Now that CF20 mags are hitting the stores around the World 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 " 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. Paintball.de have prototype winders in stock and are very inexpensive. Simple easy wind up tool: CLICK HERE We also designed one here for winding up the test mags over and over again and had it 3D printed. A little on the over engineered side but does a great job of winding up in seconds. We have uploaded this ‘crank’ design for people to download (for free) and to 3D print if they would like. We recommend printing in nylon using an SLS or MJF 3D printer. Crank style magazine winder for the Planet Eclipse CF20 magazine. Comprises of three parts (Handle, A...

Zombie Girl doing what she does best.... taking No S%$& from anyone and just racking up the kills!! ** Warning either the audio is getting better on Zombie Girl videos or she is developing a potty mouth **

At Planet HQ we love the club structure. It just make so much sense when it comes to Paintball teams, coaching and player development if done right. in the UK we have two great examples Warped and SaD.. I'm sure there are more around the World, let us know if you are a member of one.... One such club is RNPPC out of France... Created in 2014 with a single objective: to train players under 16 in the practice of paintball (using 50cal Paintballs).. fast forward to today where RNPPC have 4 teams in the U16 League but also in Div 3 and Div 1 shooting 68cal. The RNPPC Div 1 squad has an average age of 25 and the Div 3 just 17 years of age!! RNPPC have over 60 members in the club, including 30 children under the age of 16. RNPPC have been crowned French Champions twice and 3 times of Ile de France in U16 and last year 2nd in Div2 which opened the door to division 1. The season has started in France but as with everything Team Covid is dominating the frustrating the teams. But RNPPC are...

As we emerge deeper out of lockdown around the World we love to hear about people starting to play again here at Planet Eclipse HQ. When one of our Emortals drops us a message (and pics) about a 3 vs 3 Magfed event then we get very excited. Jungle Island in Lake Elsinore  ran, what I believe was, the first United Mag Fed league event. Featuring 5-man teams, 3 man teams and individuals.   Zombie Girl played on a 3-Man team called SoCal Mercenaries (SCM) and took 2 nd Place with Zombie Girl also taking the event MVP award :-) Zombie Girl said “ I absolutely loved attending this event, way more competitive then attending our normal MFOG's. Definitely something for any Magfed player to attend in the future. Whether you’re doing 1v1, 3v3 or 5v5 this is definitely an event not to miss. I can't wait for the next one. ”   Check out the United Mag Fed League info here:  https://www.unitedmagfed.com/ We noticed that Zombie Girl had her kill cams on so we hope to s...

If your into your Magfed or just love all types of Paintball then check out the latest episode of the Frontline Paintball Podcast Featuring 2 Emortals! Host Leadfarmer and guest Aartwood! Every Sunday so tune in: https://www.facebook.com/frontlinepaintballpodcast/

This video made me smile... We all know that Paintball is an amazing sport and I'm sure we all love it for many different reasons. But when you watch this video the pure joy when Zombie Girl shoots someone or wins the game just bring a little joy to the screen.... I think it safe to say that Zombie Girl won this day, EMG100 FTW :-) FYI.. The place of filming is not a proper Paintball venue. It is a small, private, secret training location, thus some of the less than desirable bunkers / parking. I hope Mo's Car wash has a new sign :-) #PaintballStrong

Warped Sports have been at the forefront of developing a successful ‘club’ structure in the UK with a pretty big active membership base playing anything and everything from several teams playing airball at the CPPS, tournament woodsball teams, big game and Scenario teams and I’m sure even some MagFed players. The Warped Paintball Club structure allows players from a huge variant of backgrounds to join a club and be part of something, make new likeminded friends, play for a team with a way of fighting through the ranks to one day playing on the Elite squad and even for Team GB which several of the players have achieved.  When Warped Sports approached Planet Eclipse and said they had chosen Planet Eclipse to be the marker of choice for their Wolverhampton Warped Elite team for 2020 we were over the moon. Due to the nature of a club structure we understand that not everyone in the club will be shooting Planet Eclipse markers, you can’t expect a new member to join and then HAVE...

