What Loader is Best For BKO

[ImpYa]

Ive recently had sometime to do a loader test on my BKO this weekend and here is what i came up with.

The test consisted of 4 loaders...RicAK, 12Volt Revvy, eVoLution 2, and HALO B. All loaders were filled with 150 paintballs.

All loaders kept up fine when shooting around the 7-9 bps range. No dry fires and no double feeds.

I loaded the hoppers again, but this time I set my Chaos to 17bps and went to town.

The RickAK had 7 dry fires and 1 chop.
The 12Volt Revvy had 5 dry fires and 2 chops.
The eVoLution 2 had 1 dry fire and 1 double feed.
The HALO B had zero dry fires, 9 double feeds and multiple breaks due to the double feeds.

RETEST: HALO B /W Z Code = NO DOUBLE FEEDS

I would have to say that the eVoLution 2 is the best hopper feeding wise for the BKO. The RicAK and 12Volt Revvy in second and if I were you i wouldnt even consider the HALO.

If you have a RicAK or 12Volt Revvy i would just stick with it, but if your buying your first electronic loader i would say go with the eVoLution 2.

I hope this helps out some ppl new to the BKO and if you have any hopper information please contribute!

I'll contribute info about my empire reloader. I can empty an entire feed stack of balls without the loader activating because the gun is too quiet. I would agree with Impya's advice about the loader of choice.

IMPYA, I reallly apreciate you taking out your time and testing the loaders, it helped me to finally decide on what to choose and im going with the Egg. Can you do me a big favor and post a pic of your gun with ur mightymax and all. Im really interested in the mods on your gun.

I just sold my egg 2. I chopped and dry fired with it too much.

I used a friends halo b for a day and I ended up being able to rip off ropes of paint with no dbl feeds or chops.

Really? Hmm i tried the HALO on 2 BKOs and the results were horrible. Anyone else have good results with the HALO?

ImpYa

[Wolf PACK]

Was it a Halo or a Halo B? I notice a big difference between the two.

Maby that is it.;)

[Fade99]

It was a Halo-B

[Forsaken_Snake]

All you have to do to get rid of your problems with the halo is get new ball detents and it will be smooth sailing from there and you will never use any other Hopper :D

You cant get new ball detents for the BKO unless you have one on the first models. I wonder if goldie could add a second one if i sent my gun into him?

my Halo-a dosn't double feed but i do have blank and chops (i think it is the BKO).

[Mr. Kitty]

I shot an Eggy 2 on my BKO on Sat and I had no chops, dry fires, or double feeds the whole day! I think many people agree the Eggy 2 is the best hopper period not just on the BKO.

- Mr. Kitty :freak:

[Model98]

Hmm...this doesn't make it any easier...I am trying to decide between these 2 loaders (Halo B and Egg2), it seems like some people have had success with the Egg2 and others the Halo B...altho it seems like more people have had success with the Egg2.

OH the confusion of it all:crazy:

[Team Death Capt]

then look @ price

[gaps720]

what about the empire reloader? i know creeper said it doesn't work but has anybody else had experiences with the reloader? just wandering because i was considering it as alot of people say it works way better than a revvy. thanks -dustin

[Cracka_G]

Hey what about that other halo...the TSA loader....is that just pretty much a halo but a copy pretty much of the ricochet?

[ImpYa]

I would get a RELOADER. They seem to feed a little bit more faster than a Ric and are cheaper than a TSA.

ImpYa

[UberNo0ber]

no the TSA is not like the halo. It's gravity fed just like 12v or ricochet. Hey impya r u talking about the revolutions? They do feeed alittle faster but ever since brass eagle took over, all i've seen were broken feed necks. I have an AK ricochet and it works out fine for me. If u have the money get the halo B.

[ImpYa]

Im referring to the Empire Reloader. It looks like a revvy, but reacts a little faster and is way stronger.

ImpYa

[bsucaptainbilly]

i use an Empire Reloader and i love it. i do believe that it is a bit stronger than a ricco, but hey, i've never used a ricco, however i reall like my reloader and i reccomend it. it is usually cheaper than a revvy also. it reacts as soon as you fire. it is sound activated like the halo tsa, but it it doesn't change the way it spins by the way it is tilted like the tsa.

[Mr. Kitty]

Has anyone gone over to Warpig and checked out the Qloader? I think it looke pretty sweet especially how they're working on a mount to go right above your tank. The price is sorta scary though ($200)

[ImpYa]

Hey, guys...i tried out a HALO B /w TE Software and it performed flawlessly on my friends BKO, when normally it would double feed.

ImpYa

[Brock]

I know im kinda outa place here, but the only problem i have seen with halo's is double feeding problems. I dont know what type of ball stops the BKO has, but my JT only had a rubber one, and at first i double, tripple, and sometimes even quadruple fed. All that i had to do is put a small piece of paper between the rubber detent and the plate that holds it in. That pushed the ball stop in further so it would stop the balls from moving so much. Now, i havent broken or chopped a ball for like 2 and a half cases. Another advantage to the HALO B is that it ALWAYS has tension on the ball stack. This way, there is no delay at all. The eggII isnt the same way. It's eye has to see a gap, then it starts feeding.

