    Yay! I Only broke 3 feedneck elbows today!!

    I have a minimag body and I Halo B, therefore I have to use a elbow. The halo is just too damn heavy and keeps snapping the new style plastic elbows. I expect to have problems with elbows, but I have gone through 6 in 3 weeks. And before you ask, no I only tighten them finger tight, and I use a little dishsoap on them to help it stick. I dug out the last of my old style (semi rubbery) viewloader elbows and if this thing breaks Im going to cry. Anyone have the same problem? Am I alone?

            Sounds odd, but have you tried a VL elbow, the new ones? those things are pretty beefy, opposite of pretty much everything else they make. Have yet to break one, even after cranking the screws with a screwdriver, then beating on it..hard..

                He might have other guns, that was a pointless comment. Anyways, try using a 9v on your halo. It won't cut off too much weight but a little might do a lot.

                  :rofl: My friend broke his revvy's lid today sliding into the Airball bunkers. My reloader is still in one piece and it's older.

                    Ok i'll switch to 9v and I just orderd the allen atomic.


                    On a semi related note, A ball went straight through my friends hopper today, in one side and out the other. It was a cheapo "fuel" hopper but it was quite funny at the time.

                      ehh, running a Halo off a 9v isn't a good idea...

                          The same thing happened to me when i was waiting for my xvalve to come in, i got my halo and used it on my spyder, ick, i didnt have feeding problems but i dropped my halo 6 times in a total of 4 games, lost about 200 rounds of paint and broke my elbow. But i solved it by getting a ULE, but yes in your case what i would do is either get a ULE or an egg.

                              ever thought of using the none adjustable elbows im talking no screws just straight plastic...you might have to sand the halo down a bit but im yet to break one as my brother has gone through three adjustables...just a thought also im not lugging a halo around for i did think that that was too much for my single trig classic now my x will be getting one soon!!!
