They didn't make any guns or force fed loaders before he got there ...

He did not go to Tippmann. Anyone who says otherwise is just making that up.

Is this pretty close?
If i'm not mistaken they were selling the Odyssey Halo's and then they came out with the reloader B and were paying royalties on them. I believe the first force feed system that simon really designed FOR KEE was in the magna with the magnetic drive cone. I think he did the Warp feed as well for AGD
I'm probably all wrong with that though.

EMPIRE didn't do or make anything as they were/are just a brand name. National paintball supply sold other companies products like timmy's. they also had some lower end markers with the NPS brand. And had the empire brand with soft goods and that moved into some hard goods like the empire reloader (sound activated revvy), etc.

Pretty sure the halo is his design.

If so it would have been before he was at national. They paid royalties on it when they released the reloaded b.

The Halo was designed and built by Odyssey engineering from Texas. Simon filed a petent on a force feed loader just a few months before Odyssey did. Simon was able to take the Halo once he got to Kee and meld it into the other loaders you have seen after it.
