HALO B on GZ Video - round 2

wyn1370 · 06-17-2002, 01:46 PM

any idea what BPS he topped out at. There's an ongoing discussion over on AO right now.

OvrEagR · 06-17-2002, 01:59 PM

I'm guessing everyone else knows what AO is, but I was wondering if someone could tell me anyway

Thank you

wyn1370 · 06-17-2002, 02:07 PM

All that was feeding it was a turbo rev and we also tried it with the ricochet and it was on fire with both. Youll never have a problem again with skipping a shot or chopping because the bard is timed to actuate the eye after the bolt has passed the eye, and the marker wont fire unless there is a ball fully in the breach. you guys will freak out with this board! Jim was telling me that Bob was testing it with a halo b on a warpfeed and was shooting a sustained 22bps. WOW!!! well youll see the pics of it on warpig to bad there was no video, I never knew that the timmi could fire so fast with just an agitating hopper. all i have to say is that the equalizer will make the sob look like a snail. and i shoot an sob personally.
well lates,
Tim

Yeah ok, what the hell does that have to do with pod mules?

Just kidding bro

Hey,

Would you mind posting the link to the "ongoing discussion?"

I assume you were talking about how fast he was firing, i dont know where to find it on there.

Thanks

Hmmm . . . If the mules were players, could they also have twin mounted Intimidators on them that could be remotely activated from a safe position. It shouldn't be too hard, just replace the trigger switch with a remote switch.

Hes taking my GZ up there and I need to up the delay because of what Vern said above, if you really get going on it it will chop even with the halo because of the bolt/eye issue. If youre still around come by and check out the 2k2s, I got a feeling its gonna be better than the GZ We got a blue fade and pewter fade in, sawweeet.

Chris,
I wil be there. Dan is riding with me to Chicago, so I kinda got to stop by and pick him up.

This one worked well with the PMI Evil Advantage at the tourney and we have tried quite a few different paints thru it so far.
I am going to have to get one for my new 2K2 now as it will way outshoot the modified revies.

I would suggest you buy stock in the Energizer Bunny as it goes thru batteries pretty quick at 6 at a time and they only last about 6000 - 8000 rounds.
That and it only holds about 160 balls and feels like you have a brick on top of your marker - but it FEEDS LIKE CRAZY.

go to wally world and get the ray-o-vac rechargable alkalines they actually put out 1.5 volts when fully charged. i used them when i had mine and loved them.

OvrEagR · 06-17-2002, 09:19 PM

Thanks wyn, I checked out the "discussion" all though it appears to be more of a bashing. I don't blame them, it is an automag forum and to be honest, it does sound a bit slow... at least in the beginning... at the very end it seems to pick up

Thank you

I use the Pure Energy ones from WalMart. $27 CDN for 12 alkaline rechargeables with a charger!

ButterfingersAO · 06-17-2002, 09:43 PM

Ill give credit when credit is due... that guy is amazingly fast I could never dream of pulling the trigger that fast.

Good work guys. I always enjoy seeing cool vids.

Chiller514 · 06-17-2002, 09:54 PM

You were talking about the Halo eating batteries well here is a cool secret. Buy Energizer Lithium digital camera AAs. They are the e(squared) series, make sure you buy the lithium batteries though. You can also find lithium 9v's on the net. My lithium 9 volt lasts 4x longer than the alkaline 9v and it is a hell of a lot lighter. Lithium is an extremely light material when compared to alkaline. 1 alkaline AA weighs the same as 3 lithium AAs. Lighed my heavy Halo up a lot. Very sweet. The batteries are available at photoshops like Ritz.

the thing about lithiums is that they cost alot of money too. Its not worth the cost.

Also they will not work well on high drain apps. The internal resistance is too high to power the motor.

Richy_C · 06-18-2002, 10:13 AM

Any one know how to extract audio and read how fast that is, I sure as heck want to know. I played with a GZ sunday, with my CP barrel. Smooth as butta

At that place there are some people with audio analysis of the video but I don't think I trust them. They're a little worked up at the thought of an Intimidator being faster than a mag.

OvrEagR · 06-18-2002, 01:43 PM

They say that the 2nd round was even slower.
Posted "proof" of 13bps and claiming there were skipped shots where the Halo-B couldn't keep up.
Anyone know if these guys are right or are they just ****ing with us?

Thank you

MilesDyson · 06-18-2002, 02:12 PM

My simple take on the video(s):

The mag shot 16 or 18 bps consistently. The Halo on it always kept up.

The timmy shot inconsistently (obviously, it was actually a guy pulling the trigger) and at some times the Halo couldn't keep up.

Isn't it safe to draw from those facts that at times the timmy was shooting faster than the mag?

Marauder · 06-18-2002, 02:13 PM

hmm i might have to sit down tonight and do the same thing to the video. the funny thing is that they could edit that picture of the sound spectrum and make it seem to shoot any speed they want. i do have to agree that he's not shooting any 22 or 28bps tho that's like 14-16 at the most. i did like the vid about the mad that's supposed to be shooting 30bps. i think it's funny how they cover up the gun with the watch the entire time. plus it sounds just like a vaccume pump we have here at the office.

wyn1370 · 06-18-2002, 02:37 PM

the mag has a new board on it that is running full auto, that's why the shots are so consitent. true there is no paint running through it, but it's still impressive.

Timmah · 06-18-2002, 03:30 PM

Who cares how fast a marker can fire without paint? Throwing paint without chopping is where it's at. 50 shots/sec does no one any good if you can't shoot paint that fast.
