Team Capital Offense   attended the "Mutant Warfare" Scenario from Guru Games at Sherwood Forest. This event utilized next gen technology replacing outdated flag stations with digital & RFID technology.  Picture Courtesy of: Matthew Walton of Guru Games  Player ca rds are now tied to the scenario and are no longer just for chronos and safety briefs. Players use their cards to capture flag stations, acquire props and return for points, conduct game missions and more.  Picture courtesy of: Jon Barber The score was tracked in real time using Wi-Fi and RFID technology and a virtual game map was displayed that showed faction control as it happened.  Players were also able to score points individually and see their ranking on the leaderboard.  Developed by Matthew "MrEspn" Walton of Guru Games, the game also integrated Discord for live event updates and VOIP chats. The event was hailed as a significant step forward in paintball innovation, attracting pla...

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...

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 !

SanDiego Giant Paintball Park, Lakeside, California  Zombiegirl hasn't been playing Paintball for long (about a year) and she is certainly learning on the job. But Zombiegirl isn't scared to get in and mix it up with all the players shooting 'Speedball Markers' which we absolutely love... Zombiegirl also got one of the first Quake Barrels to try. She is using round ball in this video but she likes the CQB (short) set-up.  How many of you would go head to head against ramping electro markers using only a Magfed Marker?  Follow Zombie Girl Here: https://www.facebook.com/theresa.moran.71

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/

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. A 45 minutes ferry ride from Borneo or 150 minutes of flying time from Kuala Lumpur. This R500SLE fixed cost and limited paintball tournament was organized by the local paintball Kelab GHRT and co-organized by Raskal Sports and Sri Awana Paintball with the fullest support for the Labuan Development Foundation, Federal Territories Ministry, Ministry of Tourism, Interland Trading and Labuan Financial Park. This paintball development tournament targeted at new players, teams and returning players saw a total of 50 teams participating and with nearly half of these teams as Rookies with no paintball experience.  We had a team of y...

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.

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 ...
