We've just had delivery of the first shipment of Smart Parts HALO's today, so give us a bell on ++ (01322) 555968 if you want to hook yourself up with one!
Pretty sure the BE patents do not apply to the UK, thats why powergames were able to make and sell the autofeed type hoppers, I believe they were very similar in operation to the VL generation of hoppers.
Paul: let me know if you are interested in selling your freeflow era mod for the angel on bad.dave666@btinternet.com
Paul,
Put it this way, we got a delivery of them yesterday and they're already flying out of the door! As far as i know there are no problems with us selling them, especially as they are made for us by Odyssey.

HALO looks good but I heard that you'll only get 180 rounds into it. Leaving your opposite number with twenty more to mug you when you're potting up!
The real drawback is the oversize feed neck that don't fit anything at the moment, it looks like it could take a week of fettling to sand or shave it down to fit.
Anyway who can honestly shoot more than 10 a second constantly?
