Woodsball hoppers

Never understood the idea of "woodsball" equipment. Mostly, in the way of guns, it seems mostly to be outdated technology dressed up to look like military kit and thus ending up heavy and unweildy!
As such, any hopper could be used in the woods, though you may not choose white or red shells! On a budget, a Halo or Reloader B for £25-40 secondhand is theway to go, if you have a little money, a Rotor is a fantastic loader, and available in some camo'ish finishes.
Halo uses eyes to sense the paint moving, where as the reloaders series uses sound activation to hear the gun fire and feed. The B is adjustable for speed, whereas the B2 allows you adjust the speed, sound sensitivity and the turn the stack tension monitoring on/off.
Personally I own a pair of reloader B2s, and have used the B and a stock Halo. All excellent hopper, but the Reloaders are slightly more user friendly in that they never fail to feed (the Halo has issues with some paint colours) and the LEDs make it clearer when they are on or off. The B2 edges it over the B as the B needs to be switched on somewhere quiet to allow the sound sensitivity to set itself - if you switch it on somewhere noisy it can fail to feed.

As far as i know the main differences between the Halo and Reloader is that the reloader is sound activated whilst the Halo isnt 
I dont know if there are any other differences as i've personally only used a halo once when i needed a hopper for a game

If you get a b2 board there are so many differences mic settings motor settings and a few more. Have a read up on themAs far as i know the main differences between the Halo and Reloader is that the reloader is sound activated whilst the Halo isnt
I agree. Woodsball / Milsim / Scenario equipment is a fallacy.
A cheap Halo B / V35 / Reloader as previously mentioned will be more than adequate - but then so will a prophecy a Pulse or a Rotor.
I play mainly woodsball and I can promise you, the milsim guys always get beat by the guys shooting DM9's, NT's and Ego's atc.
Check out the invert halo II aswell, similar to the B2 being sound controlled, finished in matt black and comes fitted with an anti jam freeway (upgrade part on reloaders and halos).
New around £55, used around £35 (if you can find them)

If you can find a cheap Halo/Reloader B2, there are B2 upgrade mits going on Ebay for about £11 posted
Vlocity (full size & junior) are a good feeder, although aftermarket chips give better feed setting options over stock. You can get woodsball friendly camoflage shells for them too.
Woodsball is paintball so a woodsball marker or hopper is any marker or hopper - woodsball, speedball, pump, electronic or blowback.
