The End of Eclipse Splashes?

-
Splash Anodising… You could almost say it’s in our blood. A LONG time ago we started having some of the most famous splash colour ways done to a variety of Eclipse Custom markers. We're not talking about EGOs or GEOs at this point, way before that. Cockers, Automags, Shockers, Angels, Spyders, Impulses... the list is pretty long. Some of those splash names and colour combos are still loved and coveted today, such as Banzai Green, Fire, Ice, Speedy Blue and Electric Skies to name a few.

Unfortunately for us, the company who created our splash designs back in the day (we're talking about early 90’s) stopped doing the custom splash anodising many years ago so the art of getting it done and done right in the UK lay dormant, until we found someone else to start up the classic colour ways again. This was exciting, so as well as our much-loved classic splash designs we decided to create a few future classics too such as Shock Splash, Riddle and Nebula, to name just a few. Splash was back and it was cool to see players loving the classic styles as well as the new colours. But, alas, things have changed yet again.

Future Classic: Eclipse Shock Splash 
Future Classic: Eclipse Riddle Splash 

A short time ago our current anodiser lost the magic man. Our guy. Some would say artist, who created and managed to reproduce the same style splash anodising that we had all those years ago. The latest run of CS2’s in splash have now been built and are looking like the very last batch of their kind. We currently can't see the light at the end of the splash tunnel either, so until we find another company to recreate our unique styles, these are it.


Classic: Eclipse Fire Splash (CS2)

But all is not lost.

We do have some of these splash CS2s in stock... for now. But don't wait too long...

And on that note... let's have a moment of silence for the Eclipse Classic Splashes. Until we meet again dear friends.

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...
