Gone are the days of single team dominance as we welcome an era that brings wider levels of team performance and consistency, which for the observer is tremendous to watch.

Their commitment, drive and desire to win is clear for all to see and the talent base they have is enviable. Many opponents find it hard to look beyond their aggressive playing style and their ability to destroy excellent teams within seconds, but they're much, much smarter and well-balanced than that. Case in point, you take two key players out of the equation, Axel Gaudin and Fabrice 'Tava' Colombo and what happens?

An Free port Island made in spices and entrepot trading and resupplying ships to and from the Indian Ocean. Modern Penang is also a renowned tourist destination both for local and international visitors for its food, heritage, hotels, beaches, cruise terminal and family activities. This island rich with culture and ethnic diversity was also the venue of our Northern Paintball Super league – on May 12th and 13th.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">With the fullest support from the City Council of Penang – Majlis Bandaraya Pulau Pinang – MBPP, and hosted on Georgetown city centre’s beautiful Polo Grounds saw the largest paintball tournament, Penang International Cup in Malaysia of the past few years with 89 teams. We are very grateful for MBPP who provided free lunch and drink for players, supporters and spectators alike for this two days event and we must say the only tournament in Malaysia that provided free foods and drinks .

Inception played well against all the top teams in South East Asia in the Open Division. What can you say when being used in a tournament for the first time straight of the box, the CS3 shot brilliantly and beautifully ! Got the CS3 on a Friday evening, chrono on the Saturday and Champions on the Sunday. That’s what Planet Eclipse factory Team Inception from Thailand just did.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Played all their preliminary games and qualified for the Quarter Finals without any issues or problems with their CS3. It just shot so sweet that the players just couldn’t believe it. Its accuracy and consistency shot on shot was just unbelievable, literally straight out of the box without any running in. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizs8sG5w8wQVmhRdHxcHD-pgkWudBnLtAvgu4mXC5FIPMQvcxQQAHp8bIyZAVRLs92qmsioYEjTPPKeaH4klHHjxV1m34abiWDdEUA9iqlzARviRzG2NVJCxPjCYCGnwNIpyiVeEiE9dnbd7fZWk8DVAsXu1UVjZKpk43JUV3nN3_ZfobRexolA5_O/s4919/WMD_8106-1%20copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3279" data-original-width="4919" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizs8sG5w8wQVmhRdHxcHD-pgkWudBnLtAvgu4mXC5FIPMQvcxQQAHp8bIyZAVRLs92qmsioYEjTPPKeaH4klHHjxV1m34abiWDdEUA9iqlzARviRzG2NVJCxPjCYCGnwNIpyiVeEiE9dnbd7fZWk8DVAsXu1UVjZKpk43JUV3nN3_ZfobRexolA5_O/w640-h426/WMD_8106-1%20copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Playing in the 37*C heat and nearly 100% humidity, it was a very taxing day but Inception held it all together.

It’s a level that we are not used to playing but we were able to pass first in our group and make a solid fifth place. We are very happy with the result and the decision to play the CPPS and we know it is an important step to our growth as a team and to strengthen the relationship with our sponsors.</p><p><b>Great to see more teams branching out, travelling and playing other Tournament Series'.

It's exciting, fun and so rewarding when a good result is had. Respect to Sporting CP for not only making the trip over, but for a great result AND for taking to time to tell us about their incredible club structure.

