Champagne Fly iR3
Silver/Champagne/Bronze Fade Dark iR3
Smoke Halo B
68/45 Pure Energy OR 45/45 Nitro Duck Mega Reg
J&J Edge Barrels
Strengths:
- PERFORMANCE
The Halo will feed in excess of 22 balls per second. I did some impromptu testing of my own; Over 10 attempts, the Halo emptied 100 rounds in an average of 4.2 seconds (23.8 bps). It is simply the fastest loader available today. It is not humanly possible to outshoot this loader with any gun in semi-auto mode; There will ALWAYS be a ball chambered and ready to fire when you pull the trigger. End your chopping woes FOREVER!
- CUSTOMER SERVICE
Odyssey goes above and beyond the call of duty in supporting their customers. After a customer's initial purchase, they will correct any problem or replace any damaged shells free of charge. Whats more, they are available thru email and telephone to answer questions and address concerns. Odyssey will NEVER leave you without product support.
- BATTERY EFFICIENCY
I shot about 8-10 cases through my Halo B before the batteries needed to be replaced. A word of caution, when the Halo's low battery light comes on, replace the batteries IMMEDIATELY!
- UPGRADES from 'A' VERSION
The Halo B is now easier [than the Halo A] to turn on and off, its easier on paint, its quieter, faster and comes in a variety of colored shells. The battery drainage problem also seems to have been remedied in the B version.
Weaknesses:
- WEIGHT
While not very heavy in itself, the Halo B is heavier than any other loader available, due in part to the complexity of the force-feed mechanisms.
- PRICE
When I first bought my Halo B, it was about $140, although now they can be found for $100 or lower.
- LARGE FEED NECK
While its a good idea to allow players to size their feed necks to their individual markers, its quite bothersome to sand/melt/grind down the Halo neck to the correct size. I was forced to purchase a Dremel ($65) to properly sand mine down - I wasn't about to use sandpaper by hand.
- BROKEN SHELLS
I encountered an issue with my Halo shells cracking for apparently no reason. On several occasions, I observed damage to the loader even though it hadn't been hit, banged up or anything. However, Albert from Odyssey was MORE than helpful in getting my shells replaced and getting me up and running again. This seems to be an isolated occurrence; I haven't heard of many other people complaining about it.
Conclusion:
The Halo is the fastest loader in the world. Odyssey's customer service is second to none. If you are serious about maximizing your ROF while eliminating chopped paint, get the Halo B. You won't be sorry; there simply is no other choice.
dude the halo cannot be overshot becuase it is impossible to shoot a speed faster then 25 bps. It could cycle it but the computer knows only to shoot as fast as the loader. So this guy is bull sh*ting.
Not it's not, I have shot a dark angel and been chroned at 29bps. I had the Q-loader on it. So it really could outshoot the Halo B. But it is still an awesome loader.

after reading all of these reviews i still have one question.
why would you need to shoot 29 balls a second as opposed to 17bps.If all of you guys spent more time working on your shot than upgrading your boards and trying to shoot faster you may actually get better. Just a thought.
