ok, im gonna get a halo b hopper tomorrow but before i buy it i want to know what the diff is between halo b (with rip drive Also - how come halo b with victory board is like 20 bucks more than regular halo b. $20 dollars extra = 15 balls faster? Can you buy a victory board for like 20$ to upgrade your standard halo b? Edit: Oh ya, i have an ion btw just in case you wanted to know. |

The Empire loads by sound I believe. I dont know about the board though. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

| k thanx, i heard that the empire can be stupid sometimes if other people are around you shooting, cuz the sound activated thing can go off track. Any chance you know how fast it feeds? |

ok, i still need some help with the victory board, it seems weird that its only like 20$ more to make your halo feed almost twice as fast.

Well, it does work like that, but no one needs to fire that fast, just
because it claims it can go to 35 BPS doesn't mean you'll be shooting
that fast. If you have an ION, you should have no problem with a
stock Halo B, (especially with the stock board) you won't need the
Victory Board. I beleive it sucks up a lot of power too, just to
make it feed that fast (unneedingly). ------------- [IMG]http://i27.tinypic.com/1538fbc.jpg"> Squeeze Box ☣ |

A Victory Halo is faster than a stock board for sure, but it cannot FEED 35 bps. On a gun, it maxes out in the low to mid twenties. Add a Boost battery (I don't recommend it on anything but a Cheetah board) and it will make it a few balls faster. Reloader B's are roughly as fast as a Victory'd Halo. People say that Reloader B's and Halo stock boards are the same speed, but I don't believe that at all. |

^^^ Actually, the speeds are the same... the difference is the sound activated sensor seems to engage faster than the eyes on a Halo. With that said, I don't care for the sound activated systems due to them sometimes incorrectly activating when you bump the hopper. The Victory Board I beleive retails at $35.00 the reason that you can upgrade when you buy it for an extra $20 is because you won't have a stock board. I still have a Halo that I use for a Back-Up, but I have found that the VLocity is more consistant than both the Empire and Halo. The VL also holds more balls. ------------- "Thats right, I play pump... your girlfriend borrowed my last set of batteries." "How many times a second are you going to miss me before I shoot you?"

This is why I never believed that stock Halos were faster than stock Reloaders. http://media.putfile.com/05-Speed-93 - http://media.putfile.com/05-Speed-93 I don't see a stock Halo being able to do that. |
