Halo or egg?

[ChuckWag78]

Thanks for all of the responces, execpt for a couple about the search .

I just ordered and should be recieving my xvalve and intelli frame. Those things considered which would work better with the power feed? How many people really out shoot the egg? Weight really isn't much of a consern for me.

Also I've saw someone sell a rechargeable battery pack for the halo, is there anything like this for the egg?


Thanks again for everyones' responces.

Halo VS Evo 2

I personally dont have any experience with a Halo, but i've owned my Evo 2 for a while now. I'v never outshot my egg with my cocker (i own a mag too) even when i'm shooting my cocker wicked fast..one day I tried to outshoot it...and I couldn't. I have the push-button type (i dont know if it's a y-board) I guess I have the older type..anyways..the Halo is a little bit heavier then an egg..the Egg looks a LOT nicer then a Halo (in my opinion). The egg does sit pretty damn high on my p/f mag though, and kinda has a weird look too. So in the end..I think you should go with an egg..It's much cheaper, (bought mine for $80..as opposed to $130 or so), lighter and looks better and i doubt you will ever outshoot it with your mag as long it's not a no-rise. (If you turn it no-rise, get a halo) I hope I helped you out a bit.

Have the egg II and love it never used the halo so I can't say anything about it. The only thing I will say about the egg is if you get it don't be that guy that complains about out shooting the egg because he has the speed adjustment set to 4 bps instead 19 bps.

GO EGGY GO!

I have an egg on my x-valved micromag and I love it. I cut the feed tube down on the eggy so it sits lower on the gun, ball bobble isn't a problem because I've got a powerfeed on my mag. Feeds fast enough, I'm not shooting an electro so usually I can't break 15bps. If you're shooting a powerfeed marker then you don't need the Halo's force feeding, and I got my egg on ebay for $58 as opposed to paying $105-125 for a used halo on auction.

I run on egg2 with Y-board on my right feed cocker and Love it. Its so cute and round. The lid is a bit of a pain, I miss loading my old revy vs the egg but that is the only problem. But in the eggs defence, since the lid is spring loaded you never have to worry if its colsed enough like you did with revies.

I have no experience with a halo on my gun, but I have two friends that use them. One works great the other doesn't. Both are Halo Bs.

I like my egg so much I just bought a second (well.. ok I just bought an egg 1) for my nanococker.

Give me a break. I see one, and only one, advantage to getting an egg. Saving a couple of bucks. If you're poor, your marker probably doesn't shoot fast and a nice revvy will probably be just as good as the egg for ya, but cheaper. If you play a lot, have a nice marker, and can't afford to skip a shot because your marker was tilted a bit while there were just a few balls left in you hopper, PAY THE EXTRA MONEY!!!

(and if you have never skipped a shot running an egg with only a few balls in it, you're probably not bunkering anyone)

[thejesus]

If you read what he's written, you'll notice he's shooting a mechanical mag. Doubtful he can hit over 15 bps on an RT trigger (what, a 3lb pull?), and if he can I bet his girlfriend is really happy

Also, while the egg doesn't force-feed the paint it's actually quite difficult to get back in to the hopper once it's in the neck, at least on mine.

If he were shooting a GZ Timmy, Angel, E-Mag, etc. I'd reccomend a Halo, but it's just not worth the extra 50 bucks for HIM, imo.

[ChuckWag78]

Again thanks so much for everyones input!!

I think I'm going to go with the Egg. Where can I get the best price on one? Does anyone have a picture of an egg on a power-feed?


P.S. thejesus my girlfriend is VERY happy

You guys realize a Halo B Black new costs $110 shipped

[No sKiLLz]

I think at Costco you can pick up 3 dozen eggs for 8 bucks.

[PaintballSmurf13]

I love Costco .....if you go onto the *Official Mag pic* thread..you can find a pic of one...and only buy an egg if it is around $80..i just say this because iv seen them go for $100...

(sigh) Let me rephrase. If you have never experienced an empty breech with any type of loader that isn't force feeding (i.e. Halo or Warp Drive) because the marker was tilted sideways, than you most likely haven't put yourself often enough in a situation where your hopper is low on paint, and tilted sideways while you were firing (a good example of this type of situation would be bunkering).

But you know what? Get the Egg. In fact, everybody, get an egg. If you have a Halo, throw it in the trash, because no one will buy it, and then go get an egg.
