Halo B - cheapest?

[echo34]

does anyone know the cheapest place that i can get a new Halo B? also would it be worth waiting for a DXS pulse or getting a cheaper Halo?

I'd probably go second hand if I were you, if not the group buy on Pulse's seems to be quite a good deal. Link. I'm just waiting for my paypal to be verified cos' I've spent too much on it :'(

Which halo B (Rip drive or without)?

 

[echo34]

which ever is better.

get a reloader b not a halo b if possible as they are much more reliable

 

[H]

get a reloader b not a halo b if possible as they are much more reliable

A matter of opinion and it depends on the type of marker being used.

 

[JoeJr]

get a reloader b not a halo b if possible as they are much more reliable

but alot more expensive

 

[Polly]

yes if you are using a very quiet marker then a reloader possibly wouldnt be the best choice. And they really arent that much more expensive. The eyes in the halo mean that if you get a burst in your hopper you are down for the rest of the game and the eyes are a pain in the arse to clean whereas a reloader will usually at least still feed, if not as fast, for the rest of the game.

you want one with a rip drive - important if your batteries fail or you get a blockage. try www.fatbobspaintball.co.uk

Okay... Halo B and Reloader B are physically almost identical. The Halo uses eyes to see a gap in its paintball stack, which then feeds to react to it, but there can be problems with seeing certain paint colours I believe, especially with dar colour shells on the paint. The Reloader uses Sound activation and so it hears each time the marker fires and "reloads" hence the name. It will automatically adjust itself to the sound of your marker. I've not heard of anyone having problems with a marker being too quiet for it but I guess it could be a potential issue, but you'd have to be shooting a REALLY quiet marker. The Reloader can also run off 4AA's instead of 6 if you don't need to shoot so fast, saving cash potentially in the long run.
The Rip drive is well worth its cost. If you don't have one and your batteries go, you have no way of shooting at all, as the Halo and Reloader cannot gravity feed like a revi could. - with the Rip you'll be able to tension a ball stack - under the pressure from the spring and shoot off short ropes and stay in the game.
Try the fourms Clasified section if you want a cheap second hand one, or give Jimmy at Warped in Wolverhampton a call www.warpedpaintball.co.uk a call, he imported some a little while ago at a bit of a discount and might have some left.

Hope that helps
