Rip drive doesn't increase your feed rate, it's just a little crank on the bottom of the hopper that's attached to the drive cone so that you can still get balls into your marker if the HALO's batteries go dead. A HALO without the rip drive that had the same board would feed at the same rate. By the way, my vote goes for the HALO too.

Halo fast as you need, on the downside reliability, if you get a good one they're great if you get a bad one......
Odyysee customer service generally good but a pain in the arse to get parts for, really slow as well in my experience. Lot's of places do stock parts though but they do run out....
Really like the balance of the halo, the weight is in the front of the hopper which counteracts the weight of your bottle quite nicely.
Egg, fast enough and very reliable, personally I hate the shape and not as easy to dump a pot into in my opinion. Battery cover is rubbish even after bending the battery contacts in. good back up hopper but nowhere near as fast as the halo.
Warp YAK! used it for a couple of training sessions and half a tourny, encourages bad gun skills (no left hand shooting). It's another thing to go wrong and adds alot of weight to your setup. Also how many pro's use warps??...:rolleyes:

Halo or Reloader B all the way.

The only downside to Halo's is that most people end up owning 2 or 3 and also a Z boarded Egg as a back-up for the back-ups :rolleyes: Never had any reliability problems with mine, but if you break a ball are a complete b'stard to take apart and clean

The Reloader B is just a sound activated version of the Halo B, so works better in bright sunlight. They don't work too well on quiet guns such as the Dm4 though.

Warp Feeds are plain nasty, heavy and as already said encourages naff gun skills. As festive as asking for a reach around in my mind.

each to their own, I used a warp for years and loved it! But alas I have gotten rid of it (well actually its collecting dust) in favor of the slightly slower Halo. It doesn't promote bad gun skills........it just makes you learn to use your gun differently.

The Halo is a very similar to the Warp, apart from where it is on the gun and the fact that the halo would be seen as a combined warp/hopper combo. Now if Odysey came out with a side-mounted version............

nah :p shooting lefty again is quite liberating! And I can run!!! Oh how I missed running *crys*
