HALO and Warp Feed (tube)

[raehl]

Well..

You can bring your hopper in closer to the gun if you run the feed hose up "through" the side of hte hopper. You can either dent the plastic in or cut a hole in it to accomplish this. Not terribly critical with the VL or Richochet, but the HALo has a very stubby front and hard plastic which makes it a little more imparative you do something to get the hose running "through" the hopper. The plastic is harder though so the melting trick doesn't work.

Does this help?

Halo guy, I have no idea what you were trying to show us. What Chris and the rest of us want to know is can it be drilled up front on the right side of the hopper and is there a space that will clear all the "works" that will bring that bottom tube "through" the Halo into the bottom of the Power Feed tube so the whole system will be tight and the hopper will be held onto the whole system with the tube. This MUST be done without a sharp bend but sbtle ones are OK. This makes everything stay all together, tucks the warp in closer to the Marker and eliminates hits directly on the tube. If this is done there is less than 2 inches of warp tube outside the set up. This is the preferable set up for Mag with Warp and we hope Halo. If you can do this it will sell more Mag owners and heck ALL Warp owners on the Halo to feed it.

well this might help coupled with the pic posted above. i had to very slightly dent the top of my revy to accomodate the elbow but you might not have to dent the halo at all with a setup similar to this:


the big dent you see in the side is from an attempt to run the hose straight up the side of the hopper and is not needed.

We do not want to use the 90 degree elbow like you did. We want to eliminate it if we can. Straight into the Warp feed direct if possible. Thats the best way. That would be sweat...

[raehl]

Right, although...

Better elbow than nothing, because as it stands, the HALO is oriented turned practically 45 degress out from the marker... which is unacceptable.

I'll try and get some pictures soon.

Oh boy do I miss spell check...well...not that it would have helped there would it? SWEET! sorry...

I guess the big question is can the hose but put through the hopper entirely or will you have to have to partially exposed, like the denting process but with a hole instead of a dent. It really all depends on how much stuff is in the bottom of the halo. What about bending the hoses as it travels through the Ball area kind like ---> ) so that it would enter in the top in the ball and an leave that area just above the stuff on the bottom.

I don't have a Halo so I'm just thinking of stuff from the pictures I have seen of it. If I'm completely whacked just say so, but if my idea works please give me a little credit.

Here's a pic of what I was suggesting. The pink line being the warp hose. I hope the pic comes out ok.

[raehl]

Well....

One option would be to just ixnay the battery compartment entirely and run the halo off of the warp feed, or relocate the batteries.... there's nothing that says the batteries *HAVE* to be below and in front since the holster comes out. Could duct tape them to the inside side of the WF for that matter.

i just thought what if AGD made a hopper like the halo(with permission of course) that was made specifically for the warp feed. then a spot where the hose can be placed through can come stock and then we could make it more compact.

there was talk of having Halo shells pre-dented long ago. Obviously nothing became of it. Denting or melting the hopper is the preferred method, when you drill it, you now run the risk of water or dirt getting inside your Halo. I'm not too fond of losing capacity of the Halo, but to have it fit better, would be nice.

i say dont dent it but make it taller and thinner and call them warp HALOs because if your hopper is sitting on the side of your gun then it doesnt matter how tall it is.
