durability:

other options:

 

1 paintball gun package=$150
1 case of paint=$50
air & entry fee=$15
lighting up newbies all day long= Priceless

Dont go with a Ricochet. Look into an Egg. They're about $70, can keep up with a lot of higher end guns, no overly heavy, durable, but there are some issues with the lid and battery door breaking.

Or, I'd actually reccomend saving a little more money and buying a Halo B with Rip.

Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good.

I much favor stock Reloader B boards over stock Halo boards. The Reloader is a little faster and feels much more responsive.

Of course... the new Halos come stock with Victory boards, so I'd have to say go for one of those. The price difference between them and the Reloader B is fairly significant.

I like the reloader B because it is sound activated, meaning that no matter what colour paint you use, the loader will always work.

The Halo "see's" the paintball with a set of eyes in the neck of the hopper. If you are using dark colour paint, it wont always see the paintball and continue to feed. The reloader B uses sound to activate the loader and feed paintballs, so no matter what kind of paint you use it will work. As for the new hopper that is $129, I think your talking about the Vl Vlocity. I dont knoe alot about these hoppers. However, I would never use one for the simple fact that its made by VL, which is owned by Brass Eagle, which equals crap. The reloader B2 is the newest reloader, it features 6 different sound options and 3 different speed settings(I think). Overall, I would go with a Reloader B.

Did he tell you it was 80-100? No.... edit- In fact, the Reloader B ranges from $120-$150.

Don't assume. It's expensive. It's the last hopper you'll ever need. Live with it.

How about a Revvy?

Dead reliable and cheap, holds 200 balls, doesn't eat batteries, and it's light.

Because truthfully, most people can't outshoot a Revvy.  Some people can, but just because your gun is capable of 20bps doesn't mean that you are.

Unless you have superfast fingers or shoot on ramp/full auto, you most likely will never outshoot a Revvy.

Get a halo, that that idiot that said the halo can't see. I've used every colour maginable and it works fine. The Re:Loader B is the one that has problems one miss feed and it screws up.

I've had both and the Halo is much better as long as you get it fresh batteries every once in a while.

Revvies are easy to outshoot. They feed 12 BPS.
