to me its like saying an ion is better than a shocker because if you do this this and this to it, its lighter and faster but out of the box halo/reloader is far better and the vlocity is downright fugly that one i will agree on. bone pack £20 if you know the right folk i do about 2 training 2 masters and 1 pa before i considered charging it
can i just ask have you ever tried a vlocity???

vlocity out of the box has 8 tension settings, antijam 2 sets of eyes. and you can run the most brittle paint thru it without the fear of breaks(on setting 1), and even if you do break, you have 2 sets of eyes so unlikely to ruin your game

halo has no settings unless u get v35, 1 set of eyes and no antijam, unless you buy a rip. breaks brittle paint

reloader has 3 settings. you have to turn it on when it is quiet and leave it on all day. sometimes have trouble with quiet guns. breaks brittle paint.

the only issue here is that vlocity is fugly, but i sold a halo b and a reloader b cos i didnt need them due to the vlocity. I only run my vlocity in the winter, even my pulse breaks paint in the winter, and that is on a rf chip....

i am quite happy that you love your reloader/halo, but it is an opinion, and this thread is about rip drives. it has been done over and over.

halo rip - yes
pulse rip - yes
vlocity rip - yes

i have used a vlocity on several occaisions...as well as a pulse. and we are dragging it a bit off topis a bit but hey.

if i had to i would have no issues using a vlocity but peronally i would prefer a reloader b. when i had my halo i never broke a ball in it and same for my reloader.

and as for turning it on when its quiet...i turn mine on in the staging area...most times in the chrono area because i forget and it runs perfect all day.

never had an issue ever

personally being the key word there, personally (and i think its the same story for robof9) i prefer the vlocity over the reloader b. again its all personal opinion :) CASE CLOSED :p

spend a couple of quid on decent non rechargeable batteries for a tournament and make sure there is a fresh set in first thing in the morning.

tescos do a four pack of duracell 9v for just over 8 quid. when you are spending lots of money on paint and markers, don't forget your little batteries!!

failing that buy some QUALITY rechargeables and use them at training etc.
