Planet Eclipse 2010 jersey

Planet Eclipse has made some of the best soft goods to date, but are outclassed by Empire and Valken.
Planet Eclipse jersey's feature chest, wrist, and shoulder padding. It also has a microfibre cloth sewn in to the inside of the waist area if you happened to be shot in the lens of you mask. Although the microfibre cloth isn't all that great. They come in a variety of different colors such as... White, aqua (blue), fire (red), black/gold, and dig-E-cam.

Etek 3



My Etek 3

The Etek 3 is unmatched by anything in a $350-650 price range, although critical paintball's customized FEP quest has proved to be a worthy opponent. The Etek comes with an sl3 hpr, your standard ego 10 lpr, oops on/off asa, cure 1 bolt, and a zick 1 ram. The Etek is meant to be, i hate to say it; one of planet eclipse's lower end guns, but still utilizes the soul of an ego, rough shooting, high cost, and unmatched quality for its price. As a result of being eclipse's "lower end gun", they did not add a cure 3 bolt, and instead slipped a cure 1 system for the stock Etek. also they added a zick 1, (the zick 2 was also out) but they did add the current hpr; the sl3 reg.

Dye I4



The I4, one of the best mask's on the market, it's a leader in comfort, style, and design. But not breathability. there is no air holes where your nose goes, but it all sort of goes away when you are playing. thats pretty much all i have to complain about on this one. This mask is amazing though, the thermal lenses are great, soft ears are good, but sometimes when you put the mask on they will bend in so you have to put it on again. The mask comes in a large variety of colors. too much i guess you could say. it does not come with a visor, there is actually no need for one as the lens does a great job of blocking the sun. the lens still need to be replaced from time to time. The lenses are very big and so it makes a big target so you might have to replace it a little bit more than usual.

Dye Rotor

The Dye Rotor. Three words: best hopper ever.
as most people would agree. Ive had no problems with the rotor. It does not popcorn, doesn't jam, and it's very consistent when on the gun and when doing a drop test. Durability is outstanding. Although very easy to take apart, the first time is annoying, mainly becase there is a lot of pushing in, pulling, and stuff like that. Another reason is because the rotor's owner's manual wasn't very detail. (probably because im used to planet eclipse) But once you take it apart a few times, you can do it in around twenty seconds. Another thing i liked about the rotor is the power button, three reasons. 1.The power light was very straight forward. Light on, it's on. Light off, it's off. 2.the button had a satifying click when I turned it on and off. 3.the button had a very bright blue light.
The rotor is a rather loud hopper, but when there is paint in it, it is silent.

beginner paintballer tips

1. After a barrel break or chop, always clean immediately with a barrel swab or squeegee
2.When playing a game, its a good idea to move up to the middle bunkers or the snake to get the most out of the game
3.Regularly lube your marker's bolt, hpr (regulator), and lpr (APPROPRIATE LUBE ONLY)
4.Before every time you play, make sure to chronograph your gun (check the velocity/fps of your gun
5.Every time you are shot in the mask lens (or goggles as some people might say) always clean with a microfibre cloth, some paintball jersey's have a microfibre cloth inside of them.(Like Planet Eclipse)
6.The most important rule of all is to ALWAYS have you barrel sock on when you are not playing and have a mask on when you are EVER using your gun. (shooting in your backyard is an example of when you should have a mask)
