Saying that our Eclipse Emek has revolutionised the rental experience for customers, and park owners, may seem like one heck of a boast–which isn't usually our style–but in this case we 100% stand by that statement. 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. We spoke with Tom from OSG in New England (USA) who had this to say > Tell us a little about OSG.   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 Sco...

Cards on the table, and it's a bit of a running joke between ourselves and our awesome French buddies at Camp Paintball; every year there is an exceptional series of events called the French National Championships featuring the very best French teams, so the action is incredible. But we always find it confusing... even though it actually isn't. So we've asked our buddies at Camp to explain the story so far, seeing as we actually sponsor and support the teams who kick serious ass at every event. Take it away Richard! So the “Championnat de France” (French National Championship) is the pinnacle of all French Leagues throughout France. All main Region in France run their Leagues, affiliated to the French Federation (FFP - Fédération Française de Paintball) and at the end of the season, the best Teams in each Division qualify for the “Championnat de France”. After a blank year due to COVID, the Event took place at Ace Paintball in Dreux. It’s 1 hour from Paris and so far, the s...

  #69 Chris LaSoya Arguably the G.O.A.T. and someone fully deserving of the Emortal title, Chris 'Glory Boy' LaSoya has divided opinion, single-handedly destroyed teams and still to this day knows how to dominate on the field. His inimitable playing style, flair and ruthless ability to win a game all by himself are just some of the reasons he's idolised across the globe. 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.  So all hail Glory Boy. AKA Pony Boy. AKA the G.O.A.T. We salute your past, present and future as one of paintball's most influential badasses. A true EMortal. And as with all our EMortals, we asked them 3 very simple questions. Photo: paintballphotography.com Favourite paintball moment? There are so many great memories I have had in the years I have been doing this, it is hard to narr...

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...

Welcome to the sunny isle of Federal Territories Labuan, just off the west coast of Borneo for the Finale of the R500SLE limited paint and fixed cost paintball tournament. A duty free island with good scuba diving sites, offshore banking, offshore oil platforms sharing a landmass of 36 square mile and with just a population of 100,000 souls.

Did anyone spot Ledz rocking these bad boys @ NXL World Cup? We always get a little embarrassed when our teams send us a gift to say thanks for the support and amazing equipment (but we also secretly LOVE IT). Some gifts are very personal (hot sauce is always a good one) and some can be pretty special. Markie C and the Manchester Firm send over this cracking gift for Ledz to wear at World Cup in the form of a custom pair of trainers (sneakers for the yanks) made by Blue Bee Custom . They feature a splash pattern in Ledz’s original colour way and the Eclipse E Logo… Very cool and very special. God only knows what Ledz was doing with his marker in bits! If you want something creating like this, that’s what Blue Bee Custom do. Check them out here: https://bluebeecustoms.net/ or on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/bluebeecustoms/ Huge thanks to the Manchester Firm for making such a cool, unique and special gift.

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...

Piratas Panama came with something to prove at the last event of the 507paintball series.  After a disappointing 4 place in the first event and 2nd place at event number 2, It was time to put everything together to try and win the series D3  championship. Piratas Panama knew the Series championship was still within reach . During this last event of the year they fought hard thru prelim on Saturday, and during semi they face a tough team, Piel Rojas, it came down to the last minute and Piratas manage a 4-3 Win. At the finals they were going to face another Planet Eclipse team, Chronic Chaos from Aruba, also contenders to take the series championship. As expected, it was a close match both teams had the chance to win.  At the end, it was a referees call that made the difference between the two teams.  Nevertheless, it was quite a sight to watch the best two teams of the series battle it out for the title. Chronic Chaos won this event, bu...
