Tippmann Raider After a season of teasing, waiting, prototyping and talking, the Tippmann Raider has finally begun releasing. Paintball.Media first teased and then tested one of Tippmann’s Raider prototypes several months ago and found it to be an impressive addition to the Tippmann line thanks to an innovative design featuring an in-stock hopper that drives paintballs up and into the marker without batteries, a snappy double trigger capable of generating solid mechanical rates of fire, a consistent low-pressure drive train and an aggressive tactical look. Players in the market for something a little different, a little innovative and offering plenty of performance plus the Tippmann name, which has long-stood for quality paintball products need look no further than the new Tippmann Raider, online at www.Tippmann.com. Eclipse Magfed MG100 A Planet Eclipse Mag-fed marker. Go back and read it again. Or just read it again right here. A Planet Eclipse mag-fed marker. After years of making some of the very, very best tournament paintball markers in the game, then easing their way back down into mechanical paintball with the GMek and EMek that’s priced to let any player in on the Eclipse quality and reliability action, now they’ve turned their attention to magazine- fed markers for hardcore tactical players. Based on the EMek platform that’s already won over literally everyone that’s put their hands on one (literally, seriously), and likely to be constructed of Eclipse’s successful blend of glass-reinforced nylon and aluminum for light weight and without sacrificing durability, with the now-proven Gamma core at its heart for consistent, quiet performance with First Strike round compatibility, players looking to either go Eclipse, or stay Eclipse, while playing their paintball lock and load style will soon have that option and you can bet we’ll be there to put our hands all over one and let you know all about it! If this got you as worked up as it did us, stay tuned to PlanetEclipse.com for more. www.paintball.media 09
