Calling all CS2 owners! We're currently developing the Planet Eclipse E-Portal Lite App . It isn't finished yet but we've decided to release it to a limited number of 'first come, first served' Beta testers, as we did with our Eclipse O-Ring Finder App. One of these Beta Testers could be YOU! This App is only available to CS2 Owners; it's the only marker in our range that has Bluetooth connectivity installed. Due to its Beta Test status there are a couple of extra steps needed to access the App, but if you want to get involved please follow the instructions below. Disclaimer: In order to fully test this app you will need to re-program the Primary and Secondary circuit boards of your CS2 with new firmware which could potentially have some bugs in it. Planet Eclipse accept no responsibility for any penalties that may arise as a result of using the beta firmware in a competitive playing environment. If you are uncomfortable re-programming your CS2 then you will sti...

Since we first created our own Paintball marker back in 2004, the Planet Eclipse EGO, we've constantly tested and evaluated different lubricants. To date we have yet to find a range of lubricants that out-perform Planet Eclipse Oil and Grease in any meaningful metric.  We constantly evaluate other brands of lubricant with intensive in-house trials for both performance and longevity, across a broad range of temperatures and operating conditions and we believe that the Planet Eclipse Oil and Grease that we supply, as standard, with every marker we produce is the very best product for the job. It offers exceptional performance in the widest possible range of conditions, whilst offering longevity and reliability to all the components that go to make up our markers. All of our lubricants are also approved for use by our OEM suppliers. This is not the case for other lubricants on the market. It is often the case that while some lubricants may claim to be superior to the ones we recommend...

Planet Eclipse celebrates 25 Years In The Game, so we thought we'd share 25 key moments from those 25 years with you guys. Right here. On our blog. We managed to get the main men together and agree on a list of the 25 moments that we all agree stuck in our minds throughout our amazing 25 year journey. So each month we'll post a little story or two that will give you an insight into what we like and where we've actually been as a company, as paintballers and as people. So, strap yourselves in for #01. We thought we'd start our series of posts right at the very beginning. With our very first customer and our very first quid (fyi - a quid is one English pound in currency). The company was called Paintball Planet back then and we had a little shop on Deansgate Road in Manchester, UK. At the time (1991) paintball was full of weird and wonderful characters and I swear the shop saw all of them come through the doors. The shop was small and we tried to cram as much aweso...