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.</p><p>The leak can be heard from around the grips or, with the grips removed, from the <b>Regulator Hole A</b> in the side of the frame. It can also be heard from the join between the bottom of the frame and the POPS.</p><p>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 photo).</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSCJquF9Wmp8UlC01D1NmmvQVDkemsBxMQQUqc6bT7QPTGcmTZpyZzXkj40zliP3Q5Zi57f-VWO3JBOYGkiQ62LEg1xTRu4pHQ2IBNmDjec1uxBwKrX1ac1STHRePjvFcoBVN4-DIJ01RVeNOMaDB4sPujYEdGhoUPOvGLhArDmiFv7c-FZay51wU0qg/s1200/cs3-pops-blog-image.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="861" height="839" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSCJquF9Wmp8UlC01D1NmmvQVDkemsBxMQQUqc6bT7QPTGcmTZpyZzXkj40zliP3Q5Zi57f-VWO3JBOYGkiQ62LEg1xTRu4pHQ2IBNmDjec1uxBwKrX1ac1STHRePjvFcoBVN4-DIJ01RVeNOMaDB4sPujYEdGhoUPOvGLhArDmiFv7c-FZay51wU0qg/w607-h839/cs3-pops-blog-image.jpg" width="607" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>To completely remove the likelihood of this leak reoccurring we recommend replacing both of these #016 NBR70 o-rings on the brass HPR body with 14x2 NBR70 o-rings. You can find 6 of these 14x2 NBR70 o-rings in the Spares baggie that comes with every CS3.</p><p>If your marker has never experienced a leak from this area, there is no imminent need to change out these o-rings. However, if you want full peace of mind that these seals won’t ever cause a potential issue in the future, please feel free to change them out now. As these are static o-rings (non-dynamic) the tighter fitment of the 14x2 NBR70 is not to be of concern, and once replaced, unlikely to need replacing again in the future.</p><p>If you require any assistance with replacing these o-rings please contact your nearest Eclipse Service Centre or contact us directly either through the <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/PETechHub" target="_blank">FaceBook Planet Eclipse Tech Hub</a></b> or by emailing us at <b>customerservice@planeteclipse.com</b></p><p>We apologise deeply for any issues this may have caused.

