Stupid Halo. I now officially hate it. My Angel outshoots it so I am now pissed because I bought it to not do that.

ok, first, wut kind of angel is it? Does is have dual ball dents? Does the angel use cops/sensi? angels that have sensi/cops use a rod a the bottom of the body, so a force fed only can push the ball to hard into the rod, thoughfor breaking the ball. thats wut i heard on PBN. either way, get a z-board egg. |

Are you talking to me? If you are, give me on explanation that doesn't involve batteries or screwed up Halo. It is possible it is screwed up, but I just doubt it because both the batteries and the Halo is brand new. EDIT: CD whatever gave me an explanation...but if you got another go ahead ------------- Que pasa?

qloaders arnt that hard to chage the hoppers on...buy a 500 round pack...that comes with a belt to carry all the q pods on...and all you have to do is turn the qpod off and then put another one in and turn it and there you go...takes like 3 seconds...about the same amount of time as it would to open your cap, dump in 100 rounds, and close the cap...there is nothing better for a angel IMHO then a qloader...angels can shoot over 30 bps...and the qloader feeds that appitite... -------------

^^^you cant walk that fast, and if you somehow did shoot that fast
during a tourney youll be pulled for an illegal gun, no one can walk
30bps, idc what kind of fingers u have
factor in the reloading time it takes for switching the Q pods, and to empty two Q's and switch them in the time it takes to empty a full halo will be about the same, and when they did that test, they werent walking the gun, it was like super huge bounce times 10, no one walks that fast, no one needs a hopper that fast, fact of the matter is that Q loaders are crap, ive had one, my whole team has had them, we sold them the day after we got them because they were crap ------------- http://imageshack.us">

i dont jmac has a ramping gun, give him a working halo, and have him walk it, halo will do just fine Got them, wound em up, stuck all the pieces on and they would feed slower than a halo, it was retarded, we may have done it wrong but we had our proshop do it too, they arent very user friendly, and also when you have paintballs just in the tube, you have to tip your gun to have them feed, pods and whole mounting thing was poorly constructed, its a peice of crap, if its so awesome why dont more teams use them? Take a look at huntington beach, most teams are using halos, as a matter of fact i didnt see one person using a qloader, y? because they hold 100balls, are totally retarded and are crap, not to mention it takes 5 minutes to load one freekin pod ------------- http://imageshack.us">

Because there Spnsor makes them... look at XSV, they could use Halos "IF" they wanted to but since there Heavily sponsored by JT, and JT owns Viewloader, JT Makes them use eVLoutions... I'm sure more people would use Q-loaders if there Sponsor or who ever didn't make them... -------------

| the halo b is the fstest hopper on the market...if you can find a hopper that can out perform the halo i will buy it. The q-loader is faster, but it is not a hopper. At the rate it can fire you paintballs could be gone in 5 seconds. I wouldn't want to change pods every minute, let aslone every second. |

And with the halo B at that rate you will have to pop open tubes, have balls fly all over the place, after 10 secs of firing, dont forget changing the battery. -------------

Have you ever reached 35BPS with or without ramping? I doubt it, so it serves no purpose really. More hype than anything. ------------- |

/me has a Q
A few thoughts: For one, AIC (the parent company of QLoaders) is relatively small. Seeing as how the Q is one of the newer things on the market, they probably can't afford to sponsor any major teams with Q's. For another thing, half the teams out there are still using Revvy's. They won't switch to a Q immediately in any case. I have a Q. From toying with it so far, it does not suffer from any of the problems people are insisting it has. I can change pods quickly and it's easy to maintain, as long as you aren't a complete fool. I can take a Q-pod apart and have it back together and functional within a few minutes, no sweat. When I get my gun back together I'll be hooking up the Q to a super r/t and seeing what happens. I expect it will feed very well. And the funniest thing about people whining about the QLoader... the people who say it FEEDS TOO FAST. Insert "..." here. Isn't that the whole POINT of a new loading system? It feeds fast and strong enough to avoid misfires... it doesn't force you to fire that fast. ------------- Is God real? You'll find out when you die.
Okay, I don't have a clever signature zinger. So sue me. |

Thats why Im not worryed about my 98 pro E not having an eye because I know my q-loader wont have any problem forcing the ballls in quick enough, then again I dont think you even need an eye at that slow of a speed. I had my 98 up to 15 bps with just a normal VL200 -------------

| I still don't understand why someone needs 35 BPS or even 22 BPS for that matter. The tournament argument doesn't hold water except maybe for a back player that has to lay down a lot of paint in the first 15 seconds. What ever happened to tactics and strategy? It makes me wonder how paintball ever succeeded in the first place before electronics were incorporated into the firing systems. |

simple my friend...let me explain this...in speedball you cant lay out a set plan...it has to be open to change because an intire plan can be blown in less then a sec in a fast paced sport like speedball...tactics are still around...but they are more individualized then as a team, this helps people become their own little group...and shooting mroe then 15 bps makes perfect scence...the army is the most tactical group out there...right? well they have guns that fire just as fast as our markers...like their m60s and stuff...they even have one experimental gun that is fired using electic to spark the gun powder to fire the bullets...it looks like a big box with like 100 straws stacked inside...but can shoot hunddreds of thousands of bullets a minute...with faster fire comes more of a chance to strike an enemy within a shoter period of time...ill put it this way...a enemys arm may only be exposed for .25 of a second...which is 1/4 of a second for the slower people here (no names) if your shooting 15 bps...what are the odds you will hit them factoring in movement, wind, the shooters movement and ball fall and curve? not very likley...mabye about 10%...if you are shooting 20+ bps...your chances of hitting is more about...15-20% now...just because of those extra few balls...its really just that simple...i dont understand why people cant figure it out -------------

First of all, I am dumb. There are plenty of explanations for it breaking(Now I see), but I didn't know. Second of all, I don't need to shoot ridiculously fast but I like to. I am a back player and though I don't play tournaments I play some competitive games and I like shooting fast. Hitting people on the run is so much easier when shooting fast. I learned this my first game with my Angel(Turned down to like 11 bps because I had a revy). I was used to my cocker and I just had such an easy time shooting people that were trying to move. This=why It is better to shoot fast. Don't tell me it isn't fun to unload occasionally. I know you think it is. Thanks, have a nice day. ------------- Que pasa?
