can someone give me any info on how some of the lower costing hoppers work on the impy, like the egg 2 or the reloader, cause some crap happened and i got a money shortage.... right now im running on a VL200, which sadly, seems to work well with just gaps here and there

BTW i have no vision

Evo II w/ Z-Board. Faster than a Halo, around $90.

the new board for the halo will let the halo go 35 bps

True, but it's an extra $35 [right?]

yeah, but so is the z board . . . o never mind i get what ur sayin, 100 bucks on an egg is faster than the same money you put into a halo. At least I think thats what ur sayin.

i have an evo 2 w/ z board. if i were you id wait and get a halo. i still outshoot my egg even with z board. it feeds fast but if you pull the trigger really fast on the first pulls then you will chop. it delays at the beginning.:(

the ricochet looks really ugly, ill have to admit, but i would go with a egg II, very good loader, just dont use lithium batterys with it,

You've said you're short on money, so of course the only loader that you COULD afford would be an Egg w/ Z Board which is around $90. I personally would either buy a used Halo B w/ Z Code or just get $20 more and buy a Halo B... but then again, I have had bad experiences with Eggs, and none with my Halos.

well the thing is, i may even have to go lower than that, i am selling my friends gun though and hes giving me $20 for that so i may be able to get an egg, as of now, my only choice is like reloader

then just got out and get it. A lot of people only use 12vts and reloaders because they dont go faster with their imps. for 50 bucks just get the reloader.

i like my q-loader a lot, feeds 100 rnds in about a second, get it and you'll never chop. buy the starter pack for 90$

q-loader looks ugly, seems harder to reload and i doubt it gets 100 rnds a sc

It's based on fast reloading time, that kills the reload time of pod to hopper. It may be ugly, but it's fast and reloads extremely fast. Get the facts straight, and it does unload 100 rounds in one second. http://www.qloader.com/

well.... why have i never seen anyone use them if their so good?

ive seen pics of pros usen them, but who the heck needs 100 bps, thats just wrong.

isnt the gun really unbalanced with a q-loader?

DragonX8806
04-25-2004, 03:49 PM
yes, you really dont want alot of wait near your barrel, it can decrease your accuracy.

i think its really pointless to have anything shooting 41 bps+ becuz thats just rediculous and not nescecary.

Apache!!!

I just field tested one, I was skeptical of it. BUT it kept up w/ my rat. I was consistently tapping out my board, hititng the capped rate of fire. No problems of feeding fast enough from the apache. I probably drained 3 hoppers a game (rec day) and it NEVER gave me a problem.

The apache is light, great profile and cheaper than a halo!

but it looks like crap, and buy a halo, u can upgrade to a victory board and be able to shoot up to 35 bps

halos actually look good.

Why spend the extra 20-30 for a Halo? They are finnicky, HEAVY, and have trouble sensing black paint!

the apache has a great profile and is cheaper.

Use the extra $ you save for paint or a eq. board.


Remember he wants one UNDER 100.


P.S. I think the apache's look pimp.

remember i live in his neighborhood and am friends with him, apaches are ugly, btw not many people use black paint.

halos are worth it.

I used a reloader on my impy before I got the vision and it worked fine....now i have a egg and it is perfect for me cause i shoot fast but not fast enough id need a halo or something more eexpensive.......It all depends between the reloader and the revolution....the revy is activated when it doesn see any balls in the feedneck and the reloader is sound activated so it is up to your preference......Ive had better expiriences with my reloader than a revy....But overall if you got the money get the egg cause you will need to upgrade ur hopper at some point.

i have a halo backman and havent had any problems shooting with a friends shocker 03 w/o vision

the led version is under 60 bucks and im not sure where but somewhere said its faster than the reloader

it has the tilt sensor, holds 200+ rounds, and is sound activated, so before you look at the reloader check the tsa out

Will you need ball detents if u get the halo?

IMAGINation
04-27-2004, 05:36 PM
the halo tsa is not force fed like the halo b so that shouldntbe a problem
its kind of like the revi with a paddle but has no eye, it loads after every shot hence the sound activation

but for a halo b i have heard of forcing 1+ balls into breach/barrel
