    Halo B on a ULE RTP? Overkill?

    I have a couple questions for you experts out there. I will be getting the ULE Custom here soon with a ULT and have a few hopper questions. I have an old Revolution 9V and wonder if I will be outshooting it in a week or 2. A friend of mine has an egg 2 but it seems very cheaply built. He has replaced several lids, battery case is breaking etc -

    The HALO B is rated at 23BPS? I know the RTP will shoot that fast "theoretically" but if I get fast, how fast will I really be able to shoot this gun? Will a regular Halo due, or even my old REVVy? Anyone own the RTP? What do you use?

    Thanks in advance

    you should be ok if you get a 12 volt revvy or an empire reloader. You will definatly outshoot a 9 vt rev. Its quite possible to outshoot a 12 vt too, so a halo might be the way to go for you, depending on how fast your fingers are.

      revvy should be fine, Just upgrade to an Xboard, if you havent already. Ive never seen an RTP that can do 23bps, the fastest mags ive seen are xmags, emags, and the new hair trigger frame on a mag. a ULT can do a good 14(around there, but you cant walk the trigger, probably around 9) bps, so the revvy should work just fine.
      If I see one more "What happened to smart parts" thread, I will kill Adam Gardner. You have been warned.

          After a little practice you will absolutly be able to outshoot a 12V revy let alone a 9V.

          If you are going to spend the money to get something faster than a revy you might as well spend the little bit more and get the best. Halo! *IMHO*

            Outshooting a 12v is pretty easy.

            A HaloB would be overkill,but still be a good choice.You could also go Egg2 or Rik Apache for a pretty good match up.

              I used to outshoot my revy all the time (thank god for level 10), but I got a warp, so problem solved

                One of the things I really like about the Halo is that if I tilt my gun at a funky angle, I know I'll still have a ball fed. I have a tendancy to do that alot when I'm playing up front. I know with level 10 you won't chop, but you may not get that first critical shot off, instead you chuff.

                The Halo is a trade off between weight and loader speed. Decide what is more important to you. You may want to consider a empire reloader too.

                  Everyone tells me that with the ULE package including intelliframe, this will be one of the lightest guns out there. I hate to put the heaviest hopper out there on top of it...but maybe it doesn't make that much of a difference? I haven't looked at any hoppers but egg's revvy's and halo - I have some connections to get those 3 relatively cheap.

                            My kid is definately outshooting a 12V revy with a ULT RTP. Its got a logic frame on it but still... its definately not keeping up under real REAL heavy fire. We are indeed outshooting it. That only takes about 13 bps to do that. We sanded down the neck of one of the Halo B's for it and it's fine now. That is keeping up. So we figure he is hitting around 15 - 17 or so BPS easy.


                            AGD, where we are so good we can do it with only ONE tube!

                              if you will be able to shoot fast a 12 volt revy will hold up just fine with a 12volt xboard at least it has for me... but if you try going to the medium or largest spring your going to get nothing but chuffs and 2-4 balls coming out of the barrel at once

                              at least thats the case for me and i am running a tuned level 10 so if your able to fire farely fast 12bps + you should probably get a faster hopper then a revy i know i have to
