Emortal Army Legends #9 - Billy Bernacchia

 #21 Billy Bernacchia

Recently voted as 2021 Snake Player of the Year, Billy Bernacchia run, dove and crawled his way into the Emortal Army Legends deck with ease. As one paintball's human missiles Billy's speed, strength and relentless ability to go, go and keep on going is virtually unmatched in the Pro leagues.

Off the field he's an incredibly decent human being, but when he steps under the net something odd happens. Either the fresh air affects him or he's afraid of loud noises, we're not sure, but he transforms into a virtually unstoppable, devastating snake-side weapon of mass destruction. And he aint slowing any time soon y'all.

Billy, you rock!


And as with all of our Emortal Legends, we asked Billy a few simple questions.

Favourite paintball moment?

One of my favorites was being a part of the 2005 ESPN show at the Miami NPPL event. This was my first year playing pro and we (Hurricanes) were a younger, inexperienced team. I remember specifically being at a league meeting before the event started and they told us that only the teams who make the top 8 (Sunday Club) would be a part of the show. I remember some of the other Pros telling me not to worry about it cause we wouldn't make the cut. One of those guys was a part of DC Arsenal, who we played and beat. I got a 4 pack against them and laughed my way off the field. They didn't make the cut. We did. I then went on to be an ESPN paintball star! Joke was on them 🤣


Favourite Eclipse marker you've used?

The 2013 Golden GSL! I was lucky enough to take her for a spin during the 2013 World Cup which we (Xfactor) won! This gun shot and looked amazing. Unfortunately Ledz took it back after the event 🙁 It was short-lived for me but one hell of a ride! 


What's the story behind your jersey number?

My Birthday 12-21. Since Tom Brady is already 12, I took 21. It's also Blackjack, which I enjoy as an avid gambler.


Thanks for your time Billy, stay fast!


Tune in next week for our next Emortal Legend! But who will it be?

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
