HALO B, my first field report!

[FalconGuy016]

Hey everyone,
I am not sure why I am doing this, I guess im extremely bored ... but today, I played some illegalball at my friends house and got to use my Halo on my mag for the first time ever! My first impression: Great. If thats all you need, exit this thread now, more details following

When I first put on my new amazing cool halo (which is not that heavy as it is generally claimed to be, I mean its HEAVIER, but not heavy) I was worried that it seemed a little high on my PF mag. I then realized a 12v is almost exactly as high, but with the flat bottom of the electronics/motor area of the hopper it looks like the hopper is actually shorter than the Halo, which just slopes upwards. Today in the woods, I found the halo most useful (probably more useful in the woods than speedball; not talking about the speed of the hopper though). It gave me the advantage to shoot my gun at any angle, after just running around and jumping and running, and prevent ball breaking I dont have level 10, but I have never chopped, even with monthes old big ball and todays team colors. By far the greatest advantage was shooting at any angle. It actually plays a big part in dense woodsball if you really take advantage of it (most people I see dont). There are just so many more possibilities of shooting points in the woods than speedball, which basically offers you a very distinct, uninterrupted line where you are either there, or not.

All in all the halo was great, did everything I asked, and ... was great lol
A++

My elbow kind of sucked though, slid around on the hopper and gun, didnt fit right on the hopper. My good elbow was shot to death and broke

yea, i dig my halo too. i never realized exactly how much i needed it untill i bought it. when i was usingmy ricochet i would hear my lvl 10 kick usually once or twice a game, if not more. but my 1st day out w/ my halo i didn't hear my lvl 10 peep a word. i don't know about the whole shooting at any angle, although i don't doubt it would work to a degree. the only part i saw anything like this was when i was in the snake, and i was crawling on my stomach, i shot 3 (which normally i don't think 3 would be able to get out) w/ my gun "ghetto style". another thing i noticed about it that would prolly back that claim up a bit is when you take off the hopper. people complain about it spilling all over, but if you take it off upside down, it will actually bobble a ball up and down (almost all the way out of the feed neck). i give the halo a pretty good rating as well

I like to impress my friends and hold my E-Mag upside down and rip 6 or so shots. Halo's are great

Perhaps, but many do not know of it yet, and he only wanted to be helpful. Besides, as he stated, he's bored.


Now go be a poopy-head someplace else

I assume you have a warp? If so, you dont need a HALO to do that, and if you dont, your full of crap

[Methos]

eh? with a powerfeed you pop the halo on an elbow, and you can fit 7 balls in the neck and PF. why would he be lying?

[-=Squid=-]

A gun cant shoot 6-7 balls upside down without a warp. If I am wrong somebody please slap me, and prove it.

Squid,

First off get a Halo then talk smack. I can, and have many times, turned my center feed EMAG with Halo b upside down and fired 5-6 shots. One has to know how a Halo works before inserting foot into mouth.

[shartley]

Yes, they can shoot short amounts of balls while upside down... it has to do with them force feeding the balls that are between the feeding mechanism and your marker.

Think of it sort of like those old popping balls kids toys that when you roll them across the floor it pops the balls up. Just reversed.

(Note: that is not exactly how it works, but a good visual. )

Squid you rooking cookie you just got owned!

1) I have a blue HALO B and have had it since they were released, and even with the new board.

2) SHartley wouldnt own me.

3) I CANNOT turn a halo upside down and have it feed. It wont do it. Hell, I just tried with paint leftover from a tourney this weekend. Doesnt work. Thats a load of crap. When you turn a halo upside down and shoot, you can get a max of 1 shot to come out. Owned?

[Frank (the spank)]

Dude... I do it all the time.

Do you have an old Halo or is it working properly? Maybe it depends on the gun setup... ::shrugs::

I can usually fire about 5 rounds upside down on my E-Mag.
