DeadlyWind's got a video

[nicad]

Re-built some of the insides and ran some more tests today.
I measured a 5 shot string in 149ms, or 33.5bps.. same old Halo. :)
Closest shot-to-shot was 28.3ms, or 35bps!!


Qloaders are tricky little suckers. Sure they will dump 100rnds in a second (I have tried it- very impressive to watch!), but to chamber one ball, ALL the balls have to be accelerated at the same time. I have not focused much on the Qloader tests, but at one time I did see a result at 37bps.

Here is a scope analysis taken from the tests today. This is NOT from the video. Each "burst" is a ball passing a simple microswitching (nice bounce eh??). :)



This is why paintball is still fun for me.

I find it sad that all the kiddies over at PBN started rumors that you had sped up the video because they saw 1 or 2 balls bounce around in the Halo.

Looks amazing. I'm not sure if I should hold off and wait for this or buy an Excalibur...

[CKY_Alliance]

knowing the quality of deadly wind products and great customer service..ill shoot one..might tear me away from my beloved matrices...how simple is the gun design to maintain?

[Pneumagger]

That video is sooo sped up

/sarcasm
//check out the PBN Thread
///not like I post over there

[FinchMan]

look, wherther or not you guys think it's sped up or not- It's going to be the fastest thing on the market when it's ready in the winter. DW/PBX are honest companies that produce rock solid parts and would have no reason to speed up a video and hurt the great name they made for themselves in the paintball industry.

No reason to hate a marker you've never seen, held, or shot in person. If you thinks it's shady, then don't ask mommy and daddy to buy it for you. Just go suck another one of planet eclipses nuts.

Nicad,
Very cool gun. I showed my son the video, question, is that a Halo Hopper or an Empire.... I let him read where you said it was a Halo, but he insists its an Empire. I said I would ask, not that it really matters.

Any idea when you will have this ready for the market?

Thanks

[master_alexander]

i think its an empire too... but halo is a generic name more or less..

that thing is awesome. when it comes out, im all over it.

i <3 deadlywind :)

The loader has history:
I purchased a batch when the Halo "A" first came out, and sold most on ebay. I kept one, #099.
A few years ago at a World cup I had Ody upgrade it to a belt drive and new board.
The world cup after that (year later) I had them upgrade it again I think to new board, who knows what else. Then earlier this year I got a Empire sound activated board from PaintballMaxx here.
Thus it is a "Reloader B" I guess?
I would love to get one of the V.35 or Cheetah boards and see if that ups it any more. :)

"The marker is willing, the loader is weak" :)

out!

[master_alexander]

nice. i just noticed youre in houston... cool... im not too far away.

if this marker comes out, are you going to get your own sub-forum on PBN? :)

[FallNAngel]

If you can wait a week or two, TAG should *FINALLY* release their V3 code for the Cheetah boards. At that time, I'll be sending in 2 boards to be warrenty upgraded. If you'd like, I can let ya borrow one for testing.

[master_alexander]

i bet this would be perfect with a sly barrel kit. all black. oohh... now i just need a nice light small hopper that also looks good.. hm..

[Pneumagger]

any word on preorders...
Howbout all preorders get a whisper barrel half price or something? To stick with the whole ULE package Idea and move some some early inventory?

Please post the preorder anouncement on AO like 24hrs before the nation

[murder-soul]

Nicad- Any info on when this will be released? I want one badly.
