Review:
I purchased this and it worked for about 5 minutes. The power button worked intermittently, the hopper shut off after 5 minutes, and it made a rattling noise. I called them and the technician treated me like a two year old and he made excuses for the rattling and function. He said they have problems with the eyes, and that they have made some with a larger shaft size (the reason for the ratteling) I asked to cross ship one on my credit card and was polite to him but he said I would have to send mine in for repairs even though I had a tourney that weekend. Spoke with the dept. manager and he refused to cross ship, he said that is what the warranty is for. I had this thing for 1 day!! He said they do not even have any new ones and no longer sell them direct. Also they were having problems with the dealers. Yeah right blame it on everyone else.
Conclusion:
I am convinced that the only people who buy these are those with deep pockets. Stay away from this company, they do not care if they make a faulty product or treat their customer badly! Buy the Empire Reloader B, better company very similar product(better quality and service). I would have given this a higher mark for design, but their customer service was very poor.

Halo B (Overkill on a mech cocker, but who cares? Its off my other gun anyway...)
Strengths:
-Speed
-Force Feed
-Spring Burst Feed
Weaknesses:
-Weight
-May jam past weaker detents
Review:
Well..I got the Halo B after the gear driven A failed miserably...The B is a large improvement over the A, not only in the fact that it is faster, but it doesnt catch fire.
With a drop test and fresh Nickel Cadnium batteries, my halo will do 24 BPS. With the ingenuative spring feed design, a Halo B will do 51 BPS for anywhere from 10-15 Balls. Impressive. The shells are nice and strong, and are difficult to break. There is some weight to it with the 6 batteries, but regardless, it is not a pain in the to carry around.
The reflective eye may not be the best at detecting dark shelled paint...but no biggy.
Conclusion:
Very Fast, very reliable loader..buy it for its speed, its looks, and its reliability, and most of all, tourney proven performance.

Review:
Strengths
Very fast - This is the fastest real hopper availible. Mine can empty 140 rounds in just over 6 seconds stock.
Well made and tough - My friend Chris's jumped off my autococker, fell to the concrete, broke all the paint in the hopper. He picked it up, swabbed it out, and it was just fine. The shell is fairly thick, so it can withstand long falls without a problem.
Battery efficent - Feeds 10,000+ balls on 6 AA batteries, which is pretty good efficency.
Weaknesses
Somewhat heavy - Not the lightest hopper, but the performance you get it well worth it.
IR sensor - With oily paint or dark paint it may have problems feeding, but just don't use crap paint in it and you won't have any problems whatsoever.
Price - With rip drive it's $115, but once again, its worth the money.
Conclusion:
Overall a great hopper... very, very nice. I reccomend it above all other ones because it does not misfeed if maintained/used properly.

Strengths:

Weaknesses:
Balls don't go through when the batteries are dead.
Review:
It can do over 20 balls a second. It can hold around 180 balls which is nice for speed-ball. The new Halo B with the Z board has an anti jamming program so the motor doesn't fry. You can get it in a lot of different colors so it's good if you care about that stuff. It can keep up with almost any gun that you have (not some angels). It can keep up with bursts of 30 balls a second though. The batteries kind of wear out a little fast but energizer E squared work the best ( they are a little expensive). It is sweetest loader that you can get. I don't recommends it for a new player because you shouldn't have a gun that fires that fast in the first place. I would definitely recommend that you buy it if you have a gun that does over 15 balls a second. Otherwise buy a Reloader.
Conclusion:
If you r able to spend that much money on a hopper get it. It's the fastest in the world. Keep spare batteries with u.

