Well I finally saw one of these things in action at the Wildfire Indoor over the weekend. And well its very weird let me tell you that. It is the goofiest looking hopper I have ever seen and if you look inside it is really just a halo. And the shells are drastically thin, probably worse than an Egg. It seemed to work alright when the guy was using it and when I tried it but OH MY DEAR GOD is it loud. It literally sounds like a hurricane. I could hear the guy across the field when he was shooting OVER HIS GUN! They seem to work great but when you are using them I cannot hear the gun shoot over the hopper it is literally that loud. Honestly I would not buy this hopper for the price they are going for just based on how loud it and how very brittle it seems.

I'd love to hear others opinions if anyone else has seen or used any.

Not according to them. Not that they spoke badly of them but when given the option I noticed at Cup they only used them a handful of times and I can see why. These things are a crap design. They're just not well thought out, not easy to play with and even harder to load. Then again, they thought the Egg was a good idea too. There's a reason that the only teams using these things are the ones paid to do so!

Well the egg is a very good hopper. I like it alot just the shells are very brittle even the new beefier ones. If it wasn't for that I would use mine over the Halo becasue they are little more reliable mechanical and electrical wise than a Halo.
