I've been very interested in this hopper sence I like JT/Viewloader alot. It basically is a rip off of a Halo. The thing I like is that they did more then just make a Halo remake. They put in some new technology in the hoppers board and all. Also this hopper also supposly blows a stock Halo outta the water in speed. The looks aren't that well looking but you should be worrying about your preformence and not your looks. Some people say it looks like a Halo and Ricochet had a baby and it turned into this. I also heard people complaining about it's size. It's no bigger then a Halo and I'm sure it weighs less sence it runs off 2 9volts and not 6 AAs. Also unlike the Halo it holds 200 balls.

I like this hopper and have kinda thought about getting one if I get a new tourny marker sence I'm aiming to play pump.

I've got an Empire Reloader (not B) and other then that it's cursed, (lemme explain)I have had no problems with it. I am totally jinxed when it comes to this loader. So far, every single day of every single tournement I have ever played in with this loader, I lose 1 or 2 hoppers of paint. (not the loader's fault) Ok, so when I get out, (which almost never happens wink )I head to the deadbox, and somehow the hopper attracts balls right to under the edge of the lid, causing tragic results.

Best was my halo B. worst was my egg cause it kept cracking.



Everytime I see an Egg, it looks like a freaking frankenstein; duct tape madness all over. (I mean come on, it's called the Egg, eggs are fragile and such) I'm looking to get a new hopper. To all those Egg heads out there, prove me wrong!

Well about a year or more ago VL improved the design of the Egg shells. Alot of the stuff like broken of lids is a thing of the past due to the new design.They made the neck of the hopper more supported so you don't have broken front screws on it. They also made a new screw design for the lid so people don't wind up stripping the plastic and ending up haveing crap for a lid.

Now for the all so called fragile battery door. I don't know what people do to do this but I'm not sure. Unless your shoving to big of batterys in their IDK. I heard some people get shot in the battery pack and it brakes. I've been shot their numerous times and no damage. I might suggest taking out the battery spacer, me and my Father have ours out and none of our battery doors have broken and I alone have been using a Egg for like 3 years.

Now theirs for the people who cry about speed. A Egg wil get lets say 18 sence people like to disclaim it's speed so much. OK 18. There is no way in hell your going to have the time on the field to get up to shooting 18 bps and not get lit up like a Christmas tree. Don't cry about ramping. Your gun in any leauge should be capped at 15 bps. The Egg has 3 over that and their should be no problem. I see Halo B's to only be tools useful to show off.

And people if you throw a hopper on the ground it is likely to brake. My friend kicked his Halo B after he dove into the snake and his Halo B hit the ground and it napped like a twig. So then he drop kicked it into the air about 15 feet up. Winding up with totally cracked shells,even know the shells were screwed already.

EDIT: The nickname "Egg" is due to it's shape and not it's so called weakness. The reason shells also break is so the company does not go outta business. It's kinda like lightbulbs. Companys could make lightbulbs that could last like forever but they choose not so people come back to buy more.

Yes VL came out with the VLocity Hopper not really a Egg. I can't see them making a new Egg after just coming out with the VLocity. The VLocity is basically a Halo B remake with some new technology and looks. Well depending on what your store charges up thier for a Egg I'm not sure. So far I've only seen people buying them for the $120-130 range. They seem pretty cool if your a VL fan like me. I talked about the VLocity a few post up so check that if you want.

But if your not into the hype of it just get a Egg or Halo B. I see no need to go above my Egg sense it keeps up with me.

Does cutting out three fans on the Egg really make it faster? I want to do it if it does but I dont want to mess my hopper up considering I just got it. I dont see how doing that would make it any faster.

Well by cutting out the paddles off of it you allow for more paintballs to be in the tray and sense it'll have more paintballs and there and having same speed you gain some more speed. Supposly it adds like 2-3 balls faster which isn't mindblowing.

From what your sig says you have a Y-Board in your Egg. If your wanting more speed I'd just upgrade to a Z-Board. My friend had a Egg w/Z on his older model Electra and it seemed to keep up and work fine.
