buy and egg and reinfrce it's weak areas- wrap insulation tape around the feed neck and screws - this stops any hits to the front weakening the plastic- also find your own way to hold the battery tray on- i used a piece of duct tape over the door- this held it no problems.
eggs are good but the halo is better an faster- just has a smaller capacity and a poor reliability rate- also they're are an absolute bitch to clean.

p.s i shoot 2 halos and 1 egg ( for when they both break)

thanks AB, that's probably the way i'll go, but you have to admit it's a sad state that paintball is in when you can spend thousands on a marker and your game is stopped by a £50-100 lump of unreliable plastic.
Hoppers get shot that's a fact, so why we have to put up with brittle hoppers and lids is beyond me?
You can shoot a tupperware box at point blank and not damage it yet your hopper gets skimmed by a ball from 50 yards and ker-ching goes the shops cash register.

Trust me, we would much rather that stuff didn't break.
Edit: Unless you are talking about Egg's in which case I don't mind them breaking one bit...
Could the reloader be made in the 'old skool' revy type plastic? or is it too soft?Originally posted by manike

So you admit it?
Eggs keep on breaking because manike goes around tournaments secretly smashing them with a hammer!!!
I knew it!!!
ive owned both eggs, and halos. my reviews:
had 3 eggs (just incase )
reasonably quick, z board was much better but still not quick enough for me, reliablity was excellent, one egg NEVER brokw down in 1 and a half years. the cosmetic spares are cheap and easy to get, but internal spares are not available readily
Halo:
had 3. heard rumours of their unreliability. tried them out, had 2 V board and one z board, V35 board was my main used one. impossibly quick, loved the position it had on my gun, good weight, and held a good amount of balls, drinks batteries if you dont unplug them after use. i have had one break on me yet
the spares are hard to get hold of usually, but i found them really easy to fix just like an egg (im technically minded though)
if you have the money, go for the halo, awesome speed, awesome everything!
