San Diego Dynasty have officially left Planet Eclipse. As we reported yesterday, it looked very much like the boys in blue were going to be switching over to Bob Long. Ryan Greenspan made it official today. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end, and our experience with Planet Eclipse was nothing short of great. Eclipse is truly one of the companies in paintball that does it right, and that shows in everything they do.…
Ever since Eric Crandall bought Bob Long, there’s been speculation that Dynasty would make the switch to Bob Long from Planet Eclipse. Eric Crandall was an original Dynasty member and has worked closely with the team since its inception. Dynasty has been with Planet Eclipse for 5 years a relationship that has worked very well for both parties. Dynasty get the best guns in the world and Planet Eclipse get one of the most marketable teams. Alex…

The Spyder MR6 has its issues, and the RAP4/MCS guns are all around horrible; can Tippmann make a…
Dirty Works along with some help from Bob Long are rereleasing a lot of out of date Bob Long parts. The parts all look to be old stock, that have been sitting around and are now seeing the light of day again! The past few years a lot of Bob Long guns have been brought back to life by some of their old owners. The main problem with restoring old paintball guns is obtaining parts. Parts over time get used…
ts that time of the year; new paintball things! This year we got a lot of new gear, new guns from Planet Eclipse and Empire; new loaders from Virtue and GI Sportz and plenty of new soft goods. There were a lot of new products to choose from this year; some choices were obvious while others took some mulling over. The only stipulations were that the product had to be released in 2016 or debuted…
m a sucker for a good deal. I love the mid-range paintball guns like the Empire Axe and the Planet Eclipse Gtek, so naturally, I was thrilled when Virtue announced the Vio Ascend. There is just something about getting a good deal that I love. Maybe it is that I don’t take care of things well, and if it is a bit cheaper I don’t feel as bad about it. Or maybe I’m just cheap….…
