That wasn ’ t bad , and it took all of a quick twist of an Allen wrench to get it to 277 , 273 , 275 to get me everything I could under the 280 game limit . As I was wearing blue for the game , that meant we were tasked with doing all we could to hold off a vastly numerically superior horde , so I hit the field with a Bunkerkings CTRL loader , a 68 / 4500 Immortal Air compressed air bottle and 6 pods plus a full hopper . If I had it to do over again , I probably would have carried about 17 more pods , but this combination as a lightweight , compact , accurate and consistent shooting machine that let me shoot every paintball I was carrying with air to spare and put a healthy number of those rounds upside other people ’ s heads , many of whom were coming at me running electronic guns costing over a grand . Thanks to the metal trigger and standard FL
3-way valve in the gun , I was easily able to hit consistent rates of fire approaching ten shots per second and through the entire day and a hell of a lot of paintballs down the barrel , I had zero breaks or chops .
Lightweight , accurate , efficient , affordable , easy to maintain , offering all the features modern players demand and doing it all at a price well under 400 dollars , the Eclipse Etha3M is an impressive paintball gun . Able to compete at the local field , in big games and scenario events and capable of hitting the field competitively at mechanical tournaments with few , if any , necessary modifications , if this is the N3XT L3V3L , we like it . But to make writing easier , I think I ’ ll just stick with Next Step .
