Good combo for paintball?

Question

Ok, I have got a VS3. Just got it a day ago and I'm wondering what kind of hopper I should put on it. I am trying to decide on 3 different ones...

1) Empire Reloader B

2) Halo B w/V35 chip

3) 18 Volt Fasta Loader with LCD Screen

Which one should I go with?

Answer 1

Definately go with the fasta probably the cheapest but most reliable loader for that gun's BPS

Answer 2

Out of the three choices above, I would go with either if the first two

1) Empire Reloader B

2) Halo B w/V35 chip

The Fasta is nice out of the box. However, with just a bit of use the detection system starts to fail.  Also the plastic it is made from is brittle so the screws start to fall out as the shell breaks around them.

With all that,  I would go with the Velocity or Velocity jr.  These are fairly new on the market,  but very nice for the price.

Answer 3

Halo B with V35 or the Empire B, both are basicaly identical in performance. I use a standard Halo with rip drive, and I havent had any problems with it. I have heard about Fasta loaders misfeeding if paint breaks inside it, so I wouldent get that.  

Answer 4

The Empire and Halo, they are exactly the same.

They look alike, they perform the same, and they both have Rip.

But if your going to get one, make sure it has Rip Drive on it.  It is still a good hopper without it, but it makes life so much better with it.
