chrongraph, the Inception EMek delivered a string of 291, 288, 290 and another at 287, 292, 290 in pretty Spring weather with clear skies and temperatures in the seventies. At the target range, the gun’s velocity consistency and the quiet, well-honed Inception Stella barrel worked in perfect concert to deliver “pick a spot and shoot it” accuracy at all ranges. Fence post? Ping. Old goggles on a stick? Cycloptic optic. Pod on the ground. Clack, sorry it’s cracked now no more pod for you. When it was time to jump on the trigger, we recorded several strings over a chronograph measuring for average rate of fire and easily hit and held an average of 8.9 shots per second – and that’s with a single-trigger, mechanical paintball gun. That’s a hell of a gun – we told you way back there a couple pages ago. You’ve gotta trust us on this stuff. In short, the question was answered pretty emphatically and left no doubt in our minds – the ultimate Eclipse EMek can be built with Inception upgrades that absolutely, positively creates a gun more than the sum of its parts. An Inception EMek is incredibly light, impressively accurate, fast firing, simple to maintain, relentlessly reliable, consistent over the chrono, easy on the eyes and, when its performance is compared to its price point, easy on the wallet, too! All that and Simon’s soothing voice? Sign us up!
