New hopper.. egg or Halo?
- Thread starter Armadyllo
- Start date
I've used both loaders currently running on an egg.
Pros for halo
*It's a true force feed loader???? as if this really matters but hey
*Will feel very familiar to a revi user as the lid and profile are similar,
*Feed neck feels more substantial, altho it's not replaceable.
Negatives for halo
*RELIABILITY!!!!!!! i had several niggly problems with mine
*vision is impaired by the back of the loader (Bit slab sided in my opinion)
*HEAVY!
*Pain in the arse to clean
Egg Pros
* Cheap replaceable parts (feed neck is a bonus)
* Holds more paint
*Vision is better allowing for a tighter profile
Egg Cons
* it looks like an egg
*may off balance your marker
* a full loader will put a lotta leverage on the feedneck (may spin or fall off in frantic activity)
* Lid is curious design that takes a bit of getting used to, but does allow for fast fills while still firing.
* battery tray is toss!!!! tape it up or lose your batterys
All in tho i'd say get an egg- they're cheaper and spares are cheap too

get the egg m8 i had a halo on my angels and all it does is chop balls this problem was soon cured with an egg!! halo's do look better though 
hmm I reccon keep my revi as backup and get an egg....
sounds like the egg manufacturers need to take some hints on a few glitches tho....

as you have fang detents, you definetly cant use a halo as fang detents are weaker than normal ball detents so you will double fire and stuff all the time
Halo's don't get on with the earlier angels, i used to use one on my ir3 but switched to an egg.
Especially if you have Fangz detents. My imp used to have fangz and the Halo pushed right past them, and the Imp uses 2 detents. So using a Halo on an old Angel with a single detent, especially if it is a Fangz type is just asking for trouble.
i got an evo II with a z board and it is faster than a halo and it doesnt jam. go for the evoII and get a z board installed trust me its worth it at 23 bps it cant be out shot
halos rock but you need hard detents to sope with them... i shoot with one and it's awesome - i did have an egg but switched coz i didn't feel it kept up with the gun....
btw not saying i shot at 30bps, saying that the egg wasn't as constant a feed as the halo is....
