i sold my 10 inch freak for an 8 inch J&J edge. i have absolutely noregrets, they are just as accurate as one another, only the J&J is simpler and isnt made by that evil SP company

Hey i have a Apache. I was warry of all the problems i was seeing with people at my local field having with their halo's. And i knew i didnt want an eggy. So i figured to go for hte Apache. Best decision i ever made.

Although some say they are a little on the uglier side. I have a matte blue imp, with black accent and a low rise, and with the black apache, the color scheme goes great adn so do the lines.

Also the hopper says 20 on the box. But it is around 17-18. The apache has a redesignzed battery door, well not a door, its more like a magazine. It does not come lose nor does it wobble at all. It only has 2 9-v batteries. And with the batteries is VERY light. I mean with paint is it about as heavy as an empty halo. Big plus. Also it has an LCD display on the back which u can have a game timer count down for you.

The inner's are quite kool. There is enough room for 190 balls, without packing them in too tight. Compared to the 150 (give or take) for a halo. Since this hopper is not force fed like a halo. If the batteries do go dead, which mine havent in over two months with lots of use, it acts like a gravity fed hopper. So no need for an extra 20 bucks for the rip drive. Next the inners have a Cup to them. Where the balls go into, so even if you have about 15 left, the motor isn't smacking the balls around the outside of the hopper. The motor has 4 blades, which are on two different levels so the balls dont get stuck and it will constantly feed.

The imp is almost completely custom and with vision on hitting 17 bps isnt that hard. So as i play back i shoot through more paint then the rest of my tema together, and i have never had this baby ship once, miss feed, or casue a chop.

Also, Deflections off of a halo??. .what,, i have never heard any one really talk about that as being a big factors in halo's. But as defleactions go for the apache. They are rare. But the apache does give irragular break. I have yet to have bigger then a nickle sized break on my apache because of the desigzn and sides.. except when shot dirrectly on the side. So it does help a little.

Best decision i have made. I would go with the halo or the apache, but now the apache is around $80 i think and a rip drive halo is $125 i think, so saving 50 bucks is well worth it for a pretty good hopper, never ahy probs, easy to clean, and dependable, great customer service.

how is that window holding up, from what I read it will pop out in about a year of use or crack from a direct hit. BTW my halo is coming already so your opinion is late.
Now as for a barrel system yes Kaners are great, but they are made by SM. And I would rather go to the source and get it from them with no label from another gun company.

ahhhhhhhhh not the Apache lol. anyways i would definately have to reccomend either the Reloader B as my first choice or the Halo B w/ rip drive as my second choice. there are no others.
