Halo B Is A Pile Off ****e!!!!!!!!!!

[DICKYTAGE]

BOUGHT A HALO B FROM PLANET IN SEPT, AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH THE HOPPER SINCE, DOES NOT FEED WELL, DOES NOT WORK WELL, AND DOES NOT CLEAN WELL. BOUGHT THIS HOPPER FOR £100.00 + P+P AND TAX AND EXCPECTED IT TO PERFORM WELL , BUT THE ONLY THING THAT THIS HOPPER HAS DONE IS **** UP!!!!.WENT TO FAT BOBS WALK ON AND IT WORKED AS GOOD AS A NUN IN A BROTHEL. PAYED BIG BUCKS FOR A HOPPER THAT DOES NOT PERFORM. TRIED TO CLEAN THE HOPPER AFTER SOME BALLS HAD BURST IN THE NECK AND NEEDED 4 A LEVELS TO OPEN AND CLEAN THE HOPPER, SPRINGS AND WIRES WHERE EVERYWERE, WITH NO MANNUAL OR INSTRUCTIONS BOOK TO SHOW HOW TO CLEAN OR MAINTAIN YOUR HOPPER, WOULD NOT ADVICE ANY KEEN PAINTBALLER TO BUY THIS PRODUCT AS IT A TOTAL PILE OFF ****E, STICK WITH YOUR NORMAL V12 ELECY HOPPER IT'S WAY MORE RELIABLE THAN THIS OVERATED , OVERPRICED, AND UNDERPERFORMING HOPPER. THANX FOR READING THIS PAGE. PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF WHAT I HAVE SAID, I'M ONLY TRYING TO SAVE YOU HASSSLE AND GRIVE IF YOU BUY THIS HOPPER. CHEERS RICK..................

Hey maybe you just got a defective one. My friend bought an empire hopper and the thing just wouldnt work we tryed brand new battories and everything and it just wouldnt work. The hole for the battories wasnt even realy big enough, but it was just a factory defect and the next one worked just fine.

HI SCRUB

UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR SAYING BUT THIS SO CALLED PRODUCT COST ME £120.00, AND WHEN U HAVE TRIED 6 NEW DURACEL BATTERIES AND IT STILL WORKS LIKE A TWAT. WHAT DO U THINK I'M GOING TO THINK? ......... IF U GET CHANCE USE A HALO B HOPPER AND TELL ME WHAT U THINK IT'S LIKE?????

Well as you obviously have internet access, ever thought of visiting the Halo site to discover how to disassemble the thing and trouble shoot any issues...they have some very clear pics showing how to avoid the bad feed problem (cos impact can move the sensor out of true) The manual in the box ???? I would have called that the instructions and yes it is a little vague, large exploded diagram, what not to do, pictures etc

Did you call Planet to see if they could fix your problems?

In case you didn't read the manual here is the Halo website

Yea I know what you mean that does suck, but if the thing isnt fixable will the place you bought from exchange it? If not its probly still under warranty from the maker isnt it? yea I rember when my freind was trying to fix his, he was so mad.

Sorry but......

Have to leap to the defense of HALO's! Have had one for three months and it is sweet as, only thing in the world that can feed fast enough to quench the paint thirdt of my fire spitting Race Freeflow!! Mmmmm 20bps!!!

I use a Halo B and it works brilliantly.

You need to make sure your detents are good and the gun is set up well (it's not tolerant of bad bolt position).

What gun are you using it on?

Oh and you must not use black shelled paint (not even half black shelled) as the eye can't see it and it overdrives causing broken balls...

Be careful when cleaning it that the eyes went back into perfect position or you just make things worse.

Also can you take caps lock off cos its really bad net etiquette.

It amaze's me though you come on here slag this hopper of like nobody's buisness and you've done no research on it whatsoever. Yeah you could argue you shouldn't have to because it was new, although personally I'd of given planet a call when I first realised it wasn't living up to expectations!
When you say it doesn't feed well can you elaborate?

..and again, what gun are you shooting as 90% of HALO problems are caused by the gun setup rather than the hopper itself.
