Planet Eclipse Ego Cure 2 Bolt

The Cure 2 Ego bolt for the Planet Eclipse Ego Bolts is a Great Upgrade. The Ego Cure 2 bolt is a great upgrade over the basic stock bolt and will help your marker to perform to the best of its ability. The all new Cure 2 bolt allows you to shoot even the most fragile paint through your Ego or Etek marker. Incorporating SADOS (Shock Absorbent Dual O-ring System), low impact air flow, a ramped top face and an easy install indicator, all you have to do is concentrate on your game!

There is no issue with:
Etek2 Standard
Ego5 Standard
Ego5 XSV
Ego6 XSV
Ego7 (+ all Custom Bodies, Vicious, Pevs etc)
Ego8 (+ all Custom Bodies, Vicious, Pevs etc)

Problem Models:
Etek Standard
Ego5 Nexus
Ego6 Standard
Ego6 Nexus
SL66

The issue: The Cure2 Bolt comes fitted with the same bolt pin that is used on Ego8 and SL8r. The head of this pin sits lower to the body than previous pins, in order to fit in with the lower profile machining of the 08 model range. This lower pin head can cause an issue with some of the older models. The pin head can rub on the top of the body.

Solution: The standard pin out of any of the non-conforming guns can be fitted to the Cure2 in order to get it to function without any rubbing.

Wargear Tippmann A5 & X7 Soft Cyclone Paddles

This is a great new upgrade for your Tippmann A5 or Tippmann X7 paintball gun. The wargear squishee paddles easily install and make your gun a lot easier on paint.

WarGear Soft Flexi Paddles are the first Cyclone Soft Paddle to feature the Exclusive Interlocking design that helps eliminate the paddles from becoming out of alignment which is a common problem on other soft paddles.

They also fit more snug on the cyclone shaft which is another advantage to keeping them in place during rapid fire. WarGear paddles include a Nylon washer to help reduce friction between the cyclone feed and the soft paddles which reduces friction and wear and helps extend the life of the paddle.

Made specifically to help eliminate ball breaks and improve performance in all Tippmann cyclone markers.


Features

* WarGear Cyclone Flexi Paddles
* Unique interlocking design
* Soft "Flexi" construction
* Unparalleled reliability and performance
* Drastically reduce ball breakage
* Excellent tester reviews
* For use with Tippmann Cyclone loaders

New Evlution 3 Paintball Loader

As tournament level paintball markers became faster and faster, players were looking for better ways to keep paint in the air and in their feednecks. The Evlution II, popularly referred to as the “Egg” due to its shape, filled a niche above the traditional Viewloader Revolution. For some time the Evlution II was one of the premier loaders for fast tournament play until the dawn of both forcefed loaders and “lower end” electronic loaders began to fill the market. The Evlution II still sells on the new and used market as a reasonably priced loader quick enough to feed mid and high end markers.

Viewloader had not marketed anything new in the form of electronic loaders (with the exception of the Viewloader Quantum) until the release of the VLocity. Shortly after the VLocity Junior and wide-mouth shell kits were introduced, along with the XSV VLocity which came with an angled lid and rechargeable battery pack. An entry level replacement for the revolution, the Viewloader Force, was also introduced. These new products represented the higher and lower end of the loader market respectively. The Evlution platform has thus been revamped and released to occupy the “mid-level” loader market, providing a fast loading platform with a price to satisfy those who aren’t looking to spend 90 to 110 dollars on a new loader.

The Evlution III features the same design as its predecessor internally, but comes pre-equipped with a faster board (as opposed to the Evlution II, which had to be upgraded with a Y board). Viewloader advertises a 23 ball per second feed rate, four balls per second faster than the Evlution II though the actual feed rate is probably slower. Six blades push balls into the raceway, and a vision-eye detects whether or not the loader should feed paint. The eye does detect dark colored paintballs. The lid is also the same as the Evlution II, a plastic door which pivots against two screws and locks into place. Out of the box however, the springs carry a lot of action and so the door will quickly and forcefully slam to a close so the user should exercise caution in placement of their fingers during the loading process.

The Evlution II back in 2002 was released to address the weaknesses of the original Evlution. The Evlution III still includes a battery spacer to ensure the 9 volts fit well in the battery door and have constant contact. Still, EGG2 users frequently had to use duct tape or other modifications to keep the battery door affixed to the loader, as it frequently would partially break or would not sit flush with the loader resulting in poor battery contact. The Evlution III features a simple locking lever which securely holds the entire battery door into place. This lever is easy to open and close but requires sufficient enough force that it should not open by itself.

The feed rate on the Evlution II was also adjustable via a variable resistor on the side. The Evlution III comes with a white dial which is more prominent and easier to access on the side. The side of the loader also still features a low battery LED indicator which may explain sluggish feed rates.