We recognised that something drastic needed to happen for the future of the game, to help it compete with other leisure activities and to make it a really fun experience for everyone. And to succeed, to really make a difference is something we're very proud of. But don't just take our word for it, our park owners agree.<div><br /></div><div>We spoke with Tom from OSG in New England (USA) who had this to say ></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Tell us a little about OSG.</b></div><div><div> </div><div>OSG Paintball is located in Barnstead NH. Paintball started in New Hampshire and we have kept the tradition alive and thriving in the state since it all began in1993.
OSG is the largest, most developed paintball park in New England. We have 12 themed fields which span across 43 acres. You’ll find everything from a large Pirate Ship, a Halo Scorpion Tank, to a Western Town and a two-story Star Wars AT-AT. We are 100% woodsball. No speedball here. We recently upgraded our food service, adding a food truck and a 32 foot bar serving delicious food and local brews, appropriately dubbed The Bunker.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXFK7Rkjnodwq2WwMTEZRp32Pxim8iwM5wR8MUimCiaaNiUOC417YUvuRpIlq6Ost23zfVcXeYoNgMAY2HfRgzjbsWAa8HggWfaW5EKk2SaqTYw6woOhdU_7sFL265esYI5OTY6bAeBPFhQMNmw85KCFABuWDU_WsM5QUI9ZfFBVb-pHsMnm2toyDU2w/s2048/158094253_10159073126216192_4001911117949638297_n.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1366" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXFK7Rkjnodwq2WwMTEZRp32Pxim8iwM5wR8MUimCiaaNiUOC417YUvuRpIlq6Ost23zfVcXeYoNgMAY2HfRgzjbsWAa8HggWfaW5EKk2SaqTYw6woOhdU_7sFL265esYI5OTY6bAeBPFhQMNmw85KCFABuWDU_WsM5QUI9ZfFBVb-pHsMnm2toyDU2w/w640-h426/158094253_10159073126216192_4001911117949638297_n.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUh_ZOfme7T-joSuj_hDqC9etQSoXShO81ryPsti4KUl8FuPQwI3VfS2sCRo_4P5xfcOMum9HI456cI7VFry-P5mgPwVwI6P-SADPT-3wZXaWHTaYW1rMz__LX8zi3pmVe1PGZOYtAp6SsfG7bWx0vYvfVC9HRf94wRB6kNt4Lq_az3ylK-3HeU1oI6w/s1796/122815197_10158743630666192_2530782341810400713_n.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1198" data-original-width="1796" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUh_ZOfme7T-joSuj_hDqC9etQSoXShO81ryPsti4KUl8FuPQwI3VfS2sCRo_4P5xfcOMum9HI456cI7VFry-P5mgPwVwI6P-SADPT-3wZXaWHTaYW1rMz__LX8zi3pmVe1PGZOYtAp6SsfG7bWx0vYvfVC9HRf94wRB6kNt4Lq_az3ylK-3HeU1oI6w/w640-h426/122815197_10158743630666192_2530782341810400713_n.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZKtLE9iDmP8lx1rPY8RkGxZrvxp-3BrV7ymTcw-_buzEBU9ywW8x55b1F8TFRZXk3k_0HKAlxazm7AzfWZjLy5DDWNMhST_QY3_-zICuYTtqtgPxsLwtJmZbn1WreSVHf2t8QRZW6wwGVGUwa9XZCbb-JKSL7IMmMYPClt_fOiW9N2srTfoekBoM52A/s2048/228177459_10159417550916192_5948195069656400103_n.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1366" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZKtLE9iDmP8lx1rPY8RkGxZrvxp-3BrV7ymTcw-_buzEBU9ywW8x55b1F8TFRZXk3k_0HKAlxazm7AzfWZjLy5DDWNMhST_QY3_-zICuYTtqtgPxsLwtJmZbn1WreSVHf2t8QRZW6wwGVGUwa9XZCbb-JKSL7IMmMYPClt_fOiW9N2srTfoekBoM52A/w640-h426/228177459_10159417550916192_5948195069656400103_n.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div> </div><div><b>When did you replace your fleet with EMEKS?</b></div><div> </div><div>We finished the full transition of our fleet by June 2018. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="363" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IVkYfs0KlFE" width="436" youtube-src-id="IVkYfs0KlFE"></iframe></div><br /><div><br /></div><div> </div><div><b>What drew you to the EMEK?</b></div><div> </div><div>So this is an interesting story. In 2017 we reached out to Planet Eclipse to replace our entire rental fleet with Gmeks. We saw the Gamma Core as a perfect all-weather rental replacement for a northern New England field. We were ready to pay a premium at the time to save us on maintenance, limit cold weather issues, and improve the overall first-time player experience. Each Gamma Core was tested for 5x the amount of shots of the standard rental gun, so even though we would be paying 3x the price, spending the extra up front was a no-brainer over the long haul.</div><div><br /></div><div>
Luckily during the early stages of conversations with our sales rep, we were told that something was coming that we should wait for that would check all of the same boxes. Next thing you know, we have Emeks show up at the field to test. Within 6 months we were running the largest rental fleet of them in the USA. The rest is history. </div><div> </div><div><b>Has the EMEK made life easier for staff?</b></div><div> </div><div>This was the driving force behind the switch. Maintenance is easier. Cleaning is easier. Longevity is substantially better, and being able to shoot more brittle paint lets us shoot a higher quality field paintball. In this case, we are shooting a custom G.I 4 Star ball with a 3 Star fill. </div><div> </div><div><b>How have EMEKs changed the customer experience?</b></div><div> </div><div>Our journey–since 2016–has really been all about improving the customer experience and trying to bring it to a level comparable to other outdoor recreation activities. We added thermal masks to our rental packages in 2016, for example. Making players pay an upgrade fee to be able to see is a horrible business practice as far as we are concerned. In 2017/2018 we wanted to level the playing field by offering a rental marker that was a bit more on par with what our regular players were using. When we made the switch, things immediately became more competitive and fun. Rental players were making shots they simply couldn’t make before. They shoot more paintballs (a 25% increase to be precise), and players were buying them left and right because it was a fun, inexpensive option to add to their marker collections. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/l8K-7u1J6nA" width="432" youtube-src-id="l8K-7u1J6nA"></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>What features have really made the most difference?</b></div><div> </div><div>The Gamma Core. We get more shots per tank, little to no maintenance, we can shoot brittle paint, all weather reliability, and it makes shooting rentals fun! </div><div> </div><div><b>Do you use PAL or PAL QD loader systems?</b></div><div> </div><div>The PAL system is great in the hands of an experienced player. We found that it worked as advertised. The issues we ran into were when we put it into the hands of a first timer. They shoot long, fast streams because the gun is so easy to shoot and they don’t hold the gun vertical. Training this out of new players is hard, especially on top of all the other information they need to take in on day one. Does the PAL system work? Absolutely. Our rentals are better because of it.
That being said, we are aiming to switch our entire rental fleet to Speedster loaders for 2022. The PAL system was always a bridge to get to this point. Luckily, PE has an affordable, durable solution in the Speedster loader. We expect this to be the final piece of the puzzle to offering one of, if not the best first time paintball experience you will find anywhere in the USA. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="362" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SIliDzKDKzw" width="436" youtube-src-id="SIliDzKDKzw"></iframe></div><br /><div><br /></div><div> </div><div><b>Any interesting stories that the EMEK has been a part of?</b></div><div> </div><div>We have actually cerakoted a bunch of these to make a few incredibly unique markers. The Halo 2 BR, a Mandalorian themed marker, an American flag version we dubbed “The FreEmek”, a Zombie themed version, and a few other more generic distressed colored emeks. The ability to customize these markers is endless and we love them even more for that. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxSOkvjYFGhC4eG4DvlkFB60v5XceV3bLtm4Pap1jVm126T5DDPkYlH0HL6F3RyJZwCVoJcN0CC-K7W9onKtdGqItlD_81o5y9xdfnVyBLs2xohTgDNmHIiFgLN0erWFLTvkH2JtlAxI8niKa6kcOjreTCGarqGbE_JHzb5UJqg4kOmULND3-b3b1dEA/s1725/122474689_10158743634331192_3189701596323491691_n.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1151" data-original-width="1725" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxSOkvjYFGhC4eG4DvlkFB60v5XceV3bLtm4Pap1jVm126T5DDPkYlH0HL6F3RyJZwCVoJcN0CC-K7W9onKtdGqItlD_81o5y9xdfnVyBLs2xohTgDNmHIiFgLN0erWFLTvkH2JtlAxI8niKa6kcOjreTCGarqGbE_JHzb5UJqg4kOmULND3-b3b1dEA/w640-h428/122474689_10158743634331192_3189701596323491691_n.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeG_hp_HGOuJG24StTzkJEx8rk-8h5eyCcDR40hEoVcv-Dz-NuXr5GYpofTEl-jOjERmCNWx6S3EScmJVc__k9UCwRxm1RQLhVkF2U4Zi4RGpOBIkfdx9NWUoiN8sAZ4Gj9f9G0THqUHlSJiNhx9f0cjgYABUlaKNiymE39O1AaIxRbtr3Xwe3sCp0ZA/s1739/122573707_10158743634221192_2081349464622666495_n.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1160" data-original-width="1739" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeG_hp_HGOuJG24StTzkJEx8rk-8h5eyCcDR40hEoVcv-Dz-NuXr5GYpofTEl-jOjERmCNWx6S3EScmJVc__k9UCwRxm1RQLhVkF2U4Zi4RGpOBIkfdx9NWUoiN8sAZ4Gj9f9G0THqUHlSJiNhx9f0cjgYABUlaKNiymE39O1AaIxRbtr3Xwe3sCp0ZA/w640-h426/122573707_10158743634221192_2081349464622666495_n.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div> </div><div><b>Any last thoughts about the EMEK you'd like to share?</b></div><div> </div><div>The Emek is the best thing to happen to paintball since the thermal mask.

