Combine - sells out !

-

The 2013 Boston Paintball Combine was another huge successful for everyone. It has sold out again with over 65 players registered! The event was put in place years ago to give local teams the ability to look at up and coming talent or players looking to get on a team. It is held every year before the season starts and is run by 2 Pro Players that help give the players some techniques to work on the game. This year Boston Paintball brought in Nicky Cuba and Nick Slowiak. The players get split in half and each pro player takes their team and works with them for a few hours. Towards the end the players are split up into 5 man teams and then they have 5 vs 5 matches so teams can see how a player can adapt to a game situation. Its a fun but a competitive event as Cuba and Slowiak are also fighting against each other to see who can put together the better team.


During the Event, Marc Lancia from Planet Eclipse, set up a gun Demo booth so any player could have the chance to try out any Planet Eclipse marker. This went really well as player had a chance to try guns they have always wanted but maybe couldn’t afford or never had the ability to use it. Players could use Ethas, Eteks, Egos and Geos. There was 10 guns brought for players to demo and every marker was lent out the entire night to a lot of different players giving them all a chance to try everything out.



At the end of the Combine they hold a 1 vs 1 tournament with 2 divisions. The upper division winner gets a brand new Geo3, sponsored by Planet Eclipse and Boston Paintball, and the lower division winner gets a Axe. In the upper division one of the players had been demoing out a Geo3 the entire night and got to love the way the marker shot. In the end Mike Prior won the upper division using a Geo3 he demoed all night and got to walk away with a brand new of his own now.

It was good to see so many players and teams coming out to support the event. With the season right around the corner we all look forward to getting out there and playing.

Boston Paintball would like to thank Planet Eclipse for their continued support!

TECH BULLETIN: CS3 HPR Body O-Rings ⚙️

Whenever we hear reports of any issues with our products – no matter how small – we like to jump on it as soon as possible, try our best to understand the root of the problem and then provide a definitive solution. Over the last couple of weeks we have received reports of some inconsistent air leaks from the frame and POPS area of the CS3. Every marker that we produce is thoroughly tested prior to packaging and shipping, but unfortunately these leaks have developed after shipping, and normally at temperatures below those that the markers experience in testing. This is generally down to contraction – or shrinkage – of seals that occurs as the temperature drops. The leak can be heard from around the grips or, with the grips removed, from the Regulator Hole A in the side of the frame. It can also be heard from the join between the bottom of the frame and the POPS. We have traced these leaks to what appears to be a bath of bottom tolerance 016 NBR70 o-rings used on the brass HPR Body (see

PSP World Cup...#GOTEAM!

It's officially the week of the world's biggest tournament paintball event on the Planet, the PSP World Cup in Orlando-Florida and we cannot wait! With so much up for grabs this year for our teams we're super excited to see how they all perform. For some, it's about finishing what they started in 2014, for others it's about putting the team in the best possible position for 2015's first event. To help our teams build some momentum this week, beyond providing them with equipment that looks great and performs flawlessly, we thought we'd have some fun with them on social media and generate some online rivalry between them, as well as getting some fan support along the way. It's simple. We've created a number of World Cup graphics for each team that works with all kinds of awesome imagery. Simply share the image, use their hashtags and cheer them on in the real world at Cup. What's that? You don't follow them or us on Instagram? Well, her
