The performance of a paintball marker is credited by accuracy, distance, firing rate, efficiency, and design. However, one establishes these features in an order of what is most important to what is least important to their individual profile, as the marker must coincide with that person’s style of play. Where evaluations of paintball markers become prevalent is in the competitive, tournament scenario (5v5) gameplay. The most obvious evaluation to be made between markers is the open-bolt versus closed-bolt system, as exemplified between DLX Technologies’ Luxe and Planet Eclipse’s LV1. DLX Technologies’ Luxe is a pinnacle in paintball marker technology, and that high price tag is justified the moment you shoot one. Smooth cycling, high reliability, soft, accurate shot, and prestige (limited quantities of each design) are all included with this astonishing gun. The 14-inch barrel system of the Luxe provides unprecedented control and accuracy along with its …show more content…

The new Ego mechanical design and feel elevate this marker from its sister markers of previous years. In this newly created Planet Eclipse marker, you will find a redesigned air system that produces less kick as the pressure from the air intake in lessened, also decreasing the force between the bolt and the rammer. This decreased force produces better air efficiency all the way through the marker during matches. The open-bolt is placed directly behind the breech (the area where paintballs drop into to be shot) and does not rest in a forward position.
