A Christmas hug from Norway

-
It’s cold, it’s wet and there isn’t a huge amount of Paintball going on. Kristine (one of the Eclipse Emortal sponsored players from Norway) wanted, in the spirit of Christmas and the New Year to share a few of her traditions with you all…. Education is never a bad thing…

I think this is the calm, sweet side of Kristine. I’m sure she will get back to mowing fools down again as soon as the weather allows!!

“From all of us to all of you…..”

I’m not sure how the Christmas-tradition is in the different countries where my fellow paintballers live, but here in Norway Christmas is all about traditions.

A short version of our Christmas:

We’re decorating the tree in the evening of the 23rd; we watch the classics on TV Christmas morning. Some of the classics are Disney Christmas, Three Wishes for Cinderella and The journey to the Christmas Star


Before we can spin around and rip open all the gifts under the tree (at least that’s how I do it :-) we eat a lot of good food. In Norway we have three different dishes that mark the tradition in different areas in the country; pork rib, salted and dried rib of mutton and an old dish called lyed stockfish. The safest one in my area is definitive the pork rib :-) And after that it is rice-cream, a delicious creamy dessert where we hide an almond. The one person who gets the almond in their dish gets a present, usually a marzipan pig :-) an event in itself.

Some things I believe most of us have in common, even if we live all around the world, are the family love, the gifts and lots of good food during the Christmas days.

It would be cool to hear a bit about other countries traditions and how you guys celebrate the holiday-what kind of food and rituals makes your Christmas special?

A lot of love and greetings from Kristine. xx

TECH BULLETIN: CS3 HPR Body O-Rings ⚙️

Whenever we hear reports of any issues with our products – no matter how small – we like to jump on it as soon as possible, try our best to understand the root of the problem and then provide a definitive solution. Over the last couple of weeks we have received reports of some inconsistent air leaks from the frame and POPS area of the CS3. Every marker that we produce is thoroughly tested prior to packaging and shipping, but unfortunately these leaks have developed after shipping, and normally at temperatures below those that the markers experience in testing. This is generally down to contraction – or shrinkage – of seals that occurs as the temperature drops. The leak can be heard from around the grips or, with the grips removed, from the Regulator Hole A in the side of the frame. It can also be heard from the join between the bottom of the frame and the POPS. We have traced these leaks to what appears to be a bath of bottom tolerance 016 NBR70 o-rings used on the brass HPR Body (see

PSP World Cup...#GOTEAM!

It's officially the week of the world's biggest tournament paintball event on the Planet, the PSP World Cup in Orlando-Florida and we cannot wait! With so much up for grabs this year for our teams we're super excited to see how they all perform. For some, it's about finishing what they started in 2014, for others it's about putting the team in the best possible position for 2015's first event. To help our teams build some momentum this week, beyond providing them with equipment that looks great and performs flawlessly, we thought we'd have some fun with them on social media and generate some online rivalry between them, as well as getting some fan support along the way. It's simple. We've created a number of World Cup graphics for each team that works with all kinds of awesome imagery. Simply share the image, use their hashtags and cheer them on in the real world at Cup. What's that? You don't follow them or us on Instagram? Well, her