However, a very simple issue did arise at the hands of a regular retail customer, which has raised concerns and led to swift action on our part.</p><p><b>What’s the problem?</b></p><p>The customer in question wound out the HPR (Velocity) adjuster to its limit, then proceeded to force it past its natural and obvious limit stops, leading to the retaining clip flexing out of position and the HPR regulator disengaging from the regulator housing. We at Planet Eclipse do not accept the solution to simply be a statement saying ‘don’t screw the adjuster beyond its limits’, so we have had an updated part manufactured to ensure that the HPR cannot be accidentally disengaged from the regulator housing.</p><p><b>When will we see a fix?</b></p><p>We tested the new part on Thursday 23rd June and are happy that the issue is fixed when this new part is installed.

This was my first year playing pro and we (Hurricanes) were a younger, inexperienced team. I remember specifically being at a league meeting before the event started and they told us that only the teams who make the top 8 (Sunday Club) would be a part of the show. I remember some of the other Pros telling me not to worry about it cause we wouldn't make the cut. One of those guys was a part of DC Arsenal, who we played and beat. I got a 4 pack against them and laughed my way off the field. They didn't make the cut. We did. I then went on to be an ESPN paintball star! Joke was on them 🤣</p><p><br /></p><p><b><i>Favourite Eclipse marker you've used?</i></b></p><p>The 2013 Golden GSL!