Review:
I bought an E-grip for my gun so i wanted to get a faster hopper, I originally wanted to get a BT-rip clip, but i decided on the Halo B because it is faster and cheaper as well. I got home and tried to put it on.....way too big, loosened the feed..... still too big :|. So i ended up spending about 15 minutes sanding away at the hopper before it finally fit, but now it fits perfectly. I was very happy about how it looked on my gun, but i did have a little trouble getting used to turning it on and off, you quickly press the button to turn it on, then hold it to turn it off. I drop tested it and it will drop 180 rounds in a little under 8 seconds so its pretty quick, not the fastest one out there anymore, but fast enough for my gun. When i tested it in my back yard i put about 500 rounds through it and i didn't chop a single ball.
Conclusion:
Very fast, reliable, annoying to install and tricky to work at first, but other than that a very fast hopper that will get the job done right.

Review:
I've had the halo b for a while now and have never had a problem. It has always been able to keep up with my guns. Like I said before also, it has a thick shell which makes it withstand a lot. Trust me, I've dropped it before.
Conclusion:
I love this hopper. The only bad part is price and the amount of batteries. If you have enough money to buy this hopper, you should.

Review:
You probably think I was an idiot to buy this loader for a low end marker. But it was worth it. I think. Every time I shoot, there is guaranteed to be a ball in front of the bolt. The quantum fed so slow most of the time I shot the balls were halfway loaded, and would chop more than shoot.
What's good about the Halo B, as I said before, the belt drive force feeds the paintball (or paintballs) down the feedneck. There are no gaps, and the thing feeds constantly until there is pressure and all of the balls are down the feedneck and ready to shoot. This hopper also has a low battery indicator and a one hour auto-off. (I don't know if other hoppers do, but I haven't looked hard enough). It holds 180 balls.
On the field, this thing works pretty well. It doesn't wobble too much when you run, and isn't too loud. You can shoot as fast as you want (I don't know anybody that can pull a trigger on semi over 22 times a second, but there may be someone out there)....
Okay. My baseball team started off with four people on one side, x-ball field. They had one person who had been playing for two years, two as their second time, and one as his first time. It was all of them versus me, and the kid who had been playing two years's dad-who was in the military and had been playing about nine years.Just the two of us. He had some WGP Autococker with a revy. The ref gave us our countdown, I turned on my Halo, and no less than two seconds into the game my gun shot MAD fast and wiped out the real experienced kid and the first-timer. The other guy on my team picked off the other guy in the corner and then we both just walked up shooting at the other kid's bunker like mad. He surrendured. The game ended in about thirty seconds.

Review:
I absolutly love my Halo B! I got it a couple months ago and it has worked perfectly for me. I have not once out shot it, and I dont know anyone who can. The only problem I did have was that the batteries drained over the course of a week, but as long as you unattach the harness from the connecter they will be fine, and it only takes a second.
Compared to my Revvy, and both my Egg's, this thing is Godlike. I constantly outshot my revvy and eggs, but I havent once outshot this.
I also have the new Z-Code on my Halo, it has worked great, I had a misshapen ball in my hopper and so the wheel couldnt turn. Now normaly it would keep pushing and either bust the ball or burn out the motor. This pulsed three times, realized the ball was jammed and stopped pushing and flashed the LED for me to unjam the ball so it would continue to feed. I am very happy about this new software. Some people say it pushed paint past the detents, but it has yet to do that to me.
If you have the money, you should definitly buy this hopper!!!
Conclusion:
It has been absolutly wonderful to me, and I have no doubt it will work the same for all of you, even if something goes wrong, Odyssey is a wonderful company and will probably fix it for free, or maybe a small fee.
If you have the money, you should definitly buy this hopper!!!

Review:
this is by far the best hopper i have ever had the plesure of useing this hopper is extremly fast never worry about outshooting your gun againthe only down side is you must sand down the neck to get a "custom fit" a tight fit this is a vary boring process which takes a few hourers but in the end its worth it use the rough sand paper followed by thefine one MAKE sure that you check the fit of it on your gun so that you dont make it a loose fit some have had problems with double feeding due to the torque of the halo i have had no problems with this
Conclusion:
the best a fastest hopper it is best for high end guns not for blowback guns a little pricey but well worth it
