Hey Jack, I assume this is still bt4/98 stock friendly like the EMC kits for other PE markers? Also, will there be a feedneck plug of some sort for die-hard mag fed guys that don't want rails blocked by a feedneck?

I played with it for a few hours at Fulda Gap last weekend. Amazingly fun marker!!! In fact, I'm going to be purchasing my first ever mag fed. Anything PE makes, well, they will stand behind it, it will be reliable, and industry changing. Can't wait!

Should have went with TMC or First Strike T15 magwell or at least build variants of the lower; one for TMC mags and one for T15 mags as well.

Air in stock will be great too and then you would really kill it in the magfed scene.

It doesn’t have to be an AR clone or take AR accessories.

Oh boy does Eclipse definitely entices me spending my money.

Also to address the 220 shots off a 13/3000 tank.... Last scenario I was at I was running a gmek with a spire and 26/3k tank, was able to shoot thru the Spire and the 200 balls in my pack before filling up. So pretty valid claims if you asked me

DAM does both round and FSR. TMC doesn't, not sure on T15.

Yes TMC mag is round ball only. And they are very affordable.

T15 mags do both FSR and round ball and hold 20.

Here’s hoping Dye makes a 20 round constant feed mag. Instead of having to reinsert your mag every 10 shots.

Up until this I had no intention of wanting a magfed gun.

I can 100% confirm that not only is this true but I think realistically it could actually be higher w/ proper bore-sizing and a topped off hot fill to a true 3k.... I shot this gun myself this weekend and Fulda Gap along with a few other members of my group, these aren't "claims" these are facts.

I don’t think anyone is disputing the efficiency. It’s a gamma core. The lowest operating pressure for any magfed marker to date is probably the Milsig M17 and it’s Heat Core runs around 350psi. And it’s an air hog compared to other magfed markers 100-130 shots off a 13ci. The gamma core is what 135psi? Not surprised it would have way more shots off a 13ci.

Next time I’m out with my gtek I’m going to run it with a 13 ci tank instead of my 48/4500.

Dye Dam runs at about 135-150 iirc but operating pressure is not an indicator of efficiency.. efficiency is a by product of great design. Just about every other magfed marker gets better efficiency than the Milsig line. T15/468/and Maxtact will get you close to that efficiency (8iish mags)

I absolutely love the Planet is getting in the game. Adds a little more validity to our niche within a niche

Paintball News Rules
  1. No Upping threads. If you have something to say, please do, but don't post in the thread just to take it to the top of the forum.
  2. Do not post "1st post", "1st", "First post" or anything similar (or with any other number) at any point in a thread, even if you post a comment too. It is really annoying and it will result in a ban.
  3. If you don't like something, say why instead of just calling it ugly, lame, gay or any other name. If it is old, simply post a link or report the post with a link to the older News thread.
  4. Please don't post links for places to buy items. That encourages stores, sponsored players and other people to do it and spam the site.
If you have questions, please post them in the Talk to Mods/Admins forum.
