CBP Event # 4 Dates & Info + Nicky T

-

It’s not every day that you get an opportunity to head out to a far off land for a long weekend, under the guise of work, so when I was asked if I would like to go to Sao Paulo in Brazil to represent Eclipse at one of the country’s biggest paintball events of the year – I literally jumped at the chance! Having experienced (and survived) a couple of South American tours of duty to the likes of Columbia and Venezuela, I’m keen to add the proverbial Brazil flag to my list of countries to visit, and Mega Play Paintball have kindly provided the opportunity to do exactly that on the weekend of the 4th/5th December.

For those of you who don’t already know it, Mega Play are the latest edition to our network of Eclipse Service Centres throughout the world and the opportunity to visit their store, check out the Brazilian paintball scene as well as combining that with a trip to my favorite continent was just too good to pass up! Prior to heading to Sao Paulo I will be filling my bag on the latest and greatest trinkets from Eclipse and plan on taking an Ego11 and Geo2 with me so that anyone who wants to try them out can gladly do so. As well as the best markers available I’ll also be stocking up on as much Eclipse promo gear as I can stuff into my bag so if you’re planning on coming along to the event then make sure that you stop by the Eclipse Tech Support Booth there or catch me as I’m wondering around the event to get your Eclipse hook-ups!

To give you a rough outline of roughly when I’ll be there and what I’m likely to be doing here is my itinerary so far:

Friday 3rd December: Field walking and game plans with Eclipse Teams and demonstrating the Ego11 and Geo2

Saturday 4th December: Teaching basic maintenance to Ego/Geo owners at the Eclipse Tech Support Booth and demonstrating Ego11 and Geo2

Sunday 5th December: Teaching basic maintenance to Ego/Geo owners at the Eclipse Tech Support Booth and demonstrating Ego11 and Geo2

Monday 6th December: Store visit to our newest Brazilian Service Centre: Mega Play!

The final ulterior motive for making the trip is to collect some footage of the experience for the first in a very special series of ETV’s documenting paintball across the globe and the characters associated with it! So if there are any South American players out there who want to make a name for themselves; here’s your chance! I look forward to seeing some very familiar faces and meeting lots of new ones there in just over three week time, so travel safe and I’ll see you there!

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...

Mutant Warfare

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...