Every now and again a cool video pops up on our radar. BLiNdS1De7 from Blackwater Mercenaries dropped a cool video a week or so ago featuring some great action using the EMG100. I can only dream of getting those one shot one kill moments!!! Nice Work…. Very nice work indeed. Remember to Subscribe and click the bell if you enjoyed. EMG100 WTF!

Aartwood, one of the Planet Eclipse Emortals, just posted up another great video of him playing using his very cool EMG100 at his local Paintball park against not only other Magfed players but all comers shooting speedball markers etc.. and he does himself very proud… Check out the video and remember to click the subscribe button and the bell. EMG100 for the win !

Leadfarmer has recently joined the Emortal Army and is now rocking the EMG100 and has also became an Emortal . Last week he took the EMG100 out for a spin and we said let us know how you get on. When the video came in we were very surprised at the conditions he has playing in... Brave Man! Minus -7C I think it's safe to say Leadfarmer liked the EMG100 :-) Check out Leadfarmer on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/leadfarmerpaintball/ Check out the Frontline Paintball Podcast where Leadfarmer is co-host: https://www.facebook.com/frontlinepaintballpodcast/

Over the years I think we can say that we have been on the cutting edge of metal finishes. We helped develop the original Splash which lead the wave of fades and acid wash that we saw in the 90's. Planet was the first to create the cool Aurora finish on markers and we have developed some amazing custom graphic anodising finishes and our full body wraps, like the HDE Camo pattern. We have even commissioned an artist that specialisted in anodising art to make us something super special, but let’s just say artistic differences stopped that project from going much further. When we visit real gun shows like IWA and Shot Show I’m always impressed with the 'Show Pieces' that some vendors create for display. I have tried several times to speak to them about how they do it and who does it but I got stone walled every time. I found out quite early on that the finish that they have on these show pieces is called Cerakote (other brand do exist) but even when you speak to Cerako...

We LOVE to hear about our teams, their adventures, the victories, the failures (not so much) and every now and again we see a team going above and beyond. When you get a pretty cool video sent to you that the Paintball World needs to see you need to get a bit more info about the team in question. We received one such video the other day from Capital Killerz. We like these guys. They seems to have their heads in the right place and are making some great moves at the UK Woodland Masters. With the UKWM Final round this weekend will they be able to hang again with the big biys that are fighting for the UKWM 2019 Title? We don’t know but they have proved they can do it once this year so lets see what happens tomorrow… This is what Arron had to say…. The Capital Killerz have been on a roll the last few Woodland Masters rounds with two Pro 1st place finishes. First at Round 3 UK Woodland Masters at Holmbush with Arron Thorp, Jack Marsh, Russell Johnston, Leo Carter-Smith, ...

The Norwegian season is over and we can look back at a lot of great paintball-games and awesome moves. This year the Norwegian paintball federation took over the series. Their mission was to run it “the player’s way”. The feedback after the season was good, and they are working on making it even better next year. We had 4 legs of NPL (Norwegian Paintball League), Gjøvik, Degernes, Skarnes and the season finale was on the Rønholt arena. Over 40 teams in 4 divisions participated in the series, and the divisions was tight. No one was sure to be on the podium before the finals. That’s how we like it. J Throughout the season, the top 3 in Pro have been varied between Blast, Knights and Dynamite so the last event would decide the overall-winner. The winner of pro could also crown themselves with the title National Master – Norway’s best team 2019. In the prelims, Blast won all their games. Dynamite had 1 win, 1 loose (against Blast) and one draw. Knights had 2 wins and ...

For the past few years, since Christmas day 2013, the Malaysian paintball industry suffered greatly with the introduction of paintball marker controls which required Firearm permits or licenses to own and use. All paintball fields, centres, paintball events and tournaments collapsed and closed down together with all the paintball stores. However to buck the trend, with careful negotiation with the Federal authorities and with the full hearted sponsorship, support, advise and encouragement from Ledz at Planet Eclipse, the Eclipse Paintball Series EPS - was born and began operation in early 2015. Adhering to strict SOP from the Federal authorities, paintball tournaments were brought back to life but not without its difficulties and hard work. After 5 hard and long years, EPS paintball series successfully bore fruits with the recognition by Planet Eclipse, ProShar, Virtue and GOG Paintball and becoming ProShar EPS in 2019. The vision of EPS is to revive the local paintball indus...
