VL Envy

If a halo is too heavy for you, get a double 9v mod thing.

yeah it took me and some friends about 10 mins to make 3 of them and they take alot of weight out of the halo

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

or get one of those rechargeble batt packs, I think ive played about 3times now without recharging it and its still going just as strong as ever. plus its 1/4lb lighter than 6AA's

You know, i saw a "turbo" pack for the Halo B somewhere on a pop-up website, i can't remember what it was, but it was 12 volts. Anyways, my thoughts on the envy-i don't really think that it feeds 21 bps, and the profile is kinda big so you'd probably get a lot of hopper hits. If it was up to me, i'd definetly go with the qloader since it's been PROVEN to feed up to 31bps or higher, plus it looks cooler and you can put it alot of places, with the custom mounting thingy-ma-jig.

To me it's a lighter weight HALO that feeds a bit slower. It's a force feed hopper with something like a JT Speed collar feature. You just insert the pod into the loader to reload it. So I would say it's not really anything like a Q-Loader.

HALO with Speedcollar feature.......

how is that not like a qloader...

Q-Loaders are pod based, and you just shove a pod into a socket to reload. The Qloader is just better in that it can be stuck anywhere on the marker, doesnt need batteries, and feeds at 31+ bps. =D Only advantage this has over the qloaders are the 140 ball capacity.

HALOs are heavy. Too many friggin batteries in that thing....

Wow. I guess I must have really big arms.

Reloader B's only got 4 if you're having trouble lifting your marker.

It's not even a HALO. It's a clip based Eggo. It has that quasi forcefeed system. It's really not totally forcefeed. I can never understand how they justify saying forcefeed. It just uses impellers like any gravity feeder.

I suggest you start hitting the weights. I hate when people complain a paintball gun, hopper.. is heavy. If it is to heavey then start lifting weights

[Big Weapons]

I hate it when people tell other people to "go work out" because they feel their guns are heavy. Weight is sometimes an issue, especially if you snapshoot frequently. You want to be able to retreat your gun behind the bunker as quickly as possible, and a heavy hopper doesn't help with that.

You can't reload until the pod is empty. No flexibilty.

How is that really any different than (many) of the loaders out there that can only hold like 10 balls more than a pod?

If you say it's gravity, then explain to me why the feed neck isn't DIRECTLY below the impeller blades????

If it was gravity, the paintballs would have to fall straight down. Since the paint has to travel foward towards the hole in the neck, it's force fed.

Same idea as the HALO.

Look at the picture of the impeller in relation to the feed neck.

[jewie27]

Why would you say that you can't reload your hopper until the pod is empty? It looks like you can just pull the pod out anytime you want.

I am still waiting for the Tripod to come out. Then you would see some carzy back man with a 2 foot high gun.

"Includes new flexible multi-blade propeller "

i dunno...if it feeds 21 Bps. has the word PROPELLER.... and it cant be all that felxible if it has to feed that paint fast. Sounds like a Blender.

The extra weight of the halo is nothing compaired to it's extra speed. That's why people say you should work out if it's too heavy for you.

If you feel that the extra bps isn't worth moving 2-4 extra ounces behind your bunker then go with the Revy or something lighter I guess.

Ricochet Apache is the best of both worlds. With the new 2005 motor upgrade, my Apache puts out 20 bps and is a half pound lighter than a HALo. Also a quarter pound lighter thana Evolution II. It's also the only motorized loader on the market that can be used as a standard gravity fed hopper if the batteries die, or board blows out. You don't need some nonsense product like the Rip-Drive, you just shake it.
