hi guys, first time ive actaully made a thread over here i think. i have a few questions on the 05 speed and the a4. first of all, will the a4 work with a halo very well? and is the speed as bad with chopping as it sounds? which one would u guys buy or which one would work fine with a halo, ive heard that the a4 will chop like crzy with the halo and that the halo will break the sensi and ive heard that the speeds will chop like all hell because an exra piece of a ball will get into the breech.
i can get the a4 for $800 at the local shop and they dont havea speed yet but i was just wondering how much i could prolly get a speed for. i was hoping like $800-850.
which one would be overall most reliable because that is mainly all i really want and i really liked an a4 fly when i shot one so thats why im comparuing these 2, and i cant afford an a4 fly, so please dont mention that.
thank u for any replies.

The A4 will work with a Halo. Mine worked...
No, I have never chopped with mine.
I would DEFINATLY get an 05 Speed. Much nicer imo.

what about the internals? i noticed that on the wdp sote, the 05 speed internals are "fly engine internals" and there doesnt seem to be anything about the a4's internals. does either gun have an advantage internally or efficiently?

get an 05 speed, trigger much better, eye system = good, sensi = crap, speed is effecient enough for me and i play back, oh and its hella fast

it is good gun for any position. faster than crap for the back. really light and small for the front. some people have chopping problems, but get it tuned and have a good paint-barrel match and you will shoot laser beams all game. i'd just get a 693 or 691 stiffi or ultralite and no problems. good luck

Get the 05 speed.
I have had no problems with my Reloader B whatsoever. I have not had a single chop in 5 cases. That 10,000 balls! I t seems that much of performance problems that occur to other people happens when they are trying to tweek the Speed to within an millimeter of the design capability.
05 Speed. Werd up!

ya, i hear ya there, any time u mess with something out of box, ur bound for troubles. thats why all ill really do is throw the halo and volumizer on(according to wdp it comes with ONE) and adjust the reg so im shootin 280 and im set. ill also adjust it for my halo and my bouce likings, but that isnt really performance wise, sorta, but not really.
hey bro (the oster above me), i see ur online, do u have aim or an instant messanger? i wanna talk to u about this beast or w/e u wanna call it

Don't be so hard on sensi. It's not as bad as some people try to say it is. I own and still use an '03 speed and haven't chopped a ball this entire tourney season. The a4 should be similar to that, but a little smarter. Still I have to recommend the speed. Its one of the faster guns I've ever shot, and it's relatively legal. For as small as the price difference is, go with the newer model. Then again, if you can get a killer deal on the 4, you won't be displeased either way.
