Halo B v.s Vlocity Jr

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

In a few weeks I'm going to purchase an Invert mini. I need help choosing a hopper for it though. 

I am torn between the Halo Belt driven w/ rip drive and the VLocity Jr. I am leaning towards the Halo because of the constant humming the Vlocity jr makes. Does the Halo make that constant humming noise while not being shot? It would get annoying during woodsball games. Are there any issues with the Halo that I should know before purchasing it? Is it prone to problems? Are there any reasons I should choose the Vlocity jr over the halo?

Thanks,
-250

	Vlocity Jr. Halo Bs are known for breaking down and having weak shells. Vlocity Jr.s also have better boards available. Edited by jerseypaint - 12 January 2008 at 11:02pm

	Sorry smacks head on desk I thought a hopper wouldn't really fall under a customization category, oh well. Thats why I posted here along with the rest of the non-gun related threads. I am mostly looking for reliability, so maybe the VLocity Jr would be the better choice. I would just have to ignore the humming the motor makes. Edited by Tsuoz250rdrK - 12 January 2008 at 11:09pm

	The halo is silent when not in use. I love mine.

	Whats your opinions on the Empire Reloader B? How does it compare to the Halo?

	i just got a halo b for my mini works great ^^ my opinion is there are to many variables for an empire b to go off because it is sound activated were the halo is activated by eyes
	if you put 500 dollars into an A5 it is still an A5

	My Empire B-2 is excellent, even with my deadly quiet 'cocker and DMLCD setups (J&J ceramics are great aren't they!) it feeds constantly without any issues. The three speed settings are also great in comparison to the Halo. If course, ANSgear.com has Torque loaders in stock for $89 right now.

	Vlocity Jr. Theyre cheaper, faster, MUCH lighter, and stronger. Empire B2s and Halo Bs are the same thing made by the same company.