[OneArmedScissor]

No one seems to mention the type of paintballs they're using, or the quality of paint.

[WARLORD11]

get the egg :blah:

[ImpYa]

I use fresh dusk, blaze, and kick'in

ImpYa

[TheBackMan]

Sorry to bring back a dead topic, but I thought I would get less flaming this way. The Warp feed puts less force on the piantballs than the Halo right? Then would the results be like the Eggy, or the Halo? Also, what does the TE do to make it not double feed? Does the Warp have something of this sort? Thanks!

[masterofpuppets]

this should be stickied.

[TheBackMan]

totally agree

[TheBackMan]

I recently asked a very wise man, and he told me that the Warp had a vibration sensor, and that is what makes the wheel spin. I was also told by someone with a BKO (I have one, but no nitro yet so I haven't fired her yet, ran a few cases of imaginary paint through her though lol) that the BKO has more kick than most high end guns like cockers and angels. If the Warp isn't sensetive enough to detect those markers than what is the use for it? I was also told that it would work if I put an intellifeed on it, but I'm not sure how to do that. any help is appreciated.

[AgentOrange]

So a Halo B w\Te software has no problems on the BKO?

And for the warp you can intelfeed it, I would head over to airgun.com and they have insructions how to intel feed a gun over there.

[sn toter]

I just got my BKO yesterday, slapped on my freak and drop and railed on it with a Halo B (z coded) I had no double feeds and one break, it was the last ball so it wasn't being pressured into the breach. I was pretty curious about this so I did a blowback test...yeah thats the brob with mine. Went ahead and ordered a vapor bolt tot ake care of that. All in all, except the last round, The halo was spectacular :)

[Docster]

Ah, Impya's definitive loader review :)

I have been using a Halo B with TE software on my BKO for about 4 months now. Prior to that I was using an Eclipse high-rise with an egg. The egg is a great loader for the BKO, but I felt I could reload faster with the Halo. (Still haven't gotten completely used to that Egg's clamshell door). Initially I would have a few ball skips with the high rise, so I swapped that for a A+ no rise. Haven't had any problems since.

So for the last 4 months:
Halo B with TE software
A plus no rise
03 BKO (running stock board)
stock bolt
o-ring ball detent without the macroline mod

I like to run my LPR lower rather than higher to reduce kick & chopping.
(Up till it cycles, then up a little more & set HPR for velocity)

No chops, no double feeds. Never ran out the Halo (I'm a tactical reloader). Have lent this gun out to many newbs for the day, without problem.

Recently got a Chaos board & SP ram, but haven't had playing time with these mods yet.

[ImpYa]

Wow...its been awhile since i wrote this review.

Im glad to see its still around!

ImpYa

[masterofpuppets]

im surprised it isnt stickied yet:|

[Orangecola87]

Gotta go with the egg

[Zewanah]

I use a ricochet 2k on my bko. The Richochet is awsome, no dry fire's at all. The thing really does deflect balls, because I havent been hit on it yet, and when I had a revy it did. Its so cool, and the lid on it makes it hold paint well. You could throw the hopper and it probobly wouldnt spill paint if the lid is closed. One great feature is the reload alarm, In the middle of play I sometimes dont think about paint consumption, So the "BEEP BEEP BEEP" tells me to pull out a pod, and a 140 fills it to the top. Its such an awsome loader...Oh and one great thing, It uses ONE 9v, and it lasts three cases, try that with a revy or reloader.

[Flaco305]

The Halo B with software would be the way to go...but it will dent your wallet a bit more than an EGG 2. I think for the price the EGG 2 would be the way to go. Unless you wanna wait and get the best. I myself got an Egg2. Its on the way. I will post how well i did with it. I have played with an Egg 2 on two guns besides the BKO ...a mag and angel...and i liked it ..one thing is the door...seems hard to open when you are under the hype of a game. No spring no nothing. It wasn't mine so i haven't had time to look at i with time.

[xbulletproof89x]

i would get the HALO-B with rip drive

[yoda101]

holy schmucks way to bring back an old thread

[Angelous]

How does the HALO act with the ball detent mod, you know the one where u use the macroline i heard this fixes the problem with the HALO.

[xbulletproof89x]

yes it does fix the problem

Flaco you know better then to bring back dead threads like that :finger:... :P

what are you talking about, last time replied in this thread was in december...:rolleyes: :P

[gomster]

Did you like not look at the date or something?

[Flaco305]

First, i was not the one that intially brought the thread up.

Second, whats the big deal?

The big deal is Caleb will come in here and be like :finger:.

[Flaco305]

no biggie..i still wuv ju!

[JoeSmoe10]

Try a no rise for the halo, high rises are supposed to be really bad with double feeding.

[n00biee]

So techinically what's better?

HALO B w/ zcode

or

HALO B w/ TE

[paintballhead5]

z code is way better

ZCode is better.

I did this review a long time ago.

[gomster]

Whats the difference between the TE and Z Code?

[ImpYa]

Z has more push than TE. The reason Z Code can get away with upping the speed and not having to worry about loader chops is because it is anti-jam software.

If the loader senses a jam the Z Code backs up the motor to unjam the loader.

It was kinda hard to understand cause I saw TE there.
