What are the main differences in these hoppers :confused:

The speed they feed them at isnt my reall priority, as both can feed above 17 I believe...

Which one would you reccomend? For use with most paints... cheap and expensive. Kind of need a side by side comparison if anyone could give me some info :)

The halo also seems to be cheaper?

thanks

yo man i get a lot of people saying that the reloader is ****e as you have to use the sound activation but mine works ace although it is a bit of a pisser if u have a closed bolt gun e.g. ion and u get low on gas the loader tends not to pick it up but if you got an open blot get the reloader its an ace hopper man hope this helped:D

reloader b might be better if you are going to use cheap paint aswell as you can adjust the speed so its softer forcing the paint plus as danrandon has said reloader is sound activated so if your hopper breaks the cheap paint it will still work unlike halos where there are eyes to get blocked by paint.Tbh tho either should be ok as i use a halo b myself on an ion and ive not had any problems with breaking paint or paint getting on eyes etc but tbh ive never used s**t paint:D

:D lol

being closed bolt has nothing to do with the bolt having a body its to do where the bolt is when the gun fires,eg
cockers are closed bolt cos when they are ready to fire the bolt is in the forward position with a ball in breach,then when the trigger is pulled the marker fires then the bolt moves back another ball falles into the breach then the bolt moves forward again ready to fire.

ions are open bolt cos when the marker is ready to fire the bolt is back,when the trigger is pulled the bolt moves forward pushing the ball,then once into position the air opens into the breach then the bolt returns back where another ball drops in front of it ready to be fired again.

well i think thats how it goes if you can understand:confused:
