You Choose The Charity

Image
Over the last few months we have been debating which charity should we donate a set of 20 th Anniversary Markers to. It’s not an easy choice as so many people have been touched at some point in their life by some form of tragedy or other. What is very important to one person means very little to the next. So we have decided to let you, the Paintball playing public, have your say. From now until the end of January 2012 we will be accepting recommendations from you guys. This may be related to something that has affected you or a friend or simply something that you feel strongly about. What we have decided to do is to choose one UK based charity and one USA based charity (due to the fact that that’s where our two main offices are located). Once all the recommendations have been submitted to info@planeteclipse.com we will choose (in our opinion) the five most note worthy charities and put them up on PBNation (USA Charity) and P8NTballer (UK Charity) for everyone to vote for.

20th Anniversary Collectors Editions

Image
In 1991 Julian and Ledz started a small Paintball company called Paintball Planet. As Paintballers, the goal of this company was to get the greatest and latest paintball gear from around the world to Paintballers in the UK. Over the last twenty years the company has evolved, grown, and changed its name to Planet Eclipse that now makes one of the finest lines of Paintball Markers and accessories the World has ever seen. The core goals of Planet from 1991 are still the very same goals we have in place today. We are constantly pushing ourselves and our products to bring today’s players the very best that we can offer them. We still play and we still realise that playing Paintball in whatever arena you choose, is all about having fun. Winning is fantastic and Planet Eclipse teams around the world bring back trophy after trophy and series championships and we hope they have still have fun doing it. Not everyone plays on one of our Pro teams, but everyone deserves the same

Marc Lancia on Tour - LVP Venezuela

Image
Marc Lancia, Planet Eclipse Sales Rep, and PJ, one of our best Planet Eclipse Techs, recently attended the final leg of the LVP Tournament Series in Venezuela. Having never been to an LVP event, the tournament gave Marc a great insight into Venezuelan Paintball. Marc was met with open arms, and looked after well, reinforcing Venezuela's hospitable nature.  "The event was a great opportunity to speak with the players and teams in order to heed how successfully Paintball has been established here, as well as to appreciate the bright future for Paintball in this country. It was great to see PJ here providing superb technical support to the players by keeping their markers running smoothly for the duration of the event. PJ also provided the players with Player Tech Classes which is a great way to pass on technical maintenance and troubleshooting skills to the players. The LVP Tournament is probably the best-run South American Series that I have ever attended - You could

Raskal take the title.

Image
Against All Odds??? Team Raskal have been plagued with injuries over the last few months. Along with work commitments and injuries piling up and the last leg of the WPPL looming it didn’t look good for Raskal.  Raskal needed a good result in the final leg to secure the WPPL Series title. After a few frantic phone calls to the Warriors and also pulling TC out of retirement for the event Raskals powered their way to not only the event win but to the WPPL series title for 2011. Well Done Raskal…. The Emortal Army Rolls On !!

Indoor Paintball in Finland anyone?

Image
Finnish summertime is perfect for paintballing. The weather is usually sunny but not too hot, cool breeze travels through the air, everything you see is beautiful greens and blue skies. But unfortunately there are three other seasons as well. To cope with those “not so great  for paintball” seasons and to make it possible to play paintball throughout the year Paintball Sissos ltd has opened a new indoor arena in the heart of Helsinki, Finland. Instead of going the traditional route of trying to find a low budget , just big enough for some bunkers to get a couple of games going during the winter, Sissos went all out with this one. We rented a whole floor from a huge industrial building, commonly nicknamed as “The Bunker”, with a whopping 5000 square meters of floor space. Specs:....Heated, almost full sized millennium field (30m x 45m) with no interfering support pillars, turf, double safety nettings, pit & staging areas with tables for several simultaneous playing groups,

Bad Moji winning OFF the field.

Image
Bad Moji Win The Bling! Planet Eclipse Sponsored UK Scenario Team; Bad Moji, have completed their first year in style. Formed in November 2010 Bad Moji hit the UK Scenario scene with passion, detirmination and a thurst to be crazy, mad winners! Playing as many events as they could get to, including Stalingrad, Carentan, D-Day, Resident Evil and the Super6 Series, not to mention a nice trip to Croatia for Call To Duty III, Bad Moji became a known and a likable team.... Their antics on the field, including 'Ninja Barrel Tagging at D-Day' and being the Zombie Horde Vs 75 players at Resident Evil, where they faced 'Head Shot eliminations only' earnt them respect and a name for being slightly insane! Off the field the antics are just as bad, regulary playing jokes on each other and getting most people involved made for good times during the player parties. September for  Bad Moji wasnt as bright. The Team lost Deej Matts in a trajic accident which left all the pl
