HALO B, my first field report!

[TheJester]

squid- ok, 1st, maybe you're halo just won't do it...i'll agree with you on that. you said you've had it for a while, so there may be a tad bit of wear that won't allow you to do it like us newer halo owners.

but if you have air, just try it. put the halo on your gun, fill it, turn it on, then turn it upside down and try shooting. 1 thing you maybe doing wrong is that at least me, i turn it on before i turn it upside down, you said you turned it on after it's upside down. 1 thing i find is it will vary on how many balls it feeds, sometimes i get 1 to pop out when i do it be hand, other times it spills paint all over the place, why i don't know, other wise i would tell you. you said you're shooting an angel...what's the setup though, not just what is it. i have yet to meet an angel that's not vert feed, so that may be the problem, maybe not. i have a powerfeed, so the fact that there are more in the ball stack may have an effect on it (i keep my elbow on the hopper). i'll get some air later tonight and see if the actually feed setup makes a difference. the more i do this, i think it's actually kinda gambeling when you do it. the eye won't always see the 1 that pops up. i will always see 1 pop up when i remove my hand from the elbow, uncovering the ball stack...some times the eye sees this and spits out the entire stack, other times it doesn't.

I know a guy that has a PB shop in Oklahoma City and he is good friends with and was in the military with the guy that designed the HALO and he said that it was in the design of the HALO to be able to do that. Also the dude at the PB shop showed me on his angel that it does work. He could get up to 7 ot 8 balls to shoot with the gun upside down with only about 20 balls in it to start so it dont have to be full. Ill ask him to make us a stupid little mov to prove it if he can. I seen it i believe it and so should you.....

Im sure you all have seen this but notice the guns used in these movies

Well, MINE doesnt do that and thats all there is to it.

OK, I have an almost brand new HALOb and I've got your back Squid...
the HALO does keep pressure on the stack and cone, BUT, that pressure depends on there being balls lined up on/in the cone. When you turn it totally upside down, the balls in the cone will fall out and then there will be no pressure at all on the stack- no feeding. It DOES work if you turn the HALO over only up to 90 degrees or so.

Thanks man, its not everyday somebody that the general AO populace likes agrees with me.

[zippy]

All of the disagreement and he just now tries it.

I just got my HALO and was intrigued by your guys little discussion so i tried it for myself, and i ahet to say it Squid but about four or five would pop out of the stack, maybe you only get one because your tension spring is weak because you have an older one.

But i just did it and it worked, Sorry

No, I tried it long ago in the thread. It doesnt do it. Its not outdated, its got new shells, and the newsoftware. Im NOT the only one who doesnt think it works, and for me it doesnt.

i can get only one shot when it is upside down. (virtfeed)

[mark_426]

ok, heres what i think. think of the halo as a warp. it pushes paint from a stack into a marker. if you dont fill the warp up (IE turning a halo on upside down) then it wont feed. the design of the halo SHOULD allow this to work. it would also depend if the eye sees the first ball and detects a miss in the feeding.. i dont know a whole lot about the halo, but what i do know makes me think it is possible...

i say we all just give it a rest, the majority here says it works, but if this keeps going it's gonna turn into 1 of those "my momma can beat up your momma" ordeals

It already has. I am not the only one who *knows* it wont work.

Well since many of us *KNOW* ours work, maybe there is some tiny difference we arent noticing here. Such as paintballs, I noticed heavily that others feed much faster than whatever brand (for ex. PMI vs Iballz, Iballz was MUCH faster). Maybe there is something we are missing

But nonetheless, it works for me, so therefore I *KNOW* it can happen, and apparently it does to other people also

I was being serious. If you are talking about the *'s though, thats cause you used them, but the paintballs thing... that was a serious suggestion.
