Planet
Eclipse
Words & Pictures by Alicia Bane

Planet Eclipse was a popular booth at Extravaganza

showcasing all of the past markers as well as new. Around
the time of the NXL World Cup, Planet Eclipse released
the new CS1 and Gtek. These guns were a HUGE hit near
the end of the season. Everyone was talking about the
new CS1 and Gtek and wanting one.
Planet Eclipse has been known for their markers for a
long time. Most of the markers that Eclipse produces are
high-end markers. Such is true for the Etha. The Etha is a
quality paintball marker that is used all the time to this day.
It is reliable and comes with the Planet Eclipse customer
service. Planet Eclipse has unmatched customer service
that everyone enjoys. When you buy a marker through
them, you get the whole shebang along with it.
And then there is the EGO LV1. This marker is just like the
others when it comes to quality and reliability. The LV1
comes introduces a revolutionary new design called the
Lever Valve. This new feature has a lot of benefits for this
particular marker, making it particularly popular. It also
came with a new Air Transfer Pipe.
And then there was the GEO 3.5, another very popular
marker. This marker has the best features of proven Eclipse
markers, and then some. This marker is very customizable.
This marker also comes with the AT Pipe system.
And then there was the CS1, and oh boy this was a popular
one when it first came out. Right before the World Cup,
Eclipse released this marker and their fans went nuts.
Professional teams like San Diego Dynasty were using this
the next event they went to. The one thing that Planet
Eclipse was really showcasing at Paintball Extravaganza was
the Dynasty CS1. This marker is like the regular but specially
made with “Dynasty” on it. For the first time on Eclipse

markers, all air runs through the frame of this marker. This
marker was the dawn of a new era for the Geo line.
And last but certainly not least, The Gtek. This marker
was released the first day of the NXL World Cup and
everyone was talking about it. The Etek was popular,
but not everyone likes the feel or the external moving
components of a stacked-tube poppet valve marker. This
marker is quieter, faster, stronger, and better than those
before it. It is compact and reliable and a great asset to
any paintball player.
Planet Eclipse is and always will be one of paintball players
favorite companies. The customer service and dedication
of their team is unmatched and makes every customer feel
great about who they are buying from. Their products are
reliable and some of the best on the market. If you are in
