14 Tippmann MagFed 98 Kit Tippmann’s new TCR marker wasn’t the legendary company’s only new product at the 2014 Extravaganza, nor was it even their only MAG-FED product at the show! Tippmann’s back-bone product, the 98 Custom, got in on the mag-fed action with a new kit now available from Tippmann to quickly and easily convert that marker from hopper-fed to mag-fed action. A simple kit containing a snapon adapter that takes the place of the marker’s clamping elbow and magazines to feed it, the player need only spend a few minutes and a few bucks to get into a whole new style of paintball and do it with a proven platform. Though fed from the side much like their SMG-60 marker of old, or a Sten submachine gun which may appear a bit awkward, the ability of recreational players to easily and inexpensively get into the mag-fed game is an excellent release from a company that has truly helped define paintball for decades. www.Tippmann.com Planet Eclipse HDE Gear Bag While Planet Eclipse may not have used the 2014 Paintball Extravaganza to launch a remarkable new paintball gun like their LV-1 Ego or the GSL, or even a new ETek, that doesn’t mean their booth wasn’t a great place to be. One of the products there that collected plenty of attention was their massive HDE camo kit bag, a rolling gear bag large enough to haul it all to the field and back again in style! Offering that signature Eclipse gear bag durability for season after season of dragging gear through airports, parking lots, gravel and dirt without skipping a beat, the massive HDE gear bag can fit everything from tactical equipment to tournament gear including markers, goggles, shoes, clothing and tools with room to spare. You may need a pickup truck to haul it, though, as you’d have a better chance of fitting your Fiat 500 into this thing than fitting this into your Fiat 500. www.PlanetEclipse.com March 2014
