side mounted halos?

[Jotsy]

so i was noticing all the recent warp threads and it got me thinking about what could be done to actually improve the warp design, and then it hit me. why do we need the warp at all? why not just design a bracket that can mount a halo on the side of the marker and then run the warp hose straight off the halo feedneck. has anybody tried this?

if you wanna take it one step further, you could even redesign the halo shell so that the feedneck is pointing forwards (or straight up for that matter) rather than down. Maybe even mod the motor or the gears for more torque (not necessarily speed) to get that extra push to get the balls going upwards.

this way, it shouldn't be any heavier than a marker with a regular halo on it...

what do you guys think? anybody have any extra long lengths of warp hosing lying around and willing to try this out?

i know what your talking about, somone go dig up the patent application for pics/ect

I think you are on to something.

My halo has an adjustor on the board that increased torque. I bet if I cranked it, it would be able to do it. No warp hose though

Or mod it so that the feed neck comes right out the side and mount it to a locking feed neck on a warp body.

like this...



EDIT: oops this is the left handed model. reverse image for us normal folk

omg! i was just thinking about this. yea i have one part way started. i'll have pic up soon of it

[ShadowNife]

be ready for the flames that are going to say it's the higher end version of the a-5 loader everyone despises


I think mounting it like a warp on the side would be better in terms of balance. If there were shells and trays modded to work with this, I think it would hit off.

Thanks, I am the posterchild of lazy. In fact I am too lazy to go to sleep right now.



edit: the backwards words were getting to me...

i like this model (i shoot lefty)..... but would it work? would there really be a point?

edit; just think of how unbalanced this would feel......

[Jotsy]

yes! thats exactly what i was thinking.

it wouldn't feel any more unbalanced than a warp already is. plus, since its basically just a halo with the feedneck pointing in a different direction, it shouldn't be any more heavier than having a regular halo up top.

besides, nobody said it HAD to go on the side.... maybe we can mount it under the barrel some how? or over the tank maybe?

[buzzboy]

This could also become the a5 cyclone. If you mounted it directly onto a Warp Left/Right ULE body you would have a clear sight down the top of the gun like some people want. I most definently want to see somebdy try iths out.

[Phantom_Mag]

Or a Q-loader!!!

[Chronobreak]

ive tried this myself

the halo doesnt feed well against gravity

while it WILL work, unles you were to intell it or something your gonna have mad lag to worry about all the time

[Jotsy]

yea i was wondering how the eye logic would behave too. alternatively you could use a reloader B with the sound activated mechanism.

...whats funny is, this is the exact same idea that was the topic of a thread on here two years ago, when i first joined this forum.
