Reloader B, Halo, Q loader, or Pulse will all do 20+ -------------

what about for around 85 dollars? Also what upgrades would you recommend for
Reloader B, Halo, Q loader, or Pulse if I would get that?

I would suggest spending money now on a Halo or something of that nature, so you will never really have to upgrade again.

A stock Halo or a Vlocity Junior would be the cheapest options, both hovering a little under 100 new. Halos might be cheaper nowadays. I forget. I don't know what upgrades (if any) are available for the VLJ right now, but for the Halo I recommend:

Can your marker hit 20bps? I use a Dye LCD Matrix with an optical board in it and I still just use my 12VRevy (no x board) or empire reloader with it and rarely get a mis-fed round. I played the other day w/o the eye turned on and didn't even chop a ball. I guess if you're wanting to go full-tilt on auto, then yes, a 20bps+ hopper is a good investment, but unless you're currently experiencing feed problems, I'd save your money and buy a Halo or something off of e-bay down the road when you either switch markers or start having issues. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig.

Yesterday when I was playing i used my revy. Then i tried my friends hopper on my gun, and I could shoot so much better and it consistently feed it. I think my friend had an avalanche or apache or something like that. Also what do you think is the best board for a halo? -------------

If I'm shooting like 4 bps just doing something like just shooting
slowly will it still be good? Will it push the balls to fast and make
them brake or something? BTW I am talking about all this with just the
standard halo B?

| First one would be better. A new door is like 5 bucks or something, so it's not worth it. |

| I'd suggest hybrid shells for it because if you ever break paint you can clean it out much easier and i belive they have warrenty about the shells breaking. |

| DeadAim. I saw those two deals on ebay and when it said 24 bps, I was skeptical about his knowledge. It is the same guy selling both of those halos, but he has a pretty good feedback. |

| A stock Halo with good batteries can drop 24. Feed 24? No. |

Why do you need 20bps when most tourneys limit you to 15bps max? are you playing on an outlaw field or just a above average field with good insurance? p.s. unless you are ramping just try to pull 20bps (its awkward if not impossible for the better majority of people to do.

go with a halo reloader.. just incase you ever upgrade to a faster gun you still have a hopper that will keep up.. ------------- 98% of ion owners think ions are better than any high end gun. If you would like to bonus ball these idiots put this in your sig. |

I suggest the empire reloader 2. This is a nice hopper for e tippmann. It is sound activated and that makes the hopper good. It don't cost you a fortune. I think hoppers like the halo B are to expensive for tippmanns. They are good for speedballmarkers like matrix, ego, dmc, dm5, promaster... ------------- so war es und so wird es immer sein... custom 98 black ACT 32degrees drop forward empire reloader 2 cp classic 1piece barrel 14inch preset bottle |

New thing for our team is the Pulse with RF. I was told a man that weighed over 200lbs was jumping on one at Cup to prove how strong the shell is and it didn't crack or nothing. -------------
