If you build it they will come. After two seasons of perfecting Leadfarmer's Gulag, this Speedmag tournament as we like to call it, has caught the attention of many paintballers. It is a bridge between the two main paintball classes, a 5 vs 5 tournament on a speedball field, speedball rules but with Magfed markers.  Many Magfed players have showed up and put their skill to the test. One player said "It's so intense and fast-paced...I truly have a new-found respect for speedball. This has been the highlight of my season".  The Gulag also saw tournament players try Magfed markers for the first time, it was a big change for them. The limited ammo and the slower firing markers have made it easier for them to move more aggressively on the field, but limited ammo made them rethink their style and focus on accuracy versus firepower.  Leadfarmer's Gulag was hosted by Commando Action Centre in the Canadian capital, Ottawa. The winner team was the Frontline Squad from the F...

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...

 CF20 Mag – Important Announcement!   After 18 months of design, testing and even more testing we finally released the first production batch of our CF20 Magazines into the wild this past weekend, with the UK being the first market to use them in anger. Unfortunately, we have been made aware of an issue that resulted in the failure of a single part within the magazine for one customer. To some, the news of a single failure wouldn’t be an issue, you just send them a replacement part. But for us, any failure is a big deal. We design and manufacture our products to work as they should, to stay the course, and to be the very best on the market because ultimately WE also want to use these products. If a product fails our customers, we believe we fail as a brand. R&D have been analysing the part in question and have identified the problem.  We are currently arranging a replacement part to be manufactured, which will be replaced in all retail units as quickly as physically p...

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...

MagFed. We love it. We’re incredibly proud of our growing range of MagFed products and genuinely humbled by how well we’ve been accepted into the MagFed community. So much so that we've created a MagFed Division within Planet Eclipse. Simply named EMF. Eclipse Mag Fed.  We're heavily back-ordered at the moment but for our latest imminent shipment, and all shipments going forward, the EMF logo will feature across our range of MagFed product packaging as a stamp of quality, so the customer knows that each product has been custom designed, built and tested to work for them. As it should. Game after game. Without fail. We’ve also taken this opportunity to tweak the name of our awesome MagFed EMEK, the EMG100. This will now be named the EMF100 (Emek Mag Fed 100) which is a small change but one that helps us manage and promote our MagFed presence.  New to Planet Eclipse Mag Fed products? Here’s our current list that will help fuel your MagFed habit: EMF100 (EMEK MagFed) Follower an...

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!

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