Overall, the “Egg” is still an Egg. The Evlution III does not introduce force feeding or any complete redesign and still exists as a cheaper alternative to a VLocity, but a step above the Quantum and VL Force. It has a very respectable free fall rate regardless and I had no trouble putting out quick streams of balls when tested on full speed setting on an Eclipse 07 EGO. Still, the Evlution III like its predecessor tends to make the gun a bit back heavy, especially on today’s increasingly smaller markers.

New Virtue Crown Halo Lid

Check out the all new Virtue Crown Halo Lid. This is a great upgrade for any halo loader and is very easy to install. Read up now on what the Virtue Crown for the Halo is all about.

"Special Pre-Release @ the MAO: The ALL NEW Virtue® Crown™ will be avaliable in limited quantities at the MAO-only. The first batch have been shipped to the event, so Virtue Crowns will not begin shipping from our warehouse until sometime after the MAO event. This is the "secret" feeding system you may have heard about if you're 'in the know' or saw Ollie Lang, Johnny Perchak, Pete U, Marecello Maggott and others field-testing our prototypes at Huntington Beach and Malaga!

The Virtue® Crown™ "lid-less" feed system makes reloading easier than ever while. No more opening the lid. No more paintballs spilling out or feeders popping off. The Crown's patent pending hinged elastomer design allows paint to flow freely into the hopper while preventing paint from coming back out -- no matter how hard you shake it or how hard you dive.

Guaranteed to Feed Faster & More Securely

UPDATE: VLOCITY Versions


The Crown for the HALO includes 3 parts: Locking Ring, Crown, and the Extension Collar. Players who want the lowest possible profile do not need to use the Extension Collar, and can simply attach the Crown to the hopper and lock it in place with the Locking Ring.

However, the Extension Collar offers a minimal height increase, while increasing paint capacity and improving reloading performance.

Key Features

* Virtue Crosn Ultra Fast Lid-Less Feed
* Virtue Crosn No Rise Low Profile Option
* Virtue Crosn Secure Locking Ring w/ Thumbscrew
* Virtue Crosn Durable, Memory Resistant Elastomer Will Not Crack or Get Brittle
* Virtue Crosn Available in Ultra-Soft or Standard Elasticity Versions.
* Virtue Crosn Extra Paint Capacity (with optional, including, extension collar) - HALO only
* Virtue Crosn Compatible with HALO, Magna, Revolution, Force, Eye Force (Vlocity versions coming soon)

The Crown is available in two types of Elastomer. Neither is "best", decide based on your style of play.

Standard Elastomer:
Offers a quick reload with NO chance of paint coming out. Rigid, but flexible Elastomer lets NO balls out, even with the most vigorous shaking. Can be used without the Extender for a LOW PROFILE on the HALO / MAGNA, but for best results with LOW PROFILE setups use the Ultra Soft Elastomer (see below).

Ultra Soft Elastomer:
The fastest reload with a low chance of paint coming out. Ultra Soft Elastomer keeps paint from coming out under most conditions, but vigorous shaking may lose a few balls. For LOW PROFILE on HALO / MAGNA it's better to use the Ultra Soft Elastomer (see below).

Option (included) Extension Collar:
The HALO / MAGNA have a shallow basin near the drive cone, so an Extension Collar is provided for a more consistent feed. The Extender also allows you to pack an extra 20 balls into the hopper before the start of a game. For LOW PROFILE setups without the Extender, we suggest using the Ultra-Soft Elastomer Crown. If using the Crown without the Extender, a slight downward tilt while reloading yields the best results. The downward tilt is only needed/helpful if you are not shooting while reloading. If you are shooting and reloading keep your gun up and the Crown will feed great. "

New BT TM-7 Paintball Gun

The BT TM-7 utilizes Mini Technology to inflict maximum force from a marker of minimal size.

Its lightweight, yet durable construction is perfect for close quarters or long-range combat. This is the marker that just may have people rethink the way they looked at Mil-Sim paintball markers.

Paintball CO2 Tanks Explode - Dangerous For Paintball

Kee Action Sports and Mark Contois have launched a paintball co2 tank safety initiative awareness program. Mark Contois’ wife was killed by a co2 tank in 2004 and has teamed up with Kee Action Sports to inform others of the dangers that co2 tanks used in paintball.

It’s a short article explaining the situation but to sum it up: Dude’s wife died because some kid didn’t install an anti-siphon tube in his co2 tank correctly so he’s trying to let people know that only professionals should be doing installs on co2 tanks.

Since Kee Action Sports has teamed up with Mr. Contois, they have offered to do the tank modifications but for a modest fee. Good job Kee, partnering up with this guy so that that yall could make money. Seriously, it’s a pretty good idea from a business perspective