Throughout his evolution as a player his consistency and ability to deliver, against all odds, at all levels, is legendary and has lead him to play with some of Europe's very best teams, including a stint with Russian powerhouses Art Chaos.</p><p>Clint is living proof that the desire to compete and to perform never leaves you and neither does work ethic. His current role as Player/Coach with the UK's #1 team, the Lucky 15s, is testament to that and the team will be much tougher, more resilient, smarter, sharper and more capable than ever before because of him.</p><p>We salute you Clint and your place as an EMortal Legend has been well and truly earned.</p><p>And as with all of our Emortal Army Legends we asked three very simple questions.</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgSvwnVstxX-v__BwqI4T9SYg_xGe7wnQK4WdcRN5qaF84Mc6nUhGrG7kNL1LY50gB1-oc1uf05q40rECd-Ofw1rbEWC0zDeugFAhrlMMq-QErLJbzWZ7kVluF5E3pJUw77dW-JadhaMnAnziYiiKzBJQu9z8VC5hDtaPM-rgDRY2ZoRdYaoptIGXaStw=s1200" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgSvwnVstxX-v__BwqI4T9SYg_xGe7wnQK4WdcRN5qaF84Mc6nUhGrG7kNL1LY50gB1-oc1uf05q40rECd-Ofw1rbEWC0zDeugFAhrlMMq-QErLJbzWZ7kVluF5E3pJUw77dW-JadhaMnAnziYiiKzBJQu9z8VC5hDtaPM-rgDRY2ZoRdYaoptIGXaStw=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Image: Blitzed Media</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div><p><b><i>Favourite paintball moment?</i></b></p><p>I have a few moments which stand out, but the highlight must be the first pro win, winning Millennium Series World Cup in Toulouse 2008 with London Nexus. We beat a star studded Philly Americans teams 5.1 in the final. The second greatest moment (very close between these two) was winning the Nations Cup with Team GB.</p><p>There are a few more that I'll throw in too.</p><p>With Team GB we tied 2-2 with Norway with only 2 min to go, and within 10sec off the break I was the last man standing. We did hit one of them of the break which meant it was a 4 on 1. Somehow I was able to dig in and won the point with 30sec to go. I will always recall every second of this point as the crowd went absolutely crazy after that. </p><p>At the same event we [Nexus] smashed Dynasty 5-0 in the semi finals, that was an epic time; Lang was on that team then too, 2012 I think.</p><p>And then there's the time I won a 4 on 1 against Edmonton Impact, beating them 5-0 for 3rd place finish in Germany... I'll stop there.</p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><b><i>Favourite Eclipse marker you've used?</i></b></p><p>I must say its got to be the one I've been shooting all last season with lucky 15's. The CS2 pro. It's been extremely consistent all year. I've not had to change any O-rings or had any problems with it at all. I can honestly say I didn't even brake a single ball all season. Outstanding marker. </p><p>And yes, I have played with it - 🤣</p><p><b><i><br /></i></b></p><p><b><i>What's the story behind your jersey number?</i></b></p><p><i>Sorry, and I bet you get this a lot, but it's simple.

The PUSH generation will reminisce fondly about his antics with paintball's original rockstar squad, Team Avalanche, and his continued infamy and successes with teams throughout the golden age of tournament paintball. </p><p>So all hail Glory Boy.

Playing with the Banzai Bandits in Holmbush (UK), staying at Jacko's pad and having the hottest (and first) Curry of my life was a fun time. However, I have to say one of the best moments in my career was leaving the NXL to play NPPL with Infamous, beating Dynasty in Tampa and then winning again in the next Denver event, against XSV, was amazing. </p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><b><i>Favourite Eclipse marker you've used?</i></b></p><p><i>Everything from Eclipse that hits my hands is INSANE. Never disappoints me, always works and I never clean my gear, if I'm honest. The EMEK I use for the ICPL's is hands down the best on the market but for the big tourneys I love my CS2. And the mech frame for the CS2 is the balls. You guys are consistently upping the marker game and always so innovative. Undeniably the best in the business. </i></p><p><b><i><br /></i></b></p><p><b><i>What's been the standout era in paintball for you?</i></b></p><p><i>I dont think I have a certain era of the game that stands out because I have so many good memories of them all in the looooong tender in the sport I have had. I do have to say the Avalanche era has to be the standout as it really helped the paintball community see that we are a true sport. That we inspire people, sponsors and companies and we helped the industry recognize that players do have an impact. Ultimately, players are promoters and they do help push the people that stand behind them. It's a win-win for everyone at the end of the day. Avalanche was the true rock band of paintball and took our industry to the next level. I'm very proud of that. </i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>Thanks for your time Chris and thanks for... being you.</p><p><i>I just want to thank everyone who has helped me in this long trip and Eclipse has been a HUGE part of that along the way. Wish I could mention everyone but the list is to long. Push Paintball is my home and with the help of FNDN, Planet Eclipse, Infamous Paintball, Hormesis and countless others I would not be able to continue this amazing journey and for this I thank you all.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Tune in next week for our next Emortal Legend!

