Warrior Shells/Suicide Shells

[Foxxy]

Well, last night after I got home from work I did some researching. At AVP JJ, told me to get some Warrior shells because I am in need of some new shells and lid. Well I was reading some reviews and all, and from what I've read they break easily for a lot of people. I also looked into the Hybrid Suicide Shells, and they are really nice from what I see. So I think I might get those instead if I don't just get a new one completely and use my old halo for q-pods. But anyways I can't find the suicide shells in any color than white. Any help, anybody know of anywhere that has them in black, smoke, grey, olive, etc?
I looked at action village already, and Punishers.

The Warrior ones wont break on you..they are litterally the Hybrid shells without the Hybrid Logo on the side. I took alot of hard falls with mine and it didnt break. Also, Hybrid is out of business.

[Foxxy]

Yea, I heard they were out of business. I'll probably order the Warrior shells this weekend then maybe.

[Foxxy]

Well I ordered the shells today from Punishers should be here by Thursday I'm gonna assume.

[Varnel]

Very nice! I had a set of them when I had my halo. They won't let ya down.

[Foxxy]

very nice. I took the old shells off my halo and cleaned it out, i might need help with the new shells but i should be fine getting it on myself, except the spring in the cone. but I can watch the video on the site for that.

So, something I just remembered, at the beginning of the season I broke the shell feedneck not the interior feedneck in my Halo. Well for some stupid reason I super glued it back on. . . . . to the interior feedneck. Well needless to say I didn't pay any attention to it and bought the shells, the shells arent going fit on it unless the broken piece of feedneck is taken off. Well I sat on my floor last night and tried to pry it off but that didn't work except for taking off about a quarter of it. So I took a file and shaved it down back to its regular size, and is fine now. Now I just need some fine sand paper to smooth it out and make it look neat again.

Just something interesting I thought I might share with you all.

[Varnel]

Let us know how it turns out...if you can't get it I'm sure we can come up with something.

[Foxxy]

I'm sure it'll be fine. I ordered the shells on Sunday and I still haven't gotten a confirmation email saying that it has shipped from the warehouse though.

[Foxxy]

Well, I recieved a email about a half hour ago saying that the black Warrior shells I ordered are out of stock, but they want to know if I would like any other color. Should I just get smoke now or wait for black to get in stock it doesn't really matter to me. I'm actually just happy that they emailed me letting me know and are very nice about helping their customers.
So smoke now or wait for black?

[Enhander]

Depends on if your set on black. Smoke's not too bad.

[Foxxy]

I was thinking smoke, I wanted black, but I can go smoke. I just wonder how smoke it really is because I dont want bright paint to show through and stick out to much.
Well, I guess it doesnt really matter since I'm using a Sunset Orange marker anyways lol. I guess I'll just order smoke to get it here quicker.

[Varnel]

Yea I use a smoke Pulse and it isn't bad. It is actually helpful as you can easily see how much paint you have left through the shell, but the downside is the other team can too. The only thing you have to keep in mind is the smoke isn't as durable as black. Don;t get me wrong they wouldn't sell smoke if it was junk, but they are made of different materials and they have different toughnesses. Just throwing that out there.

So what am I saying? If I was you I would get the smoke shells and be done with it. Just don't be using it as a hammer or anything.

[Foxxy]

Yea, I guess I'll gt the smoke. I don't get hit in the hopper that much anyways so I don't think the strength of the hopper would be that big of a deal, as long as I don't fall onit or drop it.

[Varnel]

Yea, loader hits won't cause it to break. It does leave little rings on it like it does on your lense sometimes if you get gogged. Nothing to bad, but you know it's there. As for it breaking you really only have to worry about the feedneck area. If you take a really hard fall or something onto the loader it may snap at the neck, but nothing to worry about to much as long as you are not carrying a white Flood Balloon at Halo...
