The start of the 2020 paintball season was marked by the start of Paintball Extravaganza. These are most of the new products that were shown at the event. This year the event took place in a new location the Crowne Plaza in Memphis from February 18-20th 2020.

When the event starts I will be adding products show at the event here.

Planet Eclipse, DLX, Dye, Tippmann, Virtue and the rest of the big players will all there, many smaller companies like Push and Field One were also there showing off their gear for 2020 and beyond.

I like these! I’m a fan on the Tippmann Cronus, it’s a solid gun at a great price. The Stormer and the Stormer Tactical are just a “new” version of the Cronus. I love the new look! Tippmann also released the Stomer Elite the is mag-fed, much like the Tippmann TMC.

Dye 2020 Autococker Parts

Like a flashback to 2004 Dye have some NEW autococker parts. Dye do have some competition in the Autococker space though, Inception Designs and Shocktech both making great pneumatics. I was a fan of the original Dye Autococker stuff, so I’m hoping this stuff is nicer 🤞.
