Having played a lot in the late 90's through early 2000's and then just recently coming back I missed out on a wide chunk of gear and have questions. I am looking to switch out a Dye Rotor R2 as I have had numerous jamming issues with it. Maybe I just got a lemon but I have adjusted tension, batteries, cleaned, etc. and it just seems to have problems.
I was leaning towards picking up a Spire IR2 but then I saw the Halo Too and being a fan of Halos am intrigued. Most of the guns I would use this on are older, uncapped semi electros, some without eyes so I like that it is forcefed and a bit faster than newer stuff. It also looks slightly improved (tool-less battery door, new electronics). That said, what I can't quite tell is if the shell is improved over the older models? Is it still the brittle polycarbonate that cracks if you bump it wrong? I am specifically looking at the solid black or live ones that look like the more flexible plastics used now, not the see through ones. Also, any general thoughts?
I am familiar with the basic issues with a Halo like weight, weak backplates, etc. I also had a Reloader B back in the day and am familiar with the sound activated feature of these and never had a problem before although it is not my personal favorite.
Honestly, I'm leaning towards just getting a Spire but I do like having a (semi) period correct hopper on my old guns 😂​
