I'm almost certain that the new Shocker is like the Impulse and without the eye the rate of fire is limited to about 13bps. Maybe someone else can help?

Personally, i'd recomend seeing if u can save the extra dough for the eye. Even though in theory a HALO can feed 20 odd balls, sods law states that in a snap shot or a bit of accidental bounce you'll get a couple of shots that go too fast and you chop. But well, then again, this wouldnt happen if you're bps was heavily limited....

PS... I'd say, save the money, get an egg instead of a HALO and put the money u would have spent towards the eye.

The rate of fire isn't capped as far as I know (if it is, it's higher than 13bps), however the recharge delay is adjustable via the trigger so you could turn it down for a non-vision setup.

The problem I found with the Halo is that it causes more drag on the bolt than the Egg, which can affect the operation of the gun as the mass of the moving parts in the Shocker is very low.

In either case, I was chopping with both my Egg and my Halo before I put my eye in.

paintball0925 if you've got the option you must go for a marker with an eye - whatever make of marker it is.

With the best will in the world you will always get a situation where you will chop paint without an eye - rapid fire, running shooting and of course the most common time when the last couple of balls bobbling around before they feed.
