Evolution 2! any opinions!?

[chasden]

I been using an Egg for almost two years now and I have to say I it's been a really positive experience. Faster and better looking than my old revvy, and holds about 200 balls. I just bought a second Egg to replace my old one, and i noticed the new one has thicker plastic around the screws (good) and the metal lid screws have been replaced with plastic ones (bad). I don't think you can go wrong with an Egg -- and at $70 or so the price is right.

I've owned SEVERAL eggys, none of which have failed me. My hopper of choice. I chose it over a Halo. The weight was set to the back of the gun, keeping it balanced, rather than having all the weight in the front of the gun making it very heavy and unbalanced.

An Egg II even with a Z Board are NOT force feed loaders as they still rely on gravity..there is a slight pulse in the software and due to the soft padles this imparts a small amount of pressure on the ball stack but nowhere enough to be called a force feed loader. I own one and I still got gaps in the feed so went straight back to my Halo. The strange lid opening aside as I could have got used to that but not the lack of feed rate. The weight differences are slight but then I do use Lithium batterys in my Halo and despite the increased costs of these batterys they last way longer than others so that evens the cost out.

The halo for me is out of the question, ive heard and seen to many horror stories from them that the last thing i would want to deal with on the field is having problems with my hopper. But i have seen when they actually work that they are awesome! The price is just a little too high right now for me. I plan on going with the Ricochet because i dont plan on shooting 20bps without sweetspotting anytime soon. Unless someone wants to give me 325$ for an x valve

If you buy an egg, make sure to buy alot of replacement parts (battery doors, lids, shells, feednecks, etc.) I've broken all of these multiple times. Finally gave up and got an Apache. No problems since then.

never broke mine, ever. but I like my halo better

I've been using my eggo for a little less than a year with no problems. Somewhere on here the is a thread where BlackVCG talks about some minor mods to make your egg live longer. They include sanding the little + shaped things on the battery door to lessen the pressure the batteries put on the door, shortening the feedneck to decrease the leverage the loader has on the neck (cuts down on neck breakage) and removing the springs on the lid to help prevent lid breakage. I did the first two but left the lid springs on and so far have had no problems. The y board seems to keep up with my 3.2 emag or my eblade just fine.

there very slow, very weak plastic, ugly, just not good at all, get an apache or a halo

I don't know... them Yboards are pretty damn fast. I been using eggys for all types of electros, feeds nicely. Apache are slower and LOUD. Halos are heavy, they also put they weight near the front of the gun.

Z-Boarded Egg2's are great Back-up hoppers to Halo B's. Although the Halo is a bit heavier, it is definitely more reliable to the egg2. The Egg2 that a few team mates use have, changed shells and battery lids and lids a few times already. If that was my Egg2, I would have sold it and bought a Halo by the 1st time I changed all 3 exterior parts of the egg2.

But thats just me, get what ever you think is worth it.

That is not true. I own both an Apache and a Egg with Z board. The Apache feeds 2 or 3bps faster constantly than a Z boarded Egg. Also, it's not loud. You must be thinking of some other Ricochet loader. Either way, I'm selling both and getting a Halo B or Empire Reloader B. Neither the Egg with Z board or the Apache is fast enough for a Viking with WAS.

i had a halo, apache, egg, empire reloader, the apache was faster/lighter/more consistent than the egg, also a Y boarded egg isnt fast at all, mabey a consistent 14bps? up to 16-17 bursts and the halo is heavy and weight the gun funny, but so does the egg with all the weight of the paint on the back, the egg also causes most guns to have more kick becasue off all the weight in the back, and the extra speed of the halo is DEFINATELY worth the extra weight

[1ofkind]

Eggy 2 hacks the job, halo does it pretty we'll. I think the real weakness of a eggy is fast sudden bursts. I feel its because this hopper is a gravity feed hopper and will begin at 12 bps then prob increase to 18 - 19 2 secs later. Apposed to the halo which has forcefeed and actually feeds faster on bursts (up to 55 bps.)

If your really into shooting over 14 bps then the eggy2 will let you down it you dont have somekind of antichop method. Other than that for 70$ your crazy not to buy one over a halo if your low on cash!

ive never heard of this apache loader. Does anyone have any pics? is it force fed? who makes these? thanks

yes it is force fed

and here r some pics of it,

[ilikePB]

yes it is force fed

No it's not. It feeds almost identical to an Egg. It just pushes balls into the feed tube, it does not put force on them, I know, I have one.
