Faster than what HALO? Maybe a HALO A or a broken B but the egg is simply not faster that a halo. The fact that the Egg only feeds when the sensor is tripped is part of the reason. There is spring tension on the ball stack in the halo at all times which means that the feed rate in bursts far exceeds that of the Egg.

Here is some evidence for you, a nexus eblade, on full auto with eye on, therefore the loader is limiting the ROF.

HALO-B

Notice that along with being much faster, the HALO loads at a conistant speed, not stuttering slightly like the EggII.

Heres the EBlade running full auto, without a hopper and eye off, just to show how fast the baby could go:

I still agree that the EggII would be the best option for your Angel, but i just needed to dispute the fact that it was faster than a HALO. Oh, and blatantly as the vids proove...both can still be out-shot :D

Right ya've all sold me....
I know what to get now.... a revi connected to the fill of an egg.. connected to the fill of a Halo connected to the top of a warp feed :D BUT using a door spiring for a detent lol.

I recon the Egg II will do me fine. How much better is it than a revi .. or are they about the same? Must admit I like the look of the Egg best..... bit worried about how far back the weight might be tho. Ah well i'll buy one and see.. cheers guys.
