AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
I think most people who know their Halos steer away from the paint that the IR cant see. I've had 3 halos, and none of them have had any issues. The one Ive seen burn up was being used with black paint, a big no-no. I think the jury is still out on the long-term effectiveness of the Halo B reloader, though innovation in the industry is always a good thing.
No skillz, a break beam eye would be less effective than the IR reflective eye. The break beam would only start the motor when it detects a gap in the feedneck. The relfective IR senses ball stack MOVEMENT and starts the motor before a gap is ever formed.

Talk is cheap, and that's all you can do. I review the Empire B loader for everyones edification and you decide to make a smart a$$ comment. Go back to PBN and pretend to be cool there, because there are plenty of people in this forum that have real Halo problems that want to know more about other alternatives.
And I will take that shoehorn back because you need the Jaws of Life to get your head out of your a$$.

um if u realy had that much cash you wouldnt bother arguing over which loader is better ud have one designed for u by the best and brightest paintball minds in the world unless u urself arent that bright

Wow. I don't know if being banned is a bad thing. I came here to escape AO, and then I see intelligent posts like...
Originally posted by Tron Did you have to show them your ******* card before you bought the loader? Because I am interested in getting one of these loaders but I put mine through the wash.
What was that about? Did it add to the discussion? Did it accomplish anything, or did you just think you were being funny?
Maybe it's funnier if I say it to my face. Since you live in Socal, I personally invite you to come to the next AO day at SC Village and see if you can get me to laugh.

Why don't you read some of the post instead of jumping on the flame bandwagon. Or do you need your own set of Jaws of Life?
And this one. This one gets the Darwin award...

I don't think I need to comment on that one.
Now if you little flamers can leave this thread, maybe there are people who have real questions about the Empire.
Originally posted by SlartyBartFast What's the point of having different feed speeds? Don't you want the loader to feed a fast as absolutely possible so that you don't chop/miss during your quickest trigger pull or however fast you marker is set to fire?
If the hopper is too fast it can break the paint or push the paint past your detents.
Load, ban me if you like, but if you read all the posts you know where the trouble started.

Why? The trip tab works on a Rico Apache. Every time the ball trips the tab it agitates. Why not use that to detect motion? Maybe a breakbeam eye isn't the best option, and I threw it out as a crude suggestion, but how about the little flip tab like the Apache? It doesn't care what color paint you use and won't stop working if you blow a ball up and splash into the feedneck.

Yes and all your posts were creative, informative answers. I would have no problem saying it to your face. I did read it and you started out with flaming the HaloB. Good way to be objective while reviewing something. You put down the competitor which people pay updwards of $120 for in the first line, then expect people to take the review serious? And you were the big man when Mindflux posted right? You left it alone and didn't get into with him...oh wait you did.
I just call them like I see them.
Glad you like your reloader and I was actually planning on getting one but the priming and turning it on upside down is not for me. I did have a motor burn out and I sent it back to Odyssey they repaired it, updated the software and shipped it back on their dime. Everyone I know has a Halo and that's been the only problem, except maybe for cracked shells after repeated dropping.
p.s. If I go to a meet can I get a ride in one of your Ferrari's?

What is there to be objective about? Halo's burning out motors is a common problem. You said so yourself, and since I have one too, how the hell do you take that personally? Until now we didn't have a choice for force fed hoppers.

What's worse? Sticking up for yourself, or taking a shot at someone you don't know when you're not involved in the discussion? I think the Pot is blacker than the kettle today...

Yes, and that problem is why Empire has no trouble selling these reloaders. At least till something better comes along.

Don't encourage Stevo. I feel sorry for him as it is.
