Everybody I know who uses the Halo owns at least two of them, as one is
always messed up, the eyes need cleaning or something. The Ricochet Apache
and the Egg are more reliable although they aren't quite as fast, you will
need spare doors etc. for the Egg, but it's a good idea to have those for
any brand. So it depends on whether you're trying to play paintball or set
firing-rate speed records, a lot of guys are more interested in the latter
for some reason.

I don't understand. The 2005 Apache LCD boasts 19-20 bps and the Ion can
only shoot at 17 bps anyway.
To tell you the truth I can't fire faster than about 10 bps anyway.

I'm just trying to understand why the Halo costs so much more.
Also I'm more concerned with reliability, durability, weight, and weight
distribution rather than speed.

I think it's real easy to just say go with the Halo because that's what many
people are using. Since I'm not shooting an Angel or a DMC do I really need
to spend the extra $50?

The reason I'm asking is because in the past I've made a few stupid
purchases. One example is a full Freak stainless steel kit for my A-5.
Now anyone that shoots an A-5 knows that's like putting racing tires on an
old VW Beetle. Another example is buying another A-5 for a back up. My
primary has never failed and I've never had to use the backup.

Sometimes it's really hard to see past all the hype.

Most people don't realize that the 2005 Apache is different than the
previous ones. I even know a store that tried to sell a 2004 for the
as a 2005 Apache. Trust me they were embarrassed by the end of the
sale as the kid that was buying it knew the difference.

He now likes the apache because it is faster than the egg he was using
and boasts a bigger and easier reload port.

They tried to sell a B loader to the kid but he said "I can't afford
it". This kid pays for his own equipment and field time. I totally
admire that, I mean you just have to.

You bought a freak kit for an A5? Damn, boy, I've got a bridge for sale,
interested?

You bought a SECOND Tippmann gun to back up your FIRST Tippmann? What,
didn't you get the memo? Tippmann guns are the rock the church was built
on! They NEVER break!

Geez, I seem to recall you asking this very group for advice on those very
purchases. I specifically remember advising you against both purchases.
You know, if you're not going to heed our advice, it's kind of silly to even
ask.

In short, get whatever loader you want, it's not like sound solid advice is
going to make much difference to you.

Been there done that, wouldn't go back. They fall apart!

or the Halo B.

Great loader, very fast. But, if you're not cheating, you don't need one
that fast.

I'm currently using a Halo LED. They are much cheaper, and keep up with a
normal trigger finger just fine. They also change feed direction based on
the way the gun is tilted.

Well Jeff you are absolutely wrong! I never did ask this group about either
of these purchases but I guess that really doesn't matter to you because you
just said that so you could be A BIG FUCKIN PENIS like you usually are.

You know when I first came to this group you seemed to be fairly cool and
offer some good advice. Anymore you are just looking for a reason to be a
cock. You don't care about any points you are just looking to belittle
people with a counterpoint.

I didn't tell you about those purchases so you could act like an asshole.

Your like fucking Hitler. You make a few intelligent posts. A few regulars
kiss your ass. And now you strut around here like your the fuckin Uber
Baller, shitting on every post.

I've had it with you, you pathetic ****!
