Hit and miss I'm afraid. Some IR3s have no problems, others when coupled with a halo just produce soup.

Some don't like any Halos. Others like certain ones, some don't like any no matter what :confused:

Safe bet is an egg.

Some people tried harder detents. Others tried lubing the belt (which kind of defeats the purpose of a fast loader if you ask me :) )

Like Parsky said, quite hit and miss with the IR3's. My old IR3 + HALO was trouble, but you can fix it by using a tougher ball detent (adding one also helps), adjusting your ram and using the new soft touch bolt from WDP. And you should be able to keep your COPS as well. I've found that the theory of balls being punctured by the rod is complete idiocy fabricated by the brats at PBnation and AOG as yet another excuse to blame the WDP anti chop system for everything wrong in paintball. Even if it were true (which I've tested with my old IR3 and my new A4 and found it not to be), you could alleviate it by rounding the top of the rod a bit with some sandpaper. Give all those things a try and see if you're IR3 doesn't make erotic love to your HALO.
 
No Ir3s have one detent.

The detent on your Ir3 will almost certainly be far too weak for the job.

The best detents are really old ones, or certain aftermarker ones (I can highly reccomend the AGD ULE ones)


Yeah the ram will probably need adjusting too, LPR must be right aswell (at least 95 PSI at 500PSI input) and a softnose bolt is also a must.
