| Review: |
I bought this hopper at the world cup at Orlando. i took it home and went to play that week but first i had to sand it down i went and played a day never chopped once constant 15bps then at the end of the day i went home and took the hopper of my maker
and that's when my feed-neck broke but i was fine because i shipped it to Odyssey and they fixed it |
|
| Conclusion: |
I do recommend this hopper if you cant shoot over 15bps but the feed necks suck that's way my rating is an 8 |

| Review: |
this gun has a tilt and sound sensor it loads fast and I have heard the company has great customer service. I have seen no more flaws than this. When you lean left the paddles turn right. When you turn the other way the paddles do the opposite. I think this is a great buy because it works for me I hope you find this review helpful. Please private message me if you have any questions |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy it, it is a great deal and it has a one year warranty. |

| Review: |
This thing is great! This thing keeps up with my gun perfectly. I only experienced one chop on full auto in testing and that was because I forgot to turn on the hopper. I had no problem with the feed neck on my gun. Great for auto guns. I had no chops the whole day and it was a perfect fit. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get this if you experience frequent chopped paintballs or just want a kewl looking hopper. |

| Review: |
This hopper is very nice if you need to shoot 13 bps (this is as fast as gravity can feed). This after all is a gravity fed loader and it pushes the balls to the hole and the gravity pulls the balls to the bolt and the marker fires.
Anyways back to the point, this loader keeps up with 13 bps, but remember to turn it on otherwise you will find yourself dryfiring. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Once again this loader feeds 13 bps max, it is a very good product and really has no faults and for that i give this product a 10. |

| Review: |
ooo ah TSA- tilt sound activation. I bought this for my tippman 98 and it works just fine. Now if you had a high End marker you'd prolly be screwed if you bought this. I played some woodsball with it and it held up just fine. Bout a week later i put the halo on my omen while i was chronoing and adjusting my cam arms. I got the halo to go around 15 bps before the marker started to chop.
Overall u get a good loader for the money.If u have a low end marker like a spyder or tippmann you'll go through many cases of without ever chopping.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
If you play with a low end gun. Or dont shoot past 14 bps, then this loader is perfect for you. I use it on my tippmann 98 w/response and it keeps up just fine. |

| Review: |
Strengths-
1)The Halo Backman LCD is the hopper you want to buy if your looking for if you have a fast gun. It keeps up with my imagine (not too fast but 13bps) very well.
2)The magnetic lid helps so you don't have to be trying to lock a hopper lid after reloading under fire.
3)The tilt sensor is helpfull to not expose as much of your self. You can literally have your gun sideways and the paintballs will still be feeding, whether your leaning left or right, the agitator just spins with the tilt.
4)The sound activation helps so you don't have a motar running while your creeping up on someone in scenario, it runs when you shoot.
5)This hopper has nemerous settings on it such as motar duration(how long the motar spins on one shot), shot counter, game timer, sensitivity and motar speed. All of these can be adjusted to your gun and liking.
6)The low price of $50 for such a nice hopper is definatly worth it.
Weaknesses-
1)The HALO stickers on the side fall off very easily.Most think it won't matter but they look really good and just a little super glu can fix it.
2)The wors weakness i've found so far is the cracking. I played one paintball round with it and it hade cracks every where. It was only hit once though.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
The HALO backman LCD is a great buy for it's price. Those cracks that i mentioned were easily fixed after sending it into odyssey (it was free). Since then i've had numerous shots to the hopper and no cracks ( i might have had a defect) so i give it 10. |

| Review: |
This loader was like 70.00 at the local shop and it was as much as the led so i got this one. I used it like the next day and it was amazing if i didnt have it it would have been not as fun. It feeds fast About 14 bps fast enough for my piranha so its cool.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
BUY it and use it well if u have a gun that doesnt need an egg or a halo B |

| Review: |
I upgraded to an electric marker so I bought this hopper on the net. I have been very pleased with it thus far. It holds a lot of paint, which minimizes your need for reloading. It is very efficient with its battery usage. I have yet to replace my batteries. It keeps up with my spyder at 13 balls a second without chopping.
My feedneck has a crack in it. It appears to have retained its structural integrity, however, it is a cause for concern. I fear that it may rupture in the near future and hinder my ability to play. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I feel that this is a very good hopper for the mid range player. I recommend it to all who need an electronic hopper. |

| Review: |
It's great fast hopper. I loved it!! it shot continuoulsy so i dide have to shake it around like a vl 12v every once in a while. It's lcd so I can look at the shot counter and see how many times ive shot and determine whether or not to use a pod. The only problem with it was that it's feed neck is prone to break and the stickers come off easily. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy it!! |