To be able to win that event with my friends, old and new, was incredible. To be able to do it against the most winningest team, arguably the best in the history of tournament paintball, also made it all the sweeter. That whole year was rough and even though it ended with my first professional win it was bitter sweet, but one of the best memories of my life.</i></p><p><b><i>Favourite Eclipse marker you've used?</i></b></p><p><i>My favorite Planet Eclipse marker was a 2011 Ego. Jack Wood personally gave me the marker and showed me how to make the most of its features. It always worked, always chronographed right, and it always shot straight. It got the nickname 'Black Mamba'. For me Ego > Geo.</i></p><p><b><i>What's the story behind your number?</i></b></p><p><i>I grew up playing baseball and had a bunch of different numbers growing up. I don't think I ever cared what it was. My first paintball jersey with my name and # on the back had 99. If I actually think about it, I was just given the number 23 on Aftershock. From then to present I've gone from 23 to 24 and back again.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks Nick, we always appreciate you.</p><p>Stay tuned for next week's featured Emortal.</p>Planet Eclipsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12747682077103187834noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753718103854527187.post-72626759774487484292022-01-19T17:30:00.002+00:002022-01-21T10:14:58.167+00:00Emortal Army Legends #2 - Mike Bruno<p><b>#5 Mike Bruno</b></p><p>They don't come more passionate than our next Emortal. Mike Bruno has had a legendary playing career, notably dominating everyone with Aftershock in the early years. He's consistently been an aggressive and scary player during paintball's development years and continues to be influential today. His fight and spirit is something to behold and he can be a truly motivating force. Many of the game's most aggressive players today wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Mike.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhDRFjX1vmD7hAy9rMRcNEOJrRrjcgPMkPShDmvjT88iwSIk-gieIQB3oWZmrGgHlUxXDQZQLkI0dYvMAdA1W3iIpkAVxpVBlCKDqdSqCLXQmKOljhJoiHd6Z3ilWcmStTHD7PTY2Js5zUIlA2VXiXuQVIay3v5L9SB0KmCwHsKo_hCMykZM7OSoURAjQ=s1200" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhDRFjX1vmD7hAy9rMRcNEOJrRrjcgPMkPShDmvjT88iwSIk-gieIQB3oWZmrGgHlUxXDQZQLkI0dYvMAdA1W3iIpkAVxpVBlCKDqdSqCLXQmKOljhJoiHd6Z3ilWcmStTHD7PTY2Js5zUIlA2VXiXuQVIay3v5L9SB0KmCwHsKo_hCMykZM7OSoURAjQ=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>As with all Emortals, we asked him the same 3 questions.</p><p><br /></p><p><i><b>Favourite paintball moment?</b></i></p><p><i>My favorite paintball moment(s) would surely be when I was a young man and the very first 4 events I played were as pro, with Aftershock (of course) and we won them all (of course). It doesn’t get sweeter than that.</i></p><p><i><b>Favourite Eclipse marker you've used?</b></i></p><p><i>My favourite and best marker is the one in the photo. My Mike Bruno 05 GEO GSL. The best.</i></p><p><b><i>What's the story behind your number?</i></b></p><p><i>The story behind my player number? Pretty simple. It comes from my eldest son's birthday being the 5th.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for these Mike, but come on, you gotta have more. Any cool stories from your first wins? You must have some stand out memories from the early years on Aftershock – not saying that winning your first ever Pro matches isn't awesome enough – because it is.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Ok, so my biggest memories were from Boston, my first proper event you could say. It was my first big pro event. I hung the flag in the finals against the Terminators with seconds left. Then we played against the Ironmen in the final and I literally had no paint left, Doogie shot me in the chest BUT the ball bounced due to my overly large clothing. I caught the ball and shot him with his own paintball. That’s a fact!</i></p><p><i>I hung that flag also with seconds left to win the event. Pretty cool.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Brilliant! Thanks Mike!</p><p>Stay tuned until next week when we roll out our next Emortal.

