Rip drive is a manual (wheel you turn by hand) way of loading a stack of 5 balls per turn into the breech, if your battery’s fail on you etc. Or you can turn the opposite way to free up a ball jam.

Is it worth the extra.. Yep sure is.

if the eyes on your halo fail or get clogged up the rip drive allows you to manually tension a spring which continues to force feed balls.

i think.............

Halo B is eye activated (same as egg etc) will see there is no ball passing into the breech so feed.

Reloaderr B is sound activated. Feeds every time it hears your marker fire.

I personally prefer the Halo B due to using a marker with eye’s . If no balls present the marker will not fire, if the marker don’t fire no sound so no ball feed from the Reloader.

Yes they can have problems with dark shell (dark blue or black) but you don’t tend to find that much dark paint around these days.

Never had a prob myself..

You can get the sound activated board for the Halo, plus numerous others. But if you think this is going to be a big problem for you? Go for the Reloaderr in the first place.

yea well as you said there isnt much dark paint around so your prob right and i do think halo b would b better. I have only had one box of black paint and that wasnt a various colour one that was always black so should be ok, also the halo b is cheaper.

Thanks for all your help people
