg. The halo weighs more, and the weight of the hopper being far off to one side would tip the gun to the hopperside, and make your arms do more work to keep it steady. If you can outshoot 19BPS, and not 22 BPS it would be odd... Not that anyone can shoot that fast. I old my Halo and got the egg2 yboard.

              personaly the only gun ide put an egg on is a timmy(do to haveing the feed tube fo far foward). From what i have seen of them i would take a halo anyday, and well thats what i did.

              and and for the people crappin about the weight, i have no clue what they are talking about. yes on the scale there is a diffrence but when your playing theres none.

                Halo is heavy, but with the tank it is very balanced. The egg sits really far back so all the weight is to the back of the gun. At least on my ULE E-Mag..

                Performance, the Halo rocks. I am kinda disapointed because I really wanna use my lvl X bolt but with the Halo I rip streams of shots and I never hear that "psshh" of the lvl X, the Halo is FAST. Force feeding Halo along with the lvl X that doesn't bobble the stack of balls upward and you have a very reliable feeding system. I always like to impress my friends when I hold my E-Mag upside down and rip 5 or so shots, hehe

                  i have an egg and i think its amazing. Personally i dont think the halo is that heavy though but if you think it is, the egg is lighter. But i think non y-board eggs are like 70$ as apposed to the halos 100 something dollars but anyways an regualr egg shoots 17 bps.but if you can outshoot that then get the halo. Your preference

                    Am I the only one who doesnt find the halo heavy? I mean, its heaviER, but its like a nickel is heavier than a penny, it doesnt really matter. At least to me, but I have 7-9 pound mag (but that doesnt bother me at all either! I dont see all the hoot about light guns anyways, besides being a nice feature I dont see why people obsess. Do you REALLY get tired after a day of holding a 9 pound gun? )

                      Got both, sold the egg

                      I have an NYX Trix and the Egg would choke once in a while. God bless the ACE in my marker, cuz my friend with a speed angel and other friend with a classic mag blends paint with the egg once in a while. It's not a bad hopper, but halo has no bobble, feeds at any angle, and as far as weight goes, the only thing that makes it heavy is that damn 6 AA battery pack. NP. Just use the energizer lithium batteries (which Ed from Odyssey recommends anyways) and it will be light as two 9 volts and supposedly last for 40,000 rounds (20 cases).

                      Or do what I did. Run the power cable out the bottom of the halo and strap a pager pouch to the bottom (or top) of your airtank for the batteries to sit in and the balance is significantly inpmroved. I'll see if I can post a pic of my rigging soon.

                        Speed isn't much of a problem because they are both realy fast, but if you want to make sure you will never outshoot it get a halo, but on a power feed the weight will be a problem, as previously stated. Realy is just your choise.

                          He didn't try hard enough, there have been a few of these threads, anyway, it doesn't matter.

                            sooo... stop makin a stink about it...

                            I have a HALO, and love it to death... I don't think anybody would ever be able to outshoot it, and the weight really isn't an issue at all for me. Plus I personally can't stand how an eggo looks.