This team has a solid roster with familiar faces either playing, or working within the organisation, and these guys mean business. We're tipping the Saints to really stick it to their opponents in 2022, so expect to see them knocking on the Sunday Club door quite early in the season.</p><p><br /></p><p>Team Coach Diego Santos said this about our partnership:</p><p><i><b>Latin Saints are proud to announce that we will be shooting Planet Eclipse markers for the 2022 season. We feel that Planet Eclipse has a long and rich history of making the best markers in paintball. We understand that to perform at the highest level you need reliable equipment and service, which Planet Eclipse provide. We are beyond exited to have them as a sponsor for our first year in the NXL professional division.</b></i></p><p><br /></p><p>2022 is already shaping up to be an entertaining one.

Our success has been forged by many, so we want to pay homage to those players and individuals who have shaped the paintball industry, inspired us as players and helped to drive our business forwards. </p><p>Some of these legends have been Shooting Eclipse since the very beginning, and some for only for a short period in their illustrious careers, but to us here at Planet Eclipse HQ every one of them are considered EMORTALS.</p><p>We're releasing a set of 52 player cards – one per week – to shine a light on these individuals who we're eternally grateful to.</p><p>And yes, we'll eventually print these as a full set of playing cards, but more on that later.</p><p>Part of this release will include a short blog post (right here) where the chosen player will answer 3 simple questions:</p><p><i>1. What's your favourite moment in paintball?</i></p><p><i>2. What's your favourite Eclipse marker that you've ever played with?</i></p><p><i>3. What's the story behind your jersey number?</i></p><p>So let's begin with our first feature player.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>#45 Colt Roberts.</b></p><p><i>AKA The Peacemaker.

Winning an event is extremely difficult at the pro level. I've done that and it’s awesome. Winning World Cup is even harder. I've done that and it's even more awesome. But being the most consistent Pro Team all season and winning back-to-back events is something that very few teams have done. It’s definitely a career defining moment that I am proud of.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>2:</b><br />My favorite Eclipse marker of all time is probably my private label Colt 45 Peacemaker GEO 3.5. It was my very first private label gun and holds a lot of sentimental value. I still get people asking me to this day to buy one. They are very hard to come by because they were so popular. Not to mention that the 3.5 was one of the best shooting guns of all time, right behind the CS2 Pro that we are shooting now.<br /><br /></div><div><b>3:</b></div><div>Actually, I was always number 11 in every other sport I played. It was my dads football number and my favorite number. But moving over to paintball I switched to #45 in honor of the Colt 45 caliber Peacemaker revolver. One of the most iconic firearms in history that is still manufactured today, almost 150 years later. It has stood the test of time and I’d like to do the same.</div><div><br /><div><br /></div><div>Thanks Colt!</div><div><br /></div><div>Tune in next week for our next feature Emortal.</div><p></p></div>Planet Eclipsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12747682077103187834noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753718103854527187.post-43824306570069087292021-07-15T14:38:00.001+01:002021-07-15T14:38:06.919+01:00EMF100 - So good they are stealing them!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BFNO_XmlhI4/YPAysrsn2SI/AAAAAAAATNI/t53BS2yOEkURjVB9xV8mPG7auCxIHB_KgCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/Truck-Clipart.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="309" data-original-width="400" height="309" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BFNO_XmlhI4/YPAysrsn2SI/AAAAAAAATNI/t53BS2yOEkURjVB9xV8mPG7auCxIHB_KgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h309/Truck-Clipart.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><o:p>Yes, i</o:p>t’s happened again! A recent shipment from the UK

register these on our database and if any of these markers surface we will
report the details to the police.</p>

we have heard a few people saying that the winding up of mag isn’t easy. Well,
firstly always make sure that the top mag roller shutter door is OPEN when you wind the CF20 mag
up that will make it a lot easier. Second, you can always use a 1/8<span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">" </span>Allen key (velocity key) to wind up the mag and if that’s not good enough here
are a couple of other solutions you might like.<o:p></o:p></p>
