when comparing a full loaded egg with a fully loaded halo b is there a noticable weight difference? and is there really the possiblity of a halo b breaking the sensi rod or sensor?

if i remember correctly.... because of the capacity difference between the egg and halo the weight difference is negligible.
since the egg holds more paint, it makes it the same weight as the halo when both are fully loaded.
and personally with the added speed, and durability of the halo i wouldnt consider any weight difference to be a factor in my decision of which loader to buy.

while yes, people have had issues with broken sensi's when used with halo's, i dont consider it a drawback to the halo. some people have stated that theyve had brand new sensi pads (sometimes more than one) be non-functional from the box, so im starting to think that due to the design of the sensor that some might be able to take more use/abuse than others are.

I use a reloader-B on mine and it works fine, my sensi rod is still in great condition..

i don't think it's generally the rod that gets messed up. it's the sensor pad. but then again, i have an egg so i don't have any firsthand experience one way or the other...

yeah halo will break the pad sometimes it happened to me but i just turned down the halo and now it wors fine. one of the big diff between halo and egg is how the sit on the gun. the reason i like the egg is it sits back from tht gun so when you are really tucked into the bunker and you pop out to snao shoot your hopper comes out when you do but with the halo the place where the batery is sticks out before you so its kinda a give away. but its not that big of a problem if you play it right. but the bigest drawback i have found with the egg is how easily the lid and feedneck break. so i would go with the halo if i were you.

using the halo make sure your ram is adjusted properly ie. when you close the roto breach you should hear a click. if you don't the halo will force the ball in and towards the bolt and allow a little bit of the next ball into the breach. and it'll chop the ball that's halfway in. had it happen to me and it sux cuz cleaning the sensi pad it a pain in the arse. so adjusting the ram hold your bolt forward a bit so this doesn't happen.

i bought the halo for 100 new from my local shop because they are going out of business. it has the victory board(i think) so it was a good deal. i just turned the board down (counter-clockwise) and it shoots ropes. considering that my previous hopper was a revvy.
